5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible collection of the new wave in goth music, September 6, 2003

I was perusing the used cd bins today when I came across this three cd compilation. The second I saw the list of songs on the compilation, I knew I had to buy it. The first two cds are just thrown together while the third disc is a non-stop mix cd by DJ RiB (as in Razed in Black). I am a huge fan of bands like VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, and Wolfsheim. A lot of the songs are remixes too. Another reason for buying this box set was that I always wanted to hear what Claire Voyant, L'Ame Immortelle sounded like. Needless to say they rocked my socks off. I absolutely loved "The Truth Behind" (L'Ame Immortelle) and "Majesty" (Claire Voyant). I definitely want to look into acquiring cds by each band very soon. I also had to hear the Apoptygma Berzerk remix of Switchblade Symphony's "Sweet". Normally I am used to listening to Switchblade Symphony at a much slower, more trip hoppy pace but Apoptygma Berzerk really cranks out the energy in this song and gives it an added boost of energy. Fear Cult does a really interesting take on Blur's classic "Boys & Girls". I certainly wasn't disappointed in the Icon of Coil remix of VNV Nation's "Genesis". Icon of Coil did an amazing job at remixing one of my favorite VNV Nation songs. I certainly wasn't disappointed with Funker Vogt's "Cold War". I just love that band to pieces. Other favorite songs include Pax's "Catch My Fire", The Birthday Massacre's "Video Kid", and Spahn Ranch's "Remnants". "The remix cd was amazing as well. The perfect cd to listen to on a Saturday night before hitting the nightclubs. I loved "This Is Neo-Goth". This 3-cd compilation showcases the best of today's hottest goth/industrial/EMB acts around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Define Neo-Goth?, February 23, 2005

What is Neo-Goth? I think that people are forgetting that "goth music" does not just mean death rock. It could be mope rock like Morrissey or Bauhaus, or it could be energetic and angry like Apoptygma Berzerk. This album is called "Neo-Goth" because I am guessing that Cleopatra records (the company that distributed this album)wanted a compliation of energetic dance-floor goth. However when they realized that they had too many favorites their list was split up into two box sets: "This is Neo Goth", and "This is Industrial". To me, this album says it all. If you are a fan of VNV, Assamblage 23, and Apop,then buy this album!

This album is worth forking out your bucks. But the title is not quite right. It's not totally neo because you have the regulars on this compilation: Apoptygma Berzerk, Wolfsheim, Switchblade Symphony,etx. and is more electo-industrial than goth. But maybe this is the new-wave of goth. Don't get me wrong though. This four disc set is a veritable treasure chest of sound and I love every cut and remix. It is totally a five star product.
