This group isn't like Ministry or any of the hardcore industrial groups. But it isn't what I would call techno either. I guess the closest comparison to any group is Skinny Puppy before they were into the harder stuff. I liked this album a lot. Its the "greatest hits" of Clock DVA, but if you can pick up the CD _Buried Dreams_ where about half of these songs come from. My favorites are "The Hacker," which has a non-stop keyboard to move the song along, and "Sound Mirror." All of the songs have a sinister sound to it, which makes it intense in its own way. This is a great CD for those who want to try industrial without all the hardcore guitar and screaming.

This album has the beats and rythem that makes industrial music great. It's not hard like Ministry or KMFDM, but for continual percussion along with great keyboards, you can't ask for much more.

Any first-time listener of Clock DVA should be advised that nearly all of these tracks on this CD are REMIXES: i.e., they're not the standard album or single versions of the songs! Granted, they're all very recognizable as versions of the original songs, but they are different and it should be noted that the album versions are generally even better than these remixes. Especially the tracks off "Buried Dreams"! So if you like what you hear, check out the other Clock DVA releases from this era, especially "Buried Dreams" and "Man-Amplified".

DARK AND ambiant this cd is cool with alot of sampeling klanks and mello beats i really enjoy clocks work and you will to go get it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
