A Collection of Rare,Unreleased &Remastered is the compilation album by Mentallo &The Fixer,released on April 27,2012,by Alfa Matrix. [1] [2]
In reviewing A Collection of Rare,Unreleased &Remastered,Peter Marks of Brutal Resonance criticized the music for not aging well but acknowledged that he preferred the albums Mentallo &The Fixer produced after Dwayne Dassing departed from the band. [3] Lollipop Magazine stated "Texan electro-industrial act Mentallo &The Fixer has been at it for a while,and that knowledge shows on the lean,effective "decomposed (spent)." [4] [5] Peek-A-Boo Magazine criticized the collection for being excessive,saying "slimming it down to three or even two cd's would have been possible,maybe even with a few free downloads of remixes/reworked songs." [6]
All tracks are written by Dwayne Dassing and Gary Dassing, except where noted.
