I picked up this CD at a concert, largely for the "leave me alone" track, which I had heard in the club and hadn't been able to find elsewhere. This is a good album, although despite being a mix of all their previous work, not as cohesive as an album as their studio stuff. Their cover of "here comes the rain again" is excellent, rogue's voice adding depth and melodrama to the already excellent song. The last song is the german version of deception, which is one of my favorite CX songs. The german version sounds deceptively like the english, but in many ways is even smoother. Aside from these things, I would reccomend the other CX discs over this one, unless you're looking for one of the specific unusual songs found on this disc.

Once only available through www.cruxshadows.com, this CD has now been made available in most places where CXS is sold. I have owned it for quite some time now, and have never, ever gotten one bit tired of listening to it. Definitely a must for any CXS fan, or darkwave music fan at that.

From Rogue and his band. Great performances and great song writing combine to make this yet another enjoyable experience. Too bad they aren't enjoying the commercial success they deserve in the US.
