Tracklist:

“Surface” * “What Is Left to Say” (Club Edit) * “Surface” (Club Version) * “Surface (Under the Surface Remix by Scandy) * “Surface” (Sebastian Komor Remix) * “Surface” (Shok’s Zeitmahl Remix) * “Surface” (Pull Out Kings Remix) * “Surface” (Rotersand Rework)

Order Imperative Reaction’s “Surface” single release (CD, digital) from Metropolis Records here | Watch the “Surface” official video after the jump.

A limited edition of 200 “Surface” box sets are available from the band directly (link). The box sets include the CD, a poster, a t-shirt, a pin, a patch, postcards and stickers. Each box is hand numbered and autographed by the band.

About Imperative Reaction’s “Surface”:

Los Angeles based Imperative Reaction returns with the new single “Surface”. The new single features two new songs and remixes from artists Sebastian Komor, Scandy, Rotersand, Shok and The Pull Out Kings. “Surface” and the b-side “What Is Left To Say” (Club Edit) show Imperative Reaction’s mastermind Ted Phelps further refining his now signature sound. Catchy hooks and driving rhythms blend with intensely personal lyrics and anthem-like choruses, turning “Surface” into a cathartic musical experience and an intriguing hint as to what Imperative Reaction have in store for the next album. (source).

Imperative Reaction – “Surface” – Viva Music review:

“Surface” is in its raw version a recipe for success. A very upbeat, high energy track, it brings out a new gust of creative power from Imperative Reaction. A well-rounded, powerful track released the year the band celebrate their first 15 years, it is also the first single release from the forthcoming, homonymous album from Imperative Reaction scheduled for September, 13! The forthcoming album is in Ted Phelps’s words, “our defining album”, and it showcases an evolved sound, that combines the band’s explosive live show with the precise, electronic anthems Imperative Reaction have built a name on. “Surface” is indeed a great teaser and an awesome preview, and so are the single’s remixes and versions from the single release.

Dear Amphi fans,

Thank you for a fantastic weekend at the Tanzbrunnen, Cologne! Sold out for the second time in the six year history of the festival, 16.000 visitors from Germany and countries worldwide gathered in Cologne on 24. & 25. July 2010, to have a peaceful celebration in high spirits with 37 artists on three stages.

While And One and VNV Nation inspired the audience as headliners on the main stage, the “Staatenhaus” presented a true summit of the industrial- and electrolegends, featuring Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly and Project Pitchfork. Further ASP, Eisbrecher, Blutengel, Combichrist and many other Top Acts of the scene enthralled the audience with outstanding performances. Each day at noon the “Theater am Tanzbrunnen” opened with interesting talks, readings, musical comedy, film screenings and much more, before the party-area took command of the evening with more than 20 DJ´s from all over the world.
