The Fair Sex - Drop your Anxiety
The Fair Sex - Drop your Anxiety
The Fair Sex returns with a brand new release, not new album, titled Drop your Anxiety which is all about remixing old songs. To give a brief introduction to the whole, The Fair Sex used to be one of the pioneers of the gothic rock scene, and I say gothic rock due their heavy guitar rigs that were established back in the 80's. To my ears Drop your Anxiety is a necessary release of an old band who wishes to follow up with today's sound. Not that I necessarily agree with such an action but when the outcome is worth listening then I have no problem with it. All the remixes moves under an electronic overall feeling and if you are familiar with the old songs then it is more than obvious what they are trying to achieve through this, with the ebm feeling dominating and the guitar characteristics having a secondary word to the whole. Most people will love this and especially dj's but people who support the old sound will get disappointed for either the end result or the fact that they changed the sound in order to follow up. In summary, I enjoyed the listen a lot and this release is already a collectors item but I am sure that THE FAIR SEX fans will stick up with the original work. - John Gedeon "Vassago", The Enochian Apocalypse e-zine
