IAMX - IAMIXED: Reworks Fault Lines Album 1 And 2 [CD]

A high-contrast, "offworld" reimagining of the Fault Lines saga.

Originally surfacing as a sought-after tour exclusive, IAMIXED is a "promethean" collection of reworks and transformations based on the Fault Lines 1 and 2 recording sessions. In the singular IAMX musical cosmos, a rework is never a mere remix; it is a high-fidelity deconstruction—a strategy to find new "hand-crafted" beauty within the existing architectural cracks of Chris Corner’s compositions. This release captures the project in a state of high-speed evolution, turning the aggressive industrial-lite pulse of the original albums into something more atmospheric, visceral, and "strange and mesmerizing."

The record serves as a precision-fed matrix of sound, blending sleek, futuristic synthesis with the raw, cinematic oratory that defines the IAMX legacy. By stripping back or augmenting the "fault lines" of the original tracks, Corner creates a work of intense atmospheric tension that highlights the "beauty of dissonance." It is a document of creative thrust, offering a "pure" and uncompromising look at how these songs live and breathe outside of their primary studio incarnations.
