Review by industrialgyrl Mar 21, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
This release hypnotizes you into loving it. Im convinced that the demented opening track is responsible for this. If youre on acid while listening to this release, you might want to skip past track 1 entirely for your own sanity. Well here we go...

Wow, the Victo_Ecret song is absolutely killer! I hope to hear more from this artist soon. Nice samples, beats, synth-lines, and a great drop midway into it. We also have Tone Loc appearing again on a compilation, and why not? Its probably the best Sonar track ever made and a definite dancefloor smash to boot (I suspect Manufactura had something to do with it ;)). The Hazing Ritual track can only be described as a sick monstrosity with its distorted oscillations, thick bass drops, and multi-layered beats. The d'Coli and Mlada Fronta tracks serve as a nice break from the madness with a far off mechanical wailing and a variety of obscure vocal samples from the former, and nice subtle beats over a slightly tribal background from the latter before youre moving again to the likes of Skitoma's little ditty; very bouncy and slightly frenetic. The Magus' track is a dirty little spastic beast and I like it, but unfortunately it seems to be over before it starts. Vuxnut sure worked Manufacura over good into a bombastic caustic nightmare! And the last track drops us off in basically the same whacked-out way we came in. If youre not left twitching well after the CD has ended, then you need to check your pulse.
