5 Man Job Explained
5 Man Job is a remix album by Penal Colony, released in July 1995 by Cleopatra Records.[3] [4] The album comprises remixed versions of tracks from Put Your Hands Down, with contributions from Frontline Assembly's Bill Leeb, Genesis P Orridge, Leather Strip, Spahn Ranch's Matt Green, and T.H.D.[5] [6]
Reception
Aiding & Abetting commended 5 Man Job for its experimentation and variety.[7] Sonic Boom claimed the material sounded too removed from Penal Colony's former sound, saying "I couldn't help but wonder where the band is among all the music" and "this may seem a bit harsh, but the remixes don't sound anything alike, even when it's the same track, the music totally originates from the band mixing the track."[8] [9]
