This track is so far ahead of its time it's not funny. I remember picking up the single at the merch table during the Hardwired Tour and I couldn't believe my ears when I popped the CD in my player on my way home. All hail producer Greg Reely for the vocal processing! Without Greg, FLA would've been a shadow of what they are now. He produced all their albums from Caustic Grip forward, except for Flavour of the Weak (he called that a mistake), and every Delerium album starting with Semantic Spaces and he produced/mixed a couple of Noise Unit albums too. For a while he was their front of house mixer as well for the FLA/Delerium tours, and I talked to him twice after the shows. He's a super nice guy and he actually let me help him pack up his processing gear at the FLA show in D.C.
@@RY30DM I had a one off Noise Unit tee shirt printed back in 1996 or 97 when websites doing that shit barely existed, I felt so futuristic at the time lol 👽🤖👽🤖
Gotta love those Timecop samples!!! Fuck, I got a speeding ticket listening to this in october 2004. 165km/h in a 90 zone. The officer approached and this was blaring out my my Saturn. He said "ok, i kinda get it" let me off with a 52 dollar ticket, no points. Since then i called it my driving song. Front Line always delivers!!!!!
I watched TimeCop last night, on Tubi. I recognized sound effects used in a song. I wakeup this morning, and realized/remembered, that it was FLA's Plasticity. It's been so many years since I last listened to this song. Such an awesome track, brings me back to the early 2000's, when I first heard it at a party.
The original version of this video (without the action clips, just the CGI and Bill and Rhys) won a MuchMusic Video Award in 1996. (They performed Millennium that year on the same as well.) I thought it had but I'd forgotten the year.
Yo tambien lo escuche en los 98 gracias a un amigo mayor amador de tecno industrial espectacular me conto que una vical tambienes la misma que ponen en timecop un filme de van dame s
Fear, fills your heart Rip, rip out your lungs Burn, burning your soul Conception is still unknown Hostile, hostile reaction Dangerous, dangerous retraction Smoke, smoke in your knees Feel, feeling disease (I'm not insane, do you hear me, I'm not insane) Hostile, hostile reaction Dangerous, dangerous retraction The laws of nature The laws of man This volatile paradox Will never stand The laws of nature The laws of man This volatile paradox Will never stand Silence starts the rage Illusion, illusions in vain Existence, existence grows still Shadow, shadow I kill Hostile, hostile reaction Dangerous, dangerous retraction The laws of nature The laws of man This volatile paradox Will never stand The laws of nature The laws of man This volatile paradox Will never stand This volatile paradox Will never stand Release, release your pain
Does it matter if they do? They posted it for us for easy access for those who do "understand".. (dont be claiming "self importance via brief understanding" (it means to us how it does.. things may hit harder in ways the band didn't expect, thus selling copies in unexpected ways.. dont be so ignorant..)
@@bassault ah, then I'm sorry, the problem with writing is you dont get "voice tone" behind you (sarcasm can seem like stupidity etc etc) The internet is such a negative "ego" place sadly.. but take it what it means to you my friend, all songs are sang with reasons of our own =) if it hits hard with you theres a reason for it, like poetry is subjective (sorry about the misunderstanding my friend, take care)
The most demonic-sounding FLA song. This is how demon disco in hell would sound like 💀 There is actually a stock sound 0:15, which also was used as sound for Unmaker in some Doom mods, I think that's why it feels so demonic for me.
I remember the video for this from a local cable-access show. From 2am theyd play all the obscure, requests and goid videos from big acts. Im curious, this was just a stand alone single? Not much write-up anywhere.
I actually remember being on FLA's website in the section where they're describing the music video, and it said something like "a very angry-looking Bill Leeb and Rhys looking somewhat stoned." :P
"Rhys, it's your turn to be in the video" "But I don't waaaaannaaaaaa..." "Okay look can you just sit still for like, 20 seconds, for one shot?" "Fiiiiiine.."
![Front Line Assembly - Maniacal [single version]](/img/n.gif)
The best FLA song hands down.
It's really good, but Implode has some really good stuff.
One level for me with Provision
@@te9591fuck yeah it does! Implode is their masterwork!
This is more in the future than 2020 industrial. This kills it!

@@RY30DM Flavour of the Weak is an excellent mistake i might say.
@@RY30DM It sounds a lot like 2000’s aggrotech/hellektro so it was certainly ahead of its time
Can't get any better than the prolific Bill Leeb. A musical genius since the 80's
A dancefloor favourite back in 1996 in Birmingham, England.
Contamination Club, Death Machine at Edwards No8.. Good Times...!
@@ablacktidedrowning That's the one, legendary times indeed !

This video was a hidden as an AVI file on their CD as a data portion at the end of the DISC :)

Gracias por compartir
Fear, fills your heart
Rip, rip out your lungs
Burn, burning your soul
Conception is still unknown
Hostile, hostile reaction
Dangerous, dangerous retraction
Smoke, smoke in your knees
Feel, feeling disease
(I'm not insane, do you hear me, I'm not insane)
Hostile, hostile reaction
Dangerous, dangerous retraction
The laws of nature
The laws of man
This volatile paradox
Will never stand
The laws of nature
The laws of man
This volatile paradox
Will never stand
Silence starts the rage
Illusion, illusions in vain
Existence, existence grows still
Shadow, shadow I kill
Hostile, hostile reaction
Dangerous, dangerous retraction
The laws of nature
The laws of man
This volatile paradox
Will never stand
The laws of nature
The laws of man
This volatile paradox
Will never stand
This volatile paradox
Will never stand
Release, release your pain
Do you have any idea what these lyrics are talking about?

@@chrislong2807 I guess my original comment seemed really rude, but I actually wanted to know the meaning behind the lyrics.

The internet is such a negative "ego" place sadly.. but take it what it means to you my friend, all songs are sang with reasons of our own =) if it hits hard with you theres a reason for it, like poetry is subjective (sorry about the misunderstanding my friend, take care)
Badass song

This is not Gothic... this is EBM - Electronic Body Music! ;-)
Video Compilation VA - Gothic Industrial Madness
This is Industrial..
Video Compilation VA - Gothic Industrial Madness
She’s not referring about the music style, she’s just saying that this song appears on the video compilation Gothic Industrial Madness.
@evilrobotsantaclaus werewolf is gothic
There is a sample of iAm not insane on Global Entity (waqt) track ,Net Psycho.

Yes. It’s a single.
I’ve seen them play this live.
neverending....

da war die tanzfläche richtig voll!
I like his normal voice not his robot voice music is good 👍🏻 I like Front 242 more 😉
Rhys just looks like he smoked a fat one throughout the video. In the most chilled out way, of course.
I actually remember being on FLA's website in the section where they're describing the music video, and it said something like "a very angry-looking Bill Leeb and Rhys looking somewhat stoned." :P
@@CryonicCrusader Ha ha! That’s a perfect description!

Canadian industrial was easily on par with German industrial...i love KMFDM but we got Skinny Puppy and Front Line
I'm not insane I'm not insane 🤣
How much force and form does it take to fix the volatile? As much as is necessary. To be solid may be worth it.
It takes a volatile spleen... for those in the know and remember.
