This album has 26 songs from the 90s... I was expecting mostly tacky pretencious 80s-impersonators (with which, personally, I have no problem: there's something pure about rock being tacky) but this album is SO much more. I was SO impressed at the level of production in most of these songs. They are complex, and often blend intelligent techno with dark melodious Goth. Case in point: The 3rd song, Sound of Angels, by Element, and Waves of Sorrow.... brilliant sweeping landscape songs... there is some gratuitous classic goth on this album (Alien Sex Fiend; Painted Glass) but it's mostly unique and profound. Surprising! There WILL be a resurgence of Goth in the new millenium, you mark my words...! Some of these bands will have their hay-day yet...

I rated this album four stars instead of five because of one song put on the album"satan's little helpers" by the electric hellfire club! I wish this song had not been put on this album!If you read the lyrics you will find a direct attack against Jesus Christ! I relize we all have the right to believe in what ever religion we choose according to law,but as a christian who happens to love goth music I find the lyrics" Jesus Christ died for his own sins,not mine" to be offensive! If the electric hellfire club wants to worship satan, and join him in hell that is there choice.Jesus Christ was the sinless lamb born of the Blessed Mother Mary!If you will read 1 Peter 2:22 or Isaiah 53:9 it speaks of Jesus being sinless during his life! Narrow is the way and wide is the path to destruction!I love Jesus,and I am not ashamed of the gospel!It's sad that so many artist who are great waste there talent on false religions and beliefs!I will add to this review when I receive the album. So far, I really like this album because it's different from other types of Goth music. I found it to be hypnotic,heavy and the melodies to be excellent!I would recommend this album for purchase if you can stomach track #4(song mentioned above)a sad departure from the real truth about our Lord Jesus!God bless you all...rock on!Hillery...

P.S. I did read the lyrics in question!

Great set with plenty of music to choose from including the essentials. Bonus mystery Cd was awesome too! Great price for a 3 disc set!
