A complete waste of time for all involved - especially you

"Yuck! Einsturzende Neubauten's frontman - Blixa Bargeld - has always rebelled against being called an 'industrial' group. He may hate the term, but his band does have some of the genre's ingredients. Bargeld should have saved his interview passion for the one thing Neubauten is truly not - an 'electronic' group. The concept of this CD is lame. Techno DJs mixing great Neubauten tunes with (already) dated electronic style is not only dull, it's lame/stupid/any adjective you wish. The mixers try fast, they try slow, I enjoyed none of it. The CD doesn't capture the band's carefully formed aggressive side, or their uneasy 'quiet' sound. The result is a complete waste of time for everyone involved. Especially for the consumer. Yuck. I was a sucker for this item a few years ago. Save yourself from the same fate. And save yourself some serious money as well. Believe me, if I could swim through fiber-optics and physically restrain you from clicking 'Add to Cart' I would."
