"I had listen to some of the tracks and fortunately I knew someone who owned it and borrowed it off them, well Orbital is an unusual choice it is an ok song although arnt they ambient? New Order shows its usual icy sound and well the rest of disk one is chock a block full of good to bad sounds. If theres one thing I noticed theres no Stabbing Westward or NIN on here oh well. Meat Beat Manifesto makes a good contribution. The only thing that made me hate this set was disk three. Dont get me wrong I love industrial but this disk 3 was terrible, the sound was cheap and didnt have any POWER. A good collection somewhat marred. If you want a really good compilation get something like the Black Bible or Music of the Shadows volume 3."
It's not so bad...

"I mean really. I own this album, and I must say that it's really good, though I admit, the third disc (Die Krupps' Odyssey of the Mind) isn't great. However, the "Funky Alternatives" are good. Orbtial's "Open Mind" was an unusual choice, but it's one of the best Orbital songs I've heard so far. I love Meat Beat Manifesto's Industrial anthem "Psyche Out". To me, Skinny Puppy, The Shamen, Cabaret Voltaire, 23 Skidoo, Front Line Assembly are all stand-outs. As for disc two, Regenorator, Good Courage, and Apoptygma Bizerk are great. They truly define the term "Industrial" in all aspects. I recommend this! It's a great intro to anyone is curious about some of the pioneers of this kind of dance music. Hope I was able to help."
