Bill has quite a bit of technical talent, no lyrical talent, no musical talent, but god help me i love the guy.

 Equinox - Holon
Leeb releases so much stuff that it'd save me a lot of time and, these days at least, so much of Leeb's output sounds so similar, I could put most of the review in the template and just fill in the minor differences.
Bill first showed symptoms of drum'n'bass on the Noise Unit album Drill, with further signs of the infection on the FLA album Flavour Of The Weak.
It's darker in sound, has a very pronounced Leeb moment and manages to deliver the sort of sound I'd been hoping for - distinctively the work of Leeb/Peterson, and a much less sterile blend of the FLA aesthetic with techno rhythms.

Leeb says that everyone in the group had their own different ideas, and he also wanted to try vocals, so the time was right for him to leave and try something else.
Leeb found working with his former bandmates to be "kind of fun." He says it "was just sort of like rehashing old things, but it was different this time because we were a bit more established."

Bill Leeb has gotta be one of the busiest people in the music industry.
Compiling tracks from Leeb- related bands, Cryogenic Studios is about the tenth Leeb release to have been released this year, prior to a Leeb- involved Frontline Assembly mini-tour of the west coast and more releases to come.
Cryogenic Studios has been packaged as an offering from Frontline Assembly, Bill Leeb, Friends and Company, but in reality, is simply an outlet for Leeb to remix tracks released by his pals.

Bill Leeb, who helped bring integrity and depth to the pop charts a few years ago with the hit 'Silence,' is back with the moving, eloquent 'Chimera'.
As a result Leeb recorded 2000's 'Poem' on his own, while Fulber established a successful venture with the critically acclaimed Conjure One project.
Leeb is the architect behind 'Chimera's' sonically uplifting and diverse soundscape, but, as has always been the case with Delerium, he had plenty of help in bringing his vision to fruition.

To say that Bill Leeb is prolific is a bit like calling the Reverend Jim Jones mischievous.
As for their other projects, Leeb and Peterson vow to continue, but not without shrugging off some of the past.
It certainly shows in the influences Leeb and Peterson cite--obscure experimental outfits like Bourbonese Qualk, Nocturnal Emissions, Portion Control, Nurse with Wound, O Yuki Conjugate, Zoviet France, and Test Dept. "All those guys dared to be different," Leeb says excitedly, adding the more well known EinstÄrzende Neubauten and Throbbing Gristle to the list.

 Delerium: album reviews and ratings
Karma was the last joined effort between Leeb and Fulber, as the latter decided to leave the formation and concentrate on his own work.
"This is a drastic departure from all the previous works of Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber, although it has some references to older material, like older Delerium and some Intermix, though it has very little to do with their main project Front Line Assembly.
Having said that, the album is still reasonably enjoyable, if you can get your head around the fact that Bill Leeb and his trusty sidekick Rhys Fulber have actually re-united to produce such a poppy album in the first place.

 Music Exile - CD Reviews
Bill Leeb shows a lot more range to his singing on this recording than he has before.
Even with all of the slight changes Leeb and Fulber have made to the FLA sound on this CD, it still sounds very much like FLA. And it should since that's what it is. However, some people might feel that the band hasn't changed enough over the years.
I thought that Bill snarled, growled, and shouted his way through his singing career (with the exception of Sado-Masochist), but there is quite a bit of very melodic singing on this disc both with and without a lot of voice modification.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Flavour Of The Weak - Front Line Assembly at Epinions.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
While not as consistent as their Canadian brethren Skinny Puppy (Bill Leeb, half of FLA, was an early member of that ground-breaking group), when FLA hits one of their plateaus, they're hard to beat.
The music falls into an echo tunnel, Leeb whispers, and, swollen, the beat stops and restarts again, breathing harder against Leeb's voice until both are obscured and restless.
Halfway in, Leeb starts relaying something to the listener, but he is so processed -- the beat starting to flow backwards, everything clipping -- you never know what it is. With his last obscure pronouncement in your ears, the song growing uglier and sicklier, the disc ends.

 Front Line Assembly - Re-Wind
While I enjoyed that album a lot, and found Leeb's newly electronica-influenced direction to be at least reasonably interesting, it lacked the depth and impact of FLA at its best.
It's as though Leeb and Peterson have reversed direction, headed back to just before Flavour Of The Weak and taken the tracks in a direction that's got a lot more in common with what came before.
OK, so this isn't Leeb's lyrical peak (has he ever had one?) and lyrics such as "Antihero/Lives in a can" makes you wonder exactly what Bill was on at the time (or whether he creates lyrics by pulling words out of a hat).

 Willamette Week| Music
Bill Leeb may see the light with side project Delerium, but his Front Line Assembly is as dark as ever.
And while the piercing dental-drill disco of Front Line Assembly is still Leeb's primary preoccupation and emotional outlet, one of his secondary projects--Delerium--is actually his most commercially successful.
Then there is Leeb's fascination with buying the "latest and greatest kind of gear," despite his synthetically mangled lyrics about the danger of being seduced by science, especially high-tech military hardware.

 Blogcritics.org: Front Line Assembled
Bill Leeb and ofttime partner Rhys Fulber have been remarkably consistent innovators with electronic music of every hue: from tribal ambient music in the guise of Delerium, to the traditional techno of Intermix, to the bone-crunching industrial of Front Line Assembly and Noise Unit, Leeb and Fulber have pushed barriers and created excellent music.
Leeb and his friends cEvin Key and Ogre (Kevin Ogilvie) formed Skinny Puppy as a loud electronic alternative to what they felt to be the insipid popular music of the early-'80s.
Leeb and Fulber continue to deliver the goods as they roll through various permutations of electronic music; from the early pre-sampler days with primitive drum machines and analog synths, to the cutting-edge digital present, they have made music for the love of creating it.
