This is a decent compilation from the up and coming label Sub/Mission. While
viewing the track listing, it appears each of the acts on this release
contributed an older piece along with a fairly recent one. This contrast works
nicely with some of the bands, while in some cases it shows the fact that the
band(s) hasn't seem to progress much. The second track by the Swamp Terrorists
is the first released track that doesn't include the mastermind STR; while it
doesn't have the maniac drum programming, it's still filled with plent of
grooves and angst and is a worthy song. The second track by Cold and the first
track by L.I.N. are more along the lines of straight electronic-industrial
stuff, but the tracks by Meathead and the first track by Cold are little too
guitar-heavy. There are also two unlisted tracks at the end of the CD; neither
is what you could consider "industrial", and instead have a much more organic
feel to them. The second unlisted has a very jazzy, funky feel to it, similar
to a MC 900 Ft Jesus track; except for the fact that Ane from the Swamp
Terrorists provides his recognizable growling vocals. Over half of these
tracks are unreleased, so it's definitely a worthwhile compilation to pick up
for those into the heavier guitar-incorporated industrial style.
