This is an excellent compilation. I consider it one of the essentials in my collection of few that actually stand up to the litmus test. It combines the best of both worlds of the genres of Industrial and Techno. If you like this collection as much as I do, then check out its sequel entitled: "Dr. Speedlove Presents: Vol. 2", also on Invisible Records. The Full Title of THIS Compilation 2CD is "Dr. Speedlove Presents: Chemical Warfare (Mix Mix Bang Bang)". Enjoy.

Briefly: an excellent and well-rounded collection of remixes of industrial/electronic artists BY other industrial/electronic artists. And where else are you going to find Sheep On Drugs, Autechre, Dub Pistols, Psychic TV and The Prodigy in one compilation? What, you haven't clicked ADD TO CART yet?

I agree -- if you're into anything approximating bigbeat or aggro or industrial or metal or... anything with THUD, stop reading & buy the CD. The whole thing is remixes, all 24 tracks, and there's a little good-spirited give-&-take as the chopper on one track becomes the source on another.

Sure, some of it's lame (like Jah Wobble's "Train"), but the two remixes of Meg Lee Chin (from Pigface) are almost worth the price by themselves. If you can identify the writer of "The Horned One" before the end of the first verse, I'll give you a cookie. "I Like Fur" somehow manages to be a funny anti-fur techno/disco sing-along.

Go ahead -- it'll be okay...

This CD provides a solid and trippy compilation of electronica. Buy it.
