3.0 out of 5 stars
Another Cleo box set - at least it's fairly inexpensive, November 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Bible (Audio CD)
Whenever Cleopatra puts out a box set it's rush, rush, rush to get it - and with this one it's snore, snore, snore as you try to find good tracks. Although the overall box set is well put together, the "exclusive" and "first time on CD" labels are misleading. Most of the tracks are well known, though the mixes are not the typical ones encountered. Unfortunately - these variations are often not up to the more popular and commonly accessible versions of the tracks. Good groups, ok music. Fair price given how expensive The Goth Box and some other Cleopatra box sets have been in recent history. PS to Cleopatra - if you want to include Industrial in a box set like this, you may want to aim for more than six tracks of it. Anyone who picks this up for a solid industrial gothic mixture of music stands a fair chance of disappointment.

The best I've heard (Goth 101), September 24, 1999
This review is from: Black Bible (Audio CD)
I can't believe that anyone would bad mouth this compilation! One reviwer says that Cleopatra Records just pumps out compilation with no regard for quality. Clearly they didn't see the booklet included in the box set. It's packed with photos and info about each band and it's track. This is the greatest "goth starter" package available. Each disk covers one of the four corners of "Goth". IT'S GOTH 101!

5.0 out of 5 stars
fine compilation of Goth and industrial music, June 7, 2005
This review is from: Black Bible (Audio CD)
I suppose it's difficult to please fans of Goth, who tend to look on the gloomy side of things by definition, but I think this collection is very good! There are four CDs in a nice case and the extensive liner notes are quite informative and entertaining.
Here you'll find cuts from Alien Sex Fiend, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Magenta, Die Krupps, Mission UK and many others, many of them on a compilation or for US distribution for the first time. Of course not all of your favorite groups will be here and you would undoubtedly have put on a different song than the one selected, but with the great range of music and the great written information, chances are you will learn something as well as discover a few new favorite groups.
