Great Introduction To NWW

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For those new to Nurse With Wound "Livin' Fear Of James Last or... Joy in the House of Dada!!!" is a great way to get to know the NWW sound.

This compilation gives you a nice over view of their work from 79' to 05'. What I feel is best about this compilation is not only do you get 19 great NWW tracks most of them are over 7 minutes long. Although that isn't uncommon with NWW.



The comp also has a nice variety of tracks.

Such tracks as "Die, Flip or go to India" and "Home is where the heart is/Monument for Perez Prado" are some nice chill-out ambient. "Optical Illusion Pad" and "Intravenous(edit)" have a psychedelic edge and of course there are some great noise tracks like "Cold(edit)" and "The six buttons of sex appeal" and there is even "Subterranean Zappa Blues" which stands out as the most structured track on the comp that seems to scream "Industrial".

Last of all there is the track "I was no longer his dominant(remix)" which I believe is the only unique track on the album. It's a ambient like track with spoken word throughout and last over 11 minutes.



The price is right for the album but I believe new fans will benefit from it more than collectors unless you absolutely gotta have everything NWW.
