Editorial Reviews

Spring 2005 marked the 20th Anniversary of the Young Gods. Their radical use of the sampler in the eighties marked them out as one of the first to twist the rock sound into something futuristic and fresh. Still light years ahead of their current contemporary competition, The Young Gods plan a year long series of events to celebrate this landmark. This 2 CD limited edition pressing features 35 total tracks including 'Gasoline Man', 'Did You Miss Me', 'L'Amourir', 'Child In The Tree', 'Pas Mal', 'Secret', 'Skinflowers' (Brainforest mix), 'End' (Live in Geneva), 'Sound In Your Eyes' (Naive mix) and many more. Pias. 2005.

This review is from: Xxy (Audio CD)

This is a pretty decent compilation of the Young God's music. It contains the best stuff they have done. The problem has allways been that besides a few excellent tracks, thier albums have been difficult to listen to in whole, partly due to the experimentation but also to the fact that they sound the same and tire you out. Anyway they have donce some really great stuff such as l'amourir and gaoline man that are really worth looking at. Even if at the time it was maybe not that evident, they have influenced almost everybody in recent years who has been doing industrial electronic music. Their best singles are both powerful and beautiful.
