"First off. I'm going to explain to everyone that yes, this is the illusionist Criss Angel doing music! He's not just an illusionist! He's made several CDs in the past, infact. Most of which are hard to find in their original form, and are no longer available.



(i.e. - The "System Trilogy" set. Which was re-released, and is now being sold on CA's official website with bonus tracks. But the original versions, are long out of print. And were originally released under the band name, "Angeldust" back in 1998, on a single selftitled CD.)



With that said...



This is quite possibly, the best compilation of songs by Criss Angel, from his MINDREAK TV Series, and from his (not so known of) System Trilogy CDs.



It contains songs from all 3 System Trilogy CDs, along with the ever-popular MINDFREAK theme, which comes in 6 versions, on this soundtrack. And might I say, the FULL version of the song (along with version 2 of it) found at the begining of the soundtrack, is way cool! If you thought the "snipit" of it, during the intro of the show itself was awesome, wait till you hear the full entire 4 minute version of it!



You'll love it!



But even the ever-popular theme (and it's multitude of mixes), is not why I purchased this soundtrack. I (for the most part) purchased the MINDFREAK (TV Series) Soundtrack, because of the System Trilogy tracks, on it!



The track "Down" is quite possibly one of THE BEST songs by Criss Angel i've ever heard in my life, and is def. one of THE BEST songs on this disc, hands-down. And that one song alone I believe is worth the asking price for this disc. The "MINDFREAK" versions and remixes, being a bonus treat, in my opinion.



If you're a fan of Metal, Industrial, or Rock. Or simply absolutely love Criss Angel, Jonathan Davis (of Korn), Klayton (of Celldweller), Sully (of Godsmack), or Nuno (of DramaGods).



Get this CD!



It's a good compilation of both old and new Criss Angel. And quite a good look into the MUSICAL aspect of Criss Angel, for those whom didn't know he was a musical artist, as well.



Best tracks (in my opinion) are:



01 - DOWN

02 - MINDFREAK V1 & V2

03 - COME ALIVE



Get it. You just might enjoy it."

Loved it

"I gave it a 5 because I thought I got my money's worth. There were a lot of songs that stood out for me and I listened to it all the way through twice when I got it. Obviously this is a must have if you've seen the show and dug the music that was being played on it. The dvd and artwork is also pretty cool."

Great, but not excellent...

"Ah, Criss Angel. What an illustrious career this talented fellow has had. A relative unknown with a broadway show has become a national celebrity (at least in my eyes...). His excellent television show, Criss Angel Mindfreak (Season 1 on DVD now, go get it!) hooked viewers, and now his music is reaching a broader audience with the release of Mindfreak the Soundtrack. Now, for those of you who have heard some of Criss's other music, you know that you either love it or hate it. This CD is no exception. While it doesn't contain some of his greatest songs (Scarecrow comes to mind), it does have some true masterpieces like Come Alive and, of course, Mindfreak. Now to address the issue of exactly what kind of music this really is, for those of you trying to guess. I would say it's industrial techno, though there are bits and pieces of metal and goth thrown in. Nonetheless, it is a good, nay, great album, but it could leave some doubt for you hardcore fans out there (you know who you are...)"
