This album is much more of a collection of assorted works from the previous
eight years than a sophmore attempt at a new album. What appears to be a total
remastering of the older tracks is a definite plus for the album as most
compilation of past work tend to leave the work is it's original state which
often lack the benefits of the technological upgrade. The musical style is in
the same vein as all the Xorcist's previous work, hard driving synth work
meshed with a plethora of samples and a multi level programmed style that gives
the music a unique sound of which no fair comparison could be made between
Xorcist and any other band. Peter still continues to amaze me with the
recording and musical quality of each of his releases. However the music cannot
begin to do justice to a live show. Definitely pick this album up if you
haven't and if you are ever in the San Francisco area find where the House of
Usher is currently residing and maybe you'll be lucky enough to catch Xorcist on
a night when they are performing.
