REVIEWS :

i bought this album because i'm a huge pitch shifter fan, but scorn's track is one of the best on the cd, in my opinion. i was never into black sabbath that much, but there are some cool tracks on this comp. scorn's cover of "the wizard" is very long and drawn out, but it's much more hypnotic than boring. it is very ambient, even though there is guitar, with some icy vocals scattered over the top and some powerful bass underneath. it definitely stands out on the album. other highlights: "NIB" by PITCH SHIFTER!!!!!, "changes" by fudge tunnel, and the hilarious "paranoid" by ultraviolence.
