Music
Continuum comprises remastered tracks and remixes from Mentallo & The Fixer's recording sessions circa 1990 to 1993. The collection also draws from the band's first two releases, 1991's Wreckage + Ruin + & + Regrets + (Redemption) and 1992's No Rest for the Wicked.[5][6][4]
On February 16, 2018 the album was issued as a music download by Alfa Matrix on the label's Bandcamp.[7][8][4]
Reception
Sonic Boom was somewhat positive towards Continuum, calling the album "more of a greatest hits & misses compilation released so that the fans might have an idea of where the band has come from musically" and that "some tracks have the distinct MATF feel to them and others are quite unlike anything else they have ever written before."[6]
