This would seem to be the best cd transfer of the killing joke track almost red that I'm aware of and while there are also some great tracks from jozef k, and 23 skidoo front 242 etc the balance of the compilation is tilted too much towards standard disco and away from experimental/jagged post punk for my personal tastes

I think if the 4 discs of the set were bundled together like one of New Wave Class.x box sets the discs would have balanced each other out and i would have rated it very highly
