Even though are widely respected and damn near legendary in the industrial music scene, KMFDM is one of those groups that will never break the mainstream. Their latest release, a six- track remix disc titled MDFMK, is one of the best recent albums of the genre, but it will never get the airplay it deserves.

Self- proclaimed "industrial terrorists," KMFDM plays up their comparisons to Ministry, Skinny Puppy, and even Sisters of Mercy, by combining their characteristic new- wave guitar riffs with deep, brooding vocals, elements made popular by the original dark- siders in the early- to- mid 1980s.

Remixes of songs like "Anarchy," "Megalomaniac" and "Unfit" are even more driving and powerful than the stuff we're used to hearing from KMFDM. At times, the remixes also reveal more of a passion for experimentation. But the best attribute KMFDM exercises on the record is that they cover both sides of the aisle, whether it be thrashing a guitar or busting a move. After all, even the best industrial rock song loses some of its luster if you can't dance to it.
