Music

The album partially consists of tracks from Consenting Guinea Pig by T.H.C. [3] and The True Creator by D!v!s!on #9 [4] that have been remixed by the band. [5] [6] An edited version of the track "reINVENTiNG SLEEP" (electroBODYmixx) titled "reInventing sLeep" (electroBodyedit) appeared on Awake the Machines - On the Line Vol. 2 by Out of Line and Sub/Mission Records. [7]

Reception

The online magazine Sonic Boom had previously reviewed T.H.C.'s Consenting Guinea Pig and D!v!s!on #9's The True Creator , accusing the former for being "nothing altogether new or innovative" [8] and the latter's "bland bass and percussion" of transforming the album into a "common collection of insipidly derivative material." [9] Sonic Boom wrote a negative review for reINVENTION opERATION as well and said "in essence this eclectic collection of Drum'n'Bass, Trance, and other more experimental beat driven electronics, is no more than regurgitated music." [10]
