5.0 out of 5 stars most underrated industrial band in history, April 8, 2003

This band, and in particular the albums "buried dreams" and "Man-Amplified" made electronic music in the late 80's and early 90's that was light years ahead of its time, and yet went largely unrecognized--the sophistication of their electronic wizardry puts much of the primitive rave culture of the day to shame--the beats used on this album are fairly simplistic--what makes it stunning is the DVA-unique, rhythm oriented synth work--not to mention the sound experimentation and sampling--this is dance music with a purpose--maybe it went largely unrecognized because industrial music was going the metal route (what with ministry's Al Jourgenson jumping into every industrial project of the day)--this band was content with exploring the world of a gothic techno--they did a magnificent job making electronic music dark and moody--it really is rare (especially during the time period they were making this music) for electronic music to have so much atmosphere--Clock DVA pulled it off big time

5.0 out of 5 stars "This Is Your Glass Of Darkness...", February 3, 2003

If you are an Industrial purist and you do not own this...that's a crime! A monumental classic in electronic music. A thematic journey into a dark architecture. Beautiful, frightening, and ultimately stunning! A groundbreaking release. Best known for singles "The Hacker" and "Sound Mirror". This re-issue is re-mastered and you can tell! To listen to this brilliance in 2003 is tantamount to listening to it the first time back in 1989. Sonic bliss.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Industrial CD's, January 11, 2002

I am glad to see this being offered by [Amazon.com], even if its a special order. Not many people have heard of this band, but to me it is one the best industrial bands of the 80's and 90's. I guess if I had to compare them to someone it would be Skinny Puppy, but without the heavy music/noise. The songs are very diverse. My favorites are "The Unseen," which uses a sample from the original version of _The Thing_ to set up its spooky and disturbing song, and "The Hacker," which was released as a single. I think if you're a fan of the harder versions of industrial music (ministry, white zombie, etc.) you may want to avoid this. If you like some of the more techno-industrial releases of KMFDM or Coil you should give this try. I think you'd like it. Of course I recommend you try to find it online somewhere to see if they have any downloads.
