Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of the British band's 1992 album. This set presents a fascinating insight into the album's development, containing nine of the band's own 'bedroom' demos for the album, recorded before the recruitment of a drummer (including a song which was never released), alongside the best of the b-sides and remixes from this period in their career and a promo only version of 'Get The Girl!'. Accompanied by sleeve-notes by the band's own Adam Mole, an essay on this period and some fantastic archive images, this package provides a fascinating insight into a very successful era of change in PWEI's career. Cherry Red. 2011. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars feels like karma, February 10, 2008

PWEI has always been my favorite band ever since I first heard them. It sucks that they are no longer together. Anyway, I believe this is their third album(at least in the U.S.), and it is terrific. It's a shot to your face right from beginning to end. Karmadrone is my favorite and it was the one track from the album that had it's own single. Every track on this album is great. One of the reason's that PWEI is my favorite band is that they have such a unique and wild sound. I classify them as industrial because they mix live instruments with loops and samples. If you like anything like Renegade Soundwave, Front 242, Prodigy, or The Orb, then you will most likely dig this. This is just as good a place as any to get into the poppies, and if you already dig their sound then get this album now.

this is the day..., and cure for sanity were two of my fav albums of all time and i was really looking forward to getting this one when it first came out. i was really disapointed cause the songs weren't nearly as strong and for me the live drummer just doesn't work. what i loved about PWEI was the way they sampled awesome drum beats and when they stuck a live real drummer in there it just...i don't know, ruined the whole thing for me. i really wanted to like this album. i tried hard but couldn't. didn't really like much that they put out after this either...but at least i will always have my cure for sanity and this is the day...and no one can take those away from me.

This really is one of the best electronic rock based albums to ever come out. Imagine the Beastie Boys(with heavy british accents)performing with a sample heavy electronica group and rock guitar player. Quirky, catchy, and FUN!
