"[VAC] - Bryan Ericson's PREVIOUS release "Hex Angel" was a bit of a disappointment for me, so when i had heard that he was releasing a set of chronological CD's I was very interested and picked up Between the Eyes Vol. 1 the day it came into my local record shop, I put it in my cd player, and i was utterly blown away, this album is top notch in mastering quality, every song hits you again and again with it's dancey feel, i almost want to compare it to "Fun with Drugs" in the terms of listening ability, you can seriously rock this album a zillion times and it doesn't get hold, these two previous reviewers must be ÜBER critical of Music, because these remixes, ect, are only avaliable on his single cds, which aren't worth buying now that this is out, and even if you have heard this via pirating music, it DOES NOT COMPARE TO CD QUALITY ! I'm a HUGE fan of Industrial Music, in all shapes forms and sizes, and i've been a long time fan of [VAC] since Church of Acid, and i would most definetally recommend this to a hardcore [VAC] fan, or even someone who's just getting into them for that matter, it's an awsome place to start. Between the Eyes Vol. 1 is in my opinion a very good compenstaion for "Hex Angel" which i don't believe carried itself too well. With unreleased tracks that you CANNOT find on singles such as *Murder the World* and *So Much* this album and it's 13 tracks are just begging to be picked up ! -Also Side Note : As stated Earlier Amazon's Pictorial Of The CD Is Infact Incorrect. [ That's The Hex Angel Album ] =P"

For anyone that missed out on VAC's older singles

"Between The Eyes V.1 is a collection of VAC's remixes and rare b-sides from past singles. Most of the tracks on here are either instrumental club mixes or experimental takes on older songs...you get the idea. As a result, this collection is really only meant as a convenient way for hardcore fans/DJs to get their hands on some harder to find material. Very few of the songs hold their own compared to the refined sound found on VAC's full albums, so it's not the place to start for new fans. For those of you looking for an example of VAC's best work, I recommend getting either Calling Ov The Dead or Fun With Knives instead.Just to clear up any confusion, the art shown on amazon.com's website for this CD is incorrect. The art that is currently displayed is for the domestic version of the album Hex Angel."
