5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Electro Albums Ever, November 2, 2006

This is a watershed. It is a monumental achievement of word and sound. If you are unfamiliar with Covenant, they are an electronic band, utilizing samples and synthesizers. This is no 80s synthpop though. It's dynamic, edgy, powerful music. The lyrics are just as engaging as the music. Many songs are danceable, but that's not the point. Yes, this can be great party music, but it's also good for those introspective folks who want to sit and listen in solitude or isolation. This version of the CD does NOT contain the Stalker EP, with the extra mixes of that song, or the song Babel. Just get the regular Metropolis version for that. This CD does, however, contain LUMINAL, and it's the only place you can get it.

These songs are intellectual yet elemental. They have a strong sense of predator vs. prey. They present paradoxes in life and undercut the human will. Full of ego and yet cynical of that same ego. The music is brilliant and experimental in every aspect and yet accessible. It is darker than their later material. This is probably the most significant achievement of the band, though. One of my favorite albums of all time.

Second release from one of the most popular and addictive electro acts around.Sounds like electro-industrial but is the sound of future electro so...is the base of future-pop?
