What EBM should sound like

"Only once in a while do you hear a tribute that's so good it's almost embarrassing for the original artist, and this is one! Kromor and XP8 injected these Nitzer Ebb classics with intense growling basslines and weapons-grade percussion that triggered little orgasms in my auditory cortex. These tracks stimulate the dancefloor neurons directly, bypassing all conscious thought processes. They're simple, in-your-face and loud as a Soviet tractor engine; hard and dark but still dynamic, fluid and seductive. Play this CD in your car when driving to a club, or in your bedroom for a wild romp with a platform-booted señorita. I got very conclusive results.
The production is very similar to that of Northborne's Force It, another recent project by former Icon of Coil member Christian Lund, also highly recommended.
Join in the chant!"

"Though some will consider my words blasphemy, I think NE's first two EP's are only okay and they began to really show their talent with Showtime and just got better after that. I like these covers of the releases from That Total Age much better than the originals, and I find the covers of Control I'm Here interesting. Toohill's vocals are great and match the music quite well. Only 4 stars for not enough variety in songs."
Mediocre Tribute

"Nothing really new jumps out of this collection. If anything, this tribute album brings nothing to the table, lacking the original spark and fire of NE. The other reviewer is under the mistaken assumption that one of the members of NE is German but isn't. (They are British.)"
