5.0 out of 5 stars Catchy electronics, electric guitars and inspiring vocals, January 28, 2007

This review is from: Dark Ages (Audio CD)

Catchy electronics, electric guitars and inspiring
vocals make up this two-disk compilation release of
the German band The Fair Sex, released by the American
label Van Richter. This most recent release came after
a long time of absence and features the most
well-known songs of the band, taken from the
out-of-print recordings The House of Unkinds, Demented
Forms, Oddities and Bite Release Bite. This anthology
also features two completely new songs, "Children of
the Revolution" and "Beautiful Nightmare: The Number
One"; these tracks don't even appear on the track
listing, but are still very good, nonetheless.
Powerful and aggressive, in the style of The Fair Sex.
The first disk commences strong with the Divine
Service track from 1987, blowing you away with
electronic beats combined with the electric guitar,
accompanying the vocals of singer Myk Jung. It is
difficult to imagine that even during the eighties,
this band was producing this kind of revolutionary
music. The first disk never loses the fast pace set by
Divine Service. The second disk continues the pace.
The Fair Sex doesn't use any samples and hence their
music becomes very personal and intense. It is far
away from contemporary "industrial" bands, and much
better as well. These two disks are an excellent
introduction to anyone who has never listened to The
Fair Sex, taking the best of the best from their
previous albums.
