There are few Electro-pioneers of the first wave that are still active and successful. Belgian artist Dirk Ivens is one of them, inspiring a lot of acts to follow in the past three decades – be it as part of Absolute Body Control, The Klinik or Sonar, or with his solo project DIVE. Therefore, an 8-CD box set containing the entire back catalogue of his one man project, from 1990 until now, is destined to stir up some waves. It contains all official releases, many of them deleted for a good number of years and therefore highly collectible (and pricey) rarities, bundled in a lavish box set in book form, hand-numbered and limited to 1000 copies, with a classy photo booklet that contains many previously unseen photos.
Next to all the classics, like the self-titled debut album, “Concrete Jungle”, “Snakedressed” and all EPs, among them the extremely rare “Images” and “Extended Play”, there are stylistically versatile collaborations with Kirlian Camera, Jean-Luc de Meyer (Front 242), Controlled Bleeding and Diskonnekted, plus remixes from Combichrist, Numb, Die Krupps or Leætherstrip. Rounding off this massive package and making it all the more exclusive and indispensable is a bonus disc containing previously unreleased live material, cover versions and remixes. 148 tracks on 8 CDs – a legendary box set for a legend!
