5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimative compilation !, August 15, 2001

By	Camouflage-Fan (Deutschland) - See all my reviews

The band camouflage has turned out for something through the commercialization of the present-day, very fast-moving music-industry into forgetting. After the very successful eighties, they could tie in the subsequent decade at these gigantic successes no longer. With hits, yes actually milestones in the music-history, like "The Great Commandment" (1987 / 1988), "Strangers Thoughts" (1988), Neighbours" (1988), "That Smiling Face" (1988 / 1989), "One Fine Day" (1989), "Love Is A Shield" (1989), "Heaven (I Want You)" (1991), and "Handsome" (1991) reached Oliver Kreyssig, Marcus Meyn and Heiko Maile to world-fame. The albums "Voices & Images" and "Methods Of Silence" also participates true synthi-pop-classics today. And even the following, many too underrated albums "Meanwhile" (1991), "Bodega Bohemia" (1993) and "Spice Crackers" (1995) testify to the class and the qualities, that the musicians in the text, composing and in the chant unites. In the year 1997, the Polydor (Universal Music) published, meanwhile owners of the song-right of the Metronome, already a Best-Of-CD with the title "We Stroke The Flames". However without consent of the musicians. Meanwhile, this CD of the market was taken. The new Best-Of-CD was published 2001. This time with consent of the band and of course also with their involvement. The Doppel-CD "Rewind - 1995-1987", 2001, a very successful retrospective view now participates and reminds of a musical epoch, that finished much too quickly. The first CD, an audio-CD, comprises the hits in good sort and digitally remastered. There, one finds also the original-single-version from Love Is A Shield in the first text-setting, that participates different, as on the album "Methods Of Silence". On the second CD, a DVD, all video-clips are written until now participate present, including which up to now unpublished "Handsome". As further highlight, there are scenes from the studio, backstage-recordings and further material from the private-archive of the band. A booklet with more exact statements is also enclosed. Very commendable!

4.0 out of 5 stars Remastered tracks, but Americans be warned, June 8, 2005

By	SRFireside "ZOOM!" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Yeah this CD/DVD collection has a great selection of Camouflage songs from across their history up until the album Sensor. Yes this is the best way to get all of their music videos (again up until Sensor in 1998). What they don't tell you is the CD is a remastering of the songs and not just a cut and paste of their albums. You will find a night and day difference on all of these songs compared to the original CD. Sweet.

One more thing to note is most of the songs on this collection are single versions of the song, not the album version. Actually the song X-Ray is a different remix version altogether that was not on the Spice Crackers album (it is a remix from the X-Ray CD single though). Nothing really negative about all this. Just something you all should know.

This is certainly a great collection, especially the videos. However keep in mind the DVD is in PAL format, not NTSC. They might be region 0, but if you don't have a DVD player that can specifically play the PAL format then you won't be happy with the results. I really, really hope they make a Region 1 (NTSC) version of this someday for those of us Camouflage fans who want this in the U.S.A. and don't have international DVD players.
