The only thing about this record to watch out for is to watch out that you don't buy it by accident. Believe me, folks, I'm a pretty serious Harris fan, and was therefore pretty happy to recieve a promo of this from Invisible (the North American label) a couple of weeks ago, but maaaaaan, does it *blow*! I've never heard any of Transmisia's original material, but it's fairly obvious that (A) it's really, really awful geetar-industro-rawk; and (B) Harris didn't try very hard to cover up the source material with his own sound. Aside from a couple of semi-interesting dub beats, and one track where he removes all of the vocals, it's truly hideous. Ugh. On the other hand, I *do* recommend another recent release that sees Harris remixing a fairly standard industrial band: Sielwolf - V Remixes. (the V=5, I think) If you dig Scorn, you will *really* dig this... it's dark, loopy, dubby, atmospheric, and all of those other good things. It's on KK. Greg
