A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE - NO DOUBT... BUT NOT FOR ME!, September 13, 2003
Reviewer: Paulo Leite (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
I don't like this kind of music. It hurts my ears. In fact, it makes me laugh because it sounds like construction work music. But putting my taste aside, this album seems to be an assencial work if you like THAT kind of music. Me? Call me deaf but no matter how much I try, I simply cannot enjoy this.

The album seems to be an impressive artistical investiment from its musicians. I don't like it, but I am sure they do have their followers. Yet, I am pleased that I listened to them (although I am NOT their audience).

Yes, it sounds hard, but yet it seems to be a very mature work from a group of people that will probably never fill a stadium (and I am sure they don't even want that).

Lots of noise, lots of screaming, lots of lyrics you cannot understand, lots of banging, lots of tracks... forget all rational thought! Welcome to the wonderful world of sensations!

Anyway, beware before buying this. Listen to it first otherwise you (and whoever lives with you) may be in for a very unpleasent ride! Best of luck to those who love it!

I don't!

Outstanding Compilation of EN's Middle Years......, July 28, 2005
Reviewer: Schmaddio - See all my reviews
A superb compilation of the bands middle years. I didn't discover EN until they released Strategies III so at first I didn't care too much for this record due to it's a lot more raw than their later work... however, once I gave it a few listens it didn't take long to realize just how brilliant this band's entire career has been. Strat II has been in regular rotation in my cd player now for about three months.... If your a fan of experimental music this one is a can't miss.

A must for the true Industrial connoisseur!, February 21, 2005
Reviewer: Anne Hartley "HEIDE" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
If you enjoy First-Wave Industrial acts, such as Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle, you will certainly want to add this masterpiece to your collection. EN is perhaps the quintessential Industrial act in a widely misunderstood and underrated genre of exotic music. Industrial music is said to come from the Dadaist movement, which was about anti-art sentiments, and, for example, produced poetry by the random picking of words from a dictionary. Many Americans today believe that acts such as Nine Inch Nails are Industrial, when in fact, NIN is not Industrial. NIN is "Industrial Rock", which is basically Rock with a hard, electronic edge. Not all fans of NIN will appreciate EN-- and vice-versa. In fact, their respective sounds are worlds apart. For people already into EN, this particular title is an excellent compilation of various pieces from a particular span of the band's career. It is well worth what little money it costs.
-Anne Hartley, HEIDE (USA Industrial act)

Introducing the REAL driller killers, April 5, 2004
Reviewer: filterite "filterite" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This is a two CD set of Neubauten's more harsher moments. Occasionally beautiful, occasionally irritating and of course occasionally that little bit scary. I just saw them live yesterday and whatever about them " mellowing out " ( which on evidence of their latest albums you would think so ) - live they're still one hell of a noisy band. Still this is recommended to all industrial connoiseurs ( whereever they are ) and that's about it really. Although one last thing - was two CDs really necessary? It easily could have got by on one but I'm not going to complain on that one… (más)
