Expansion Pack 2.0


Interview:
- Converter: I am a Converter


<< Back


This double cd stuffed full with Converter tracks and remixes is a true sensation for the fans of Converter and power industrial in general. Two years after the release of Expansion Pack 1.3 there now is Expansion Pack 2.0. The track which are compiled on this cd stretch from the period of Shockfront to that of Exit.Ritual. This perfectly reflects the musical development of Converter as an artist. It is also stressed some more that Scott Sturgis is very versatile, musically speaking, since the tracks vary from dark ambient soundscapes to heavy distorted industrial beats. The remix of See Beyond by Displacer has an almost funky rhythm that easily could come from R ’n B music. Broken Fabiola’s remix of Stand Beside Him is deliciously spherical, and this is a world away from the power remix of Converter’s own hands. DJ Burn directly aims for the dancefloor with his fantastic remix of Witch Hunter. Further remixes on this cd come from Rasputin, Architect, Prospero, Sonar and Databomb. Finally, this album contains Monster Death, a remix of the floor smasher Monster. This cd is suitable for the living room as well as clubs, but you should use the tarck selection on your cd player in this case to select the tracks that fit the setting. .Converter is and will be one of the best power industrial acts around.
