Review by DarkSouljah Apr 06, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)

This album acts as both a compilation of early material, as well as Groth's first full-length release. The majority of the non-useless-interlude/intro/outro tracks have been pulled off of APB's first couple of EPs; some of have been re-mixed, while others have been re-recorded. This yields 8 full tracks, and 5 which are simply filler in my opinion. With regards to the new tracks, they fit the same dark 'n' dirty style as the older ones, which makes the album flow effortlessly instead of seeming choppy and as an obvious compilation.
Personally, this is my favourite APB material - before Groth decided to bring in excessive synthpop and electro influences. Instead what you will find here is a consistent collection of stripped down EBM; a nice milestone comp before APB went in a completely different direction.
