Very nice, cheaply priced compo of some of the top bands in the industrial/EBM/goth field. I’m guilty but I skipped on to the Ikon track," Heresy", given how big of an Ikon fan I am. They are simply the one band that gives Australia any merit in the music world (well them, Leviathon and Snog). The new track may be not yet fully produced but it is a strong indicator of yet another majestic, old school goth masterpiece by the seminal group. I was supposed to do an interview with them but I think they either dropped off the earth or forgot me. Highlights on this CD are Morthem Vlade Art’s "Splendor In The Grass" (reminds me of latter day Gary Numan vocally), Sabotage’s "Beat Up" (reminds me of an industrialized Souixie and The Banshees), Ikon’s "Heresy" (but of course), and 8KhZ Mono’s "Frequency" (reminds me a bit of X Marks The Pedwalk). Only bad points are In The Nursery’s cover of (take a guess!) Joy Division’s "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and Ophelia Burning. In the Nursery as usual is great on the track but the annoyance stems from the overcovering of the song by every band under the sun. They do it great but that shadow cannot be escaped. Why has no one covered "The Eternal"!??! Ophelia Burning is great until the chorus where the girl just bellows Cranberries style, otherwise I hear they are pretty good. The rest of the song is solid though, just the bellowing chorus needs to go. Nice little intro for those new to the scene and for current fans. Rating: 9
