CD - LEEB, BILL ( Front Line Assembly) - MODEL KOLLAPSE Digipac CD with 16p booklet

Bill Leeb is the Vancouver-based musician and mastermind behind electro-industrial scene

mainstays Front Line Assembly and ambient-pop duo Delerium, as well as a key member

of other occasional recording projects that include Noise Unit, Intermix and Cyberaktif.

'Model Kollapse' marks Leeb's first solo venture since the mid-80s days of Front Line Assembly,
when he began making recordings in his bedroom and released them on limited edition cassette

format.
Almost four decades on, his new album was recorded and produced in Vancouver, Toronto and

Los Angeles with assistance provided by production duo Dream Bullet and long-term FLA/Delerium

cohort Rhys Fulber, plus regular mixing engineer Greg Reely.

Hard-edged yet melodic, danceable and very much song rather than soundscape-driven, the

album carries traces of hard-edged electronic dance music pioneers such as DAF, Front 242

and Skinny Puppy (of whom Leeb was an original member), as well as his own oeuvre.
However, it also displays the influence that acts like these had on latter day artists plus much

of what has in recent years become known as darkwave.

Two tracks on the album feature Shannon and Jason from Canadian Electropop act ACTORS

and 1 track American singer-songwriter Mimi Page, who already collaborated with Bill on his

DELERIUM project.
