5.0 out of 5 stars I love it, October 17, 2003

By	jeff schuldts - See all my reviews

I bought the album just recently and I love it . From the beginning till the end I am overwhelmed by the sheer dark atmosphere on this record. I heard it also a few times in the clubs , the song Farewell and Cold Damp Day and I danced till I dropped.
This is their best offering so far and I thought it would be not possible but they did it again. So far I love all the Clan Of Xymox albums, don}t get me wrong I LOVE THEM !! , but yes this new album will be spinning for a long time in my living roon,

keep the good music up and spread the word, see you soon ,
love Jeff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome! Their best work yet!, January 18, 2004

By	Richard Van Camp (Vancouver) - See all my reviews

If you love your Goth electric I suggest you check out "Farewell." The two years between "Notes from the Underground" and their 2003 release have paid off in spades. (Case in Point: "Notes from the Underground" only had two tracks that I loved: "Into Her Web" and "Something Wrong"). The Clan have been around since 1984 but they've finally put out an album I can put on all day and adore every second of every track. Nina Simic and Mojca Zugna takes this album to places the band has never been before with superb key work that'll make your artery blood sing and maybe go backwards!

Listen to the magic in "Cold Damp Day". If this isn't the ultimate electro-goth love song, I don't know what is. Ronny Mooring's voice reaches new levels of intimacy in "One More Time", "Courageous" and "Losing My Head." With Mojca Zugna and Rob Vonk backing him up on vocals, and Rui Ramos' mastery over drums and supersonic percussion, there's no stopping the Clan of Xymox now.

"Skindeep" is perhaps the band's most intriguing of any track of theirs that I've heard and Clan of Xymox proves with "Farewell" that they are one of goth's most versatile and dedicated bands. Twenty years of going strong and they're only getting better. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best so far., November 7, 2003

By	Michael Conlin (Eagan, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews

I have been a Xymox fan long before most people even heard of them. I have enjoyed their evolution from album to album. I thought their last 2 albums(Notes from the underground and Creatures)combined would have made one great album. I really liked half the tracks off each. They got it right on this one. I like every track on the CD. They lay down a little more techno beat on a couple of tracks but still keep the dark and gothic sound that makes them unique. I was weary about purchasing this one, but I was way off. The tracks are out of sequence at the end of the CD but that is the only negative thing you will find.
