"I got this disc about a week ago and have really been enjoying it!! Even though I already had tracks 5, 8, 10 & 11, which were previously released in a limited 12" series issued through NovaMute in the UK (2001-2004), I have been eagerly awaiting this album. And the new mixes did not disappoint. I love what Black Strobe have done with "Getting Closer" and I am especially enjoying the Motor Remix of "Lightning Man", Dubfire's Jamrock Remix of "Control (I'm Here)" and Xpress 2's take on "Join in the Chant". The only criticism I have is that the LFO Remix of "Control (I'm Here)", which was also part of the aforementioned 12" series, was not included. It is by far my favorite of this new batch of remixes and I would have loved to hear it in CD clarity. Track it down if you can! I have been a fan and avid collector of Nitzer Ebb's music ever since I heard "Murderous" waaaaay back in '87 - wow, I'm so old! - and hearing these old favorites revisited & revitalized has been a real treat. Yes, the import price is a bit steep, so look for a used copy, though either way I highly recommend this album. And to those who say EBM is dead I say "Shut up & listen!" :)"

"Don't bother. There are a couple of good tracks but most are either boring or downright annoying. Of all the 12" singles, CD singles, and EP's that I have, and Muscle and Hate, this is the worst. Did I say don't bother? What I meant was that this thing is a waste of time and money. Only people who collect things that have "Nitzer Ebb" printed on them would want this. You sure shouldn't get it for the music."
