5.0 out of 5 stars "Worth" its weight in gold..., February 19, 2001

Big thanks to Claude S. and Anything Box for this release. Worth was recorded between Peace and Hope, but has been extremely difficult to find for many years now. Recorded in Germany with the aid of Gareth Jones, it is a perfect example of synth-pop, even though the liner notes and cover depict a not so wonderful, but rather bittersweet experience for the band. Maybe the adversity fueled the creative juices because every song is fantastic. Two bonus songs are also included. Everything here falls into place smoothly, melodically, asthetically. The mood is set at the beginning and flows throughout. Not too light, not too dark, yet a sublime shade of grey (the photography captures this as well). There are some killer dance songs like "World Without Love," "Soldier & Child," "Beat Of Life," and "Decades," plus some heartfelt and emotional tracks like "Wedding Day," "Someone Speaks," and "Worth." The lyrics are deep, honest, and touching. Claude and Dania's voices are tops. Production is cool, phat mix, crisp sounds, snappy bass and beats, in other words, get this!

Other favorites: "Come Away"/"All You Need Is Love" (wow, The Beatles would be proud!)/"Bonus track #14"

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece, February 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Worth (Audio CD)

This album is the mega-hit that never was, a brilliant follow up to 1989's "Peace". Far surpases Peace as an album. I believe it was produced by Gareth Jones of Depeche Mode production fame (who also just produced Erasure's Other People's Songs). You must have this album. Also, highly recommended -and just as good - is "Hope", the next Anything Box after this one. The song "Beat of Life" could've been a huge hit, if it weren't for the grunge invasion of the early 90's.

Both "Worth" and "Hope" surprisingly out-pace the larger selling sony release, "Peace". Later releases by Anything Box, sadly, are less interesting.
