Even if you have acquired the three singles (The Hacker, The Act and Connection Machine) containing this albums tracks, you should go after this historical Long Play. The double-sleeve cover presentation is simply amazing: the out-of-the-usual images are finely combinated with also odd resumes of each one of the tunes. Two of them, in special, are worthy of mention. Buried Dreams, a sinister minimal-ambient electronic masterpiece with sexual screaming samples and a the speech about the history of Elizabeth Bathory, the Countess of Blood (La Comtesse De Sang) and her life of blood-sadistic crimes on the XVIIth century. The Reign appears as a far obscure EBM of slow BPMs whose environment of darkness is titled as A Happy Death by the french writer Albert Camus in the cover resume.
