Exclusive stream re-release Front Line Assembly album ‘FLAvour of the Weak’ + available as 3X 2LP vinyl set – get it here
Front Line Assembly followed-up “Hard Wired” in 1997 with “FLAvour of the Weak”, a sample-laden record that spawned two singles and remixes from the likes of Tim Schuldt and Eat Static. The album was a departure from Front Line Assembly’s previous sound, incorporating elements of drum ‘n’ bass, techno, and IDM.
Artoffact Records now reissues a remastered “FLAvour of the Weak”, including 3 bonus tracks taken from the “Colombian Necktie” single. The double vinyl is packaged in a gatefold sleeve, with a special silver metallic ink underlay that accentuates the original Dave McKean art. Pre-orders are taken right now.
100 copies will be made on special ultra-clear base with grey-silver splatters (sold out already), 150 copies on clear yellow (you can buy those here) and there’s also a black vinyl edition (you can buy those here). You can also get all 3 in one go via this link and in that last package you also get the now sold out ultra-clear base vinyl with grey-silver splatters.
Listen to the remastered version of “FLAvour of the Weak”.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
