Review for:Plasticity (single)1996 Metropolis Records  Review by Jonathan RatcliffeThis single is a must-have for any FLA fan (even the casual ones). Plasticity is absolutely one of the best FLA tracks that I have in my collection, and the two tracks following it are very good as well. Worth a purchase, most definitely, but I still don't know where Plasticity came from originally. Was it on one of their albums? Plasticity (6:44)  I've love this track so much and I've heard it so many times that I don't need to even hear it to give it an accurate review. This song simply has so many layers of sound that it's a treat to the ears each time you hear it. It's very fast (probably their fastest song ever), and the drums are so wild that I so no way that an actual person could play them live (although they tried and did a decent job for their Live Wired tour). This track is very large and powerful. Every FLA fan that I've talked to loves this track. Definitely worth the price just for this track, and the others are a treat as well. Replicant (5:11) This track begins with sound strange samples, but after a bit it picks up into some classic FLA material. Being created shortly after Hard Wired, it follows that style to some extent. The lyrics speak of cloning, and remind me of the classic cyber flick, "Bladerunner". Rumor has it that this track was inspired by the film. Definitely a favorite, and an excellent companion to "Plasticity". Plasticity ("Zero" by Haujobb) (7:04) This track takes the original Plasticity and distorts the vocals quite a bit, along with the synths and the pounding beats. It's an excellent mix, and sounds quite a bit different from the original "Plasticity". A very good listen.
