Body of Work

Shaven Heads Vs. Flowing Hair

Teutonic beats Vs. Rock attitude


Nitzer Ebb is an English trio that burst onto the electronic scene in the mid-eighties, releasing essential albums for the nascent EBM scene.

The world remains shocked by their formula based on martial percussion and electronic bass lines, deep voices, and an explosive stage presence.

Year 2006: Vaughn "Bon" Harris and Douglas McCarthy, the two major members, after dedicating themselves for years to other projects, make a great comeback by announcing new live shows.

Mute rec. wastes no time and decides to celebrate the revived idyll with a compilation of the power-combo and thus presents a double CD filled with the most famous singles and some nice gems.
A great opportunity for the ElectroBody/Industrial newbie to fill any gaps in their discography in one go.

BODY OF WORK:

Nothing to say about the graphics, the minimal layout is absolutely in line with the band's works.

"Isn't It Funny How Your Body Works": the first track which is also the band's first single, clarifies as if it were a manifesto that Nitzer Ebb is the only legitimate heir of the legendary DAF. The unstoppable bass line à la "Der Mussolini" delivers directly to our home a classic dance floor hit.

Follow closely "Warsaw Ghetto", "Let your body learn", "Control I'm here", basically a combination of tracks to shake the earth.

But we also find "Come Alive", the juicy unreleased track produced by the famous Alan Wilder (ex Depeche Mode) and available only as a b-side.

But also the William Orbit remixes are present, especially the unmissable "Shame" and "Captivate".
Mr. Flood (producer for DM, NIN, and Smashing) also graces us with his presence in the track "Ascend".

In short, a collection to buy, consume, and own in spite of those who wish us ill.

Nitzer Ebb: truly a band to reckon with.

5 Stars.

Plenty of parking outside.
