Album Review

This is certainly an interesting compilation. It lingers through some hard 4/4 beats, has some reflective, relatively speaking, moments and it ends up with a rather humorous version of ‘Daddy Cool’. And though the genre is Electro/ Industrial you get a peculiarly disconnected feeling due to the arrangement of the songs and not because of the songs or the band themselves, in fact the opposite is true. You get this vibe of the sequencing working against the compilation especially after COMBICHRIST’s ‘Gimme Deathrace’ while the pedal is on the metal FUNKER VOGT’s brilliant ‘Hard Way’ is actually used to slow down a bit the pace of the CD. Things accelerate once more with AGONOIZE, they keep some rhythm with SOLITARY EXPERIMENTS in order to slow down with BLUTENGEL. Then it comes to TOO YOUNG TO DIE probably the weakest band of the whole CD (there’s something that borders to farcical with this one). Yet the low ebb is overturned by THE KLINIK and the bands that follow. Overall, the good songs save the day and it is does offer a way to keep up with some of the latest releases.
