I guess that guys from Cleopatra were wrong when they released this as Sleep Chamber greatest hits package. I would have done in a completely different way - with 2XCD set with first being industrial rock and second, collecting their ambient tracks. By ommiting many of their ambient tracks, Cleopatra had made a huge mistake of not doing a proper presentation of the band's best sides.
On the other hand, this collection is mainly for an uninitiated, since all of those tracks were released somewhere else in one form or another. So hardcore fans would probably have to use Ebay or p2p instead of this CD in order to satisfy their need.
And what about the music itself ? To put it bluntly, some of it sounds really dated. Production is not the best either, but what saves it from being a complete failure is anthemic tracks like "Kiss The Whip" and speedy rock track "The Light Pours Out Ov Me". Overall, I think Cleopatra had done a very poor job while compiling their best work.
