This CD is an American version of "Metal Rhythm" where IRS salted the effort with a few tracks from "Berserker" which had not seen the light of day in the US yet. The overall thrust is a step away from the more vital albums he had just made for his own label. The program here sounds a tad influenced by his former collaborator Robert Palmer. The opener, "This Is Emotion," sounds more than a little like "Addicted to Love!" "Cold Metal Rhythm " and "New Anger" provide the best tracks here, apart from the brilliant "My Dying Machine" remix by William Orbit! The latter track really shows up the lesser material here, big time. The mix by Orbit is one of his typically stellar technological workouts. "Voix" and "America" provide a strong enough ending but on the whole, this album sounds either like boredom setting in or that IRS was meddling with the sauce. The latter is more probable at this point.
