indub: Jack Dangers released this album as both a normal cd and a dvd-a (which I own). I must say that the 5.1 channel Meat Beat and associated videos are pretty cool. Honestly, though, just getting the cd is enough as I'll probably rip the audio and play the mp3s much more than I'll watch the dvd. DJ College has made his return, again. His rasta-rap was one of the coolest parts of Subliminal Sandwich and I'm very glad for the addition.

storm the studio rmxs: This is a remix album of Storm The Studio for its fifteen year anniversary. It's not a MBM remix album, though, that's Original Fire, but other people remixing his original. It's almost a tribute.

ruok: This was a little disappointing to me. I'm an avid Meat Beat fan, but I just couldn't get enthused about this. Plus, there's one track that just has a chick cussing up a storm at the end and I find it a bit disheartening.

actual sounds and voices: This is an excellent album. Prime Audio Soup was even on the Matrix soundtrack. Acid Again and Hail To The Bopp are probably my favourite tracks, though. I had the Acid Again single, as a matter of fact.

original fire: This is one of the few remix albums that I like (you can include the Perfect Drug single, which Meat Beat Manifesto is on, to that list). There are some really good version of Jack's older works. Helter Skelter is great. There's also an interesting drum version of Asbestos Lead Asbestos. Is it better than the original? No, but it's still cool.

subliminal sandwich: !!!BUY THIS ALBUM!!! This is the best album that MBM has come out with, in my opinion. It's a two-disc set, the first of which is normal songs. The second cd is much more atmospheric and ambient. Nuclear Bomb and Assassinator, with DJ College, will kill your subs. I spent many, MANY hours playing Tomb Raider (the original one and on the computer!!!) to this album, especially She's Unreal.

satyricon: This is another album that I just never really go into. I Rob Bohinc burned this for me and I gave it a couple listens, but I was never captured by it, as I am with some of the other cds. I must say, though, that Circles is a great song.

99%: Here's another album that I didn't fancy too much. It's not just a time period issue, as I loved Armed Audio Warfare, and it's not just the songs, as I loved the remixes, so I don't know what to think.

armed audio warfare: The picture to the right is one of the reprints. I have the original *cough* but I think this cover fits better with the rest. My release has all kinds of printing errors (as do many of the versions of this album. Apparently, the master at one of the labels was lost in a fire so no one knew track listings or names. Hehehe... It's a pretty good release, though. I think it's probably my favourite of the older ones.

storm the studio: This picture is also from a re-release. The original album cover kind of sucks. In it's original form, it was a two-disc set, odd for a debut release. I haven't listened to this album, as I don't have it.
