I ask because I'm really, REALLY grooving on "Mindphaser" right now and wondering if I'm cheating on "No Limit". Also, I never got around to listening to the eight million albums the released besides _Gashed Senses and Crossfire_ and _Caustic Grip_.

Mindphaser, Iceolate, and whatever the single(s) was/were from Hard Wired.

Now here's a band I think I've yet to see discussed on ILM.....not that I have a great deal to add to the thread beyond that, but still.

Saw them open for Killing Joke in 1991 and they (FLA) were kinda silly. That said, "Vigillante," the opening track on FLA's Millenium album is pretty great....despite the fact that it features a sampled bit of dialogue by Michael Douglas ("I'm an American and you're a Sick Asshole!")

The only one I ever heard was "Iceolate," so I guess I have to go with that.

"Circuitry" was the single from _Hard Wired_, apparently.

FLA are indeed very very silly. I lost track of them after their _FLAvor_of_the Weak_ album, quite possibly the worst title for and album ever. Their better songs were:

Iceolate
Provision
Resist
Tactical Neural Implant
The Blade
Plasticity

The plasticity single's got a good haujobb remix, and the circuitry singles got the biosphere remix which is a nice bit of ambient techno. Their lyrics are hilarious tho, "VIIOLATION! SELF-ANNIHILATION! RE-CREATION! MUUUUTILATION!" but yeah, tactical neural implant is pretty good. Wow they haven't even entered my mind for years. thanks dan!
