[edit] Background
According to Jeremy Inkel, "Electric Dreams" and "Unconscious" are songs that were originally meant for the Artificial Soldier album, but left unfinished until after.[3]
[edit] Release
Fallout was released in April 2007.[4] The band toured North America and Europe in support of its release.[4]
[edit] Critical reception
David Jeffries called Fallout "one of the better odds and ends collections in FLA's catalog."[2] Remarking on individual songs, he stated, "Sebastian R. Komor (Icon of Coil) makes "Unleashed" sound absolutely epic",[2] and called Portion Control's "Lowlife" remix both "creepy and sinister"[2] and the "most difficult and rewarding remix".[2]
In his review, Peter Marks said of the album, "The results are mixed",[1] calling the "Unleashed" remix "not very impressive".[1] He was positive about the Portion Control "Lowlife" remix, saying "Their version of "Lowlife" goes places FLA never would, or for that matter could."[1] About the mix of "Lowlife" renamed "Reprobate", he said that "production master Greg Reely gives his version... a potent, malicious bent".[1]
