Excellent Compilation.......2005-11-22

This is a very generous compilation. With most best-of retrospectives, there are usually one or two glaring omissions fans can point to, but this has a very well-chosen track selection that hits on all of RSW's strongest work. If this is the only Renegade Soundwave disc you ever buy, it's a solid investment.

Of course, if you do buy this, you may find yourself wanting to track down their albums and a few essential singles anyway just because the material is so good. RSW was always way ahead of their time and criminally underappreciated while they were active. Experimenting with a wide array of electronic styles -- and probably inventing more than a few -- they were noteworthy pioneers in the genre. Unpredictable, edgy, and usually very danceable, you might call them a darker, more daring version of the Chemical Brothers.

Anyway, if you're curious enough about RSW to have found your way to this webpage I encourage you to give yourself a treat and buy this immediately. "Cocaine Sex," "Biting My Nails," "Renegade Soundwave," "Brixton," and especially the darkly tripped-out dubby concoctions on Disc 2 are all amazing tracks that have aged very well (much better than the aforementioned Chemical Bro's, IMHO). Although the original albums are getting harder to find, it's good to see this compilation is still available to the discerning listener.

A wave of sound........2005-10-17

My first interest in Renegade Soundwave came in 1991 when I heard the track "Cocaine Sex", and due in part to my hobbies at that time, it instantly became a favorite song, and still is. Kind of a NIN vibe I'd say. The single for that track also has a few sweet mixes. Other nice inclusions here are "Kray Twins", "Lucky Luke", "Women Respond To Bass", and the hit "Biting My Nails". I believe this could have easily been a single disc collection myself, but no big deal. I often think of Renegade Soundwave as light industrial, but it's probably more techno-ish. Overall a great offering from a mostly unheard of band.

The greatest collection of early '90s techno.......2001-06-03

It is amazing that RSW put together all of their great songs in one amazing package! I wouldn't buy it if "Cocaine Sex" and "Kray Twins" weren't in there, but it also includes the other songs I had to buy 12" and 7"s for -- "Ozone Breakdown" and "The Phantom". If you loved "Biting My Nails", you'll love this collection!

Where ground was first broken.......1998-09-27

Like Can and the Stooges, this band was a true original. Long before "electronica," these three Ladbroke Grove lads had their mits on the very first Public Enemy album in 1987 and knew exactly where the future of music rested from then on. Look at the album title again--1987!! Now buy it, and listen to the menacing, pounding "Kray Twins." No other band has made this music sound so cinematic.
