This compilation really surprised me. I knew it would be good, but I did not know how eclectic it would be. Genres from goth-industrial to noise to dub and more are represented. I would say that 3-4 tracks really stand out above the rest and I find myself flipping around my cd until I hit these tracks. Remixing "Storm The Studio", one of the greatest industrial albums ever, is a tall order-- I have to admire the courage of these artists as a group, and the great proficiency of several of them.

Initially this remix (or re-intrepretation) album sounded really promising, the opening MBM/DHS track "Cease To Exist" includes vocoder elements of several of the original album's tracks, but effectively is a new MBM track. The next remix of God OD is also very creative, if a little stop-start, including vocal loops to remind you how good the originals were! But things are very inconsistent on this set - where the originals had real raw energy and excitement the majority of these reworks have replaced this with something far less exhilarating - which is a real pity (and a wasted opportunity). For some reason most mixes are either versions of God OD or of a track that didn't actually exist (Storm the Studio), in which case it's some take on God OD but with the STS vocal sample used instead of any lyrics. There is only one version of I Got The Fear (which is a strong revamp) and none that credit StrapDown atall - although elements of the track are heard in some of the so-called mixes of STS, so presumably these are often more a 'medley remix' rather than one track. All in all it has some high points, but not enough Dangers lyrics or consistency to outshine the originals. Get the original as reissued on CD first (it's newly remastered) if you want to get the adrenaline pumping - then get this if you want something more chilled-out and derivative!
