            When I first picked up this double cd I had only heard 2 songs of Die Forms on compilations. Basically i had no idea the range of material that was pressed on these 2 cd's. The disks cover work done from 1980-1997. The musical style ranges from stripped down EBM to to darkwave to haunting atmospheres with operatic female vocals. Die Form is known for references to bondage and domination hence song titles like "sex by force", "slavesex" and "masochist II". although the sound can get repetative this album really portrays the beauty and terror electronic music can place in the mind of the listener.
