20 years ago, the album Failure provided Assemblage 23 with their international breakthrough. Since then, tracks like „Awake“, „Disappoint“ and „Naked“ have become indispensable to (lovers of) electronic music.
Many music fans, DJs and journalists had already fallen in love with Assemblage 23’s debut „Contempt“, but when „Failure“ was released in 2001, it turned out to be a seminal work that no aficionado of electronic music could overlook.
Reason enough for a re-release as special 20th anniversary edition. As could be expected, mastermind Tom Shear took the chance to provide all the tracks with a fresh new mix – and to compile a bonus CD with remixes that are really worth a listen. With their contribution, top class artists such as Suicide Commando, Clan Of Xymox, Rotersand, Daniel Myer or P. Codenys of Front 242 show their respects to this milestone album.
The bottom line: This double digipak album is a must for every fan … and even more so for everyone who missed out on Failure on its original release!
