THE BEST OF GIRLS UNDER GLASS IS A GOTHIC INDUSTRIAL MASTERP

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Girls Under Glass's new album from Van Richter Records

is a compilation of their previous work (9 Albums),

but now availiable to a North American audience, with

a few extra bonus tracks, including three covers, the

movie theme for Halloween, Simple Mind's "New Gold

Dream", and DAF's "Der Mussolini". A combination of

Industrial and Gothic Rock, Girls Under Glass offer a

slightly different twist and the result is quite good.

I'm not a fan of Goth Rock (like Sisters of Mercy,

etc.), but with the addition of a more Industrial

feel, my problems are eased. This album contains a few

covers, besides the ones mentioned above, there is

also a cover of Gary Numan's Down In The Park. There

are also remixes by Die Krupps, and a remix by Sascha

Konietzko and En Esch of KMFDM. My only problem is

with their more ballad like songs ("Reach for the

stars" (track 13) for example, whose inspirational

message also bugs me a bit), but maybe this is just my

problem. I realized recently that I don't think I like

ballads. With 17 Tracks in total, this CD will give

you a good overview of what GUG is all about"
