The New Wave Ben E. King.......2006-01-12

I always struggle to describe the wonderful music of Mink DeVille. He showed up in the NY & NJ clubs at the same time as the new wave (Talking Heads, Television) bands crested. But he was a completely modern rocker with a Latin twist with strong influences from Ben E. King. Passionate, romantic, rocking, wistful -- Willy's keen songwriting and distinctive vocals combined with the best rhythm section I saw saw at a live performance to make a compelling musical product. This double set combines two fine LPs into one essential bargain.

Stink Deville.......2004-12-05

Dissappointing...simply stunning. I consider myself to be an avrid music listener/buyer/critic, and I am incensed. I bought this stinky album because of the high reviews it recieved on this very netsite. I thought could trust it, but I guess was trajicklly mistaken. Thanks a lot bums.

One of the great American rock bands.......2004-11-19

Mink Deville were, quite simply, one of the great bands. There's no other way to put it. True, they never got too far on the road to popularity. Maybe, in the post-modern era, nakedly romantic love songs aren't cool any more. But, man--these guys had some incredible songs. "Harlem Nocturne" is a fun bonus, but the albums really stand on their own. Willy's read of "You Better Move On," with his endearing sincerity, is a highlight of the album.
These aren't quite the best albums in the Mink Deville corpus, and I'd recommend Cabretta and Le Chat Bleu (in that order) as a first entry point to the band. But they continued to subtly refine and deepen their sound throughout their life as a band, and Willy Deville is, quite simply, a wonderful songwriter. This compilation is well, well worth the time of any music fan who still believes in the idea of love.

Just glad to have these on CD.......2001-09-11

Coup de Grace and Angels Fear to Tread were two VERY different Mink albums for many reasons. Coup de Grace was easily Mink's hardest hitting, rock-oriented offering; much of that's due, I believe, to drummer Tommy Price's appearance in the DeVille lineup. Price powers his way through tune after after, creating a power that was absent in any previous (and subsequent) DeVille albums -- either as a band or as solo artist. The material is strong, not great. Give Me One Good Reason, Maybe Tomorrow, and Love Me Like You Did Before are the rockers and translate in real fine live performances when Willy takes them on the road. The album is not wholly representative of DeVille -- just another side to a remarkable artist. Where Angels Fear to Tread is my personal least favorite album of all DeVille efforts. The material is not very compelling and most, if not all, of the drum parts are programmed. It's jarring to hear these two albums played one after the other, because of the gross difference in percussion.

double platinum!.......2000-02-23

I only know the separate albums, but this double pack sure is value for money! The two best albums by Mink Deville on one CD, packed with some of the best songs DeVille has ever written. Emotion, musicianship, lyricism, it's all here, folks! This is what Mink DeVille stood for: gritty production, soaring saxophone, heart-felt pain... Willy DeVille is the most romantic songwriter this side of the sun, I think. And the pleasure just seeps through every note.

Thank goodness for Mentallo........2005-03-27

Beautiful, just beautiful. An album with substance. Dark with passion. After listening to some of that mainstream kid crap like Avril or Goo-goo dolls (if you're ever at a six year old's birthday party or something) then this is exactly the type of good music you need to get that crap out of your head. A typical Mentallo & the Fixer album has to be listened to from beginning to end. Not the type of album you just pick out a couple of songs you like and skip the rest. Every song is essential in the flow of the album. Unlike many other groups, M&tF doesn't put out one song on an album that sticks out above the rest. That's not their style. Each album has it's own unique sound. Some may catch you right away, others may not really affect you. As on Algorythym I didn't really feel much from that one. It didn't really grasp me. Where Angels Fear to Tread on the other hand is probably my favorite.

If you're a fan of Wumpscut, Leather Strip, Imperative Reaction etc. then this may be just what you need. And yes, they are from Texas. Who would expect this type of music to come from there? But hey we got grapefruit, hot sauce and presidents from there, so who knows what we'll get next.

in a word: euphoric.......2005-01-15

the state of Texas is probably the last place you'd expect Industrial music to spring forth from, considering how several Industrial acts hail from either Chicago (Ministry), Vancouver (Skinny Puppy), or any major city in Germany (practically every band on the Zoth Ommog or Metropolis label). but this Dallas-based duo consisting of brothers Gary and Dwayne Dassing demonstrates that you don't need to hail from Europe to write music that sounds as though the apocalypse is dawning. they have taken their influences of Gary Numan, OMD, and The Cars and created a monstrous concoction of aggressive beats on tracks like 'Decomposed' and 'Virtually Hopeless', but they have also created a wonderfully beautiful soundscape in the form of 'Battered States Of Euphoria.' of all their releases, this one seems to loosen up on the rage factor more than any other album. but Mentallo And The Fixer has no intention of ever going soft. and that fills me with euphoria.

pleased.......2003-10-29

I wasn't sure what to expect from this album. A few years ago, I heard Burnt Beyond Recognition, and did not enjoy it, even after many listens. But, Where Angels Fear to Tread is FANTASTIC. It is a rich and varied collection of music, some of it immediately and obviously beautiful (e.g., "Battered States of Euphoria"), some of it thunderously violent (e.g., the awesome "Bring to a Boil"). It is very melodic, but at the same time has heavy beats and complex noise arrangements. The recording is not as crisp as modern pop music, but that is not a significant problem. One song, Atom Smasher, is ruined by movie sample overuse. But, the bottom line is that this is excellent music, well worth owning.

electronic delight.......2001-05-11

This is the only cd by this band i own, but I suppose i will buy more. When I first listened to it I recognised the electronic sounds were wonderfull but I didn't love it at first. Now I think it's a very beautifully crafted album, which sounds agressive and delightful depending on the moment and the mood. The album begins with a rather chaotic instrumental song, 'Gargantua', which acts as a sort of intro. 'Decomposed' is one of the best songs here and settles the main characteristics of the whole album: distorted voice, not exactly agressive but menacing and cryptic, perfectly crafted electronics, industrial rhythms; There are many instrumental songs here, but they are not fillers at all: in fact, listening to 'Virtually Hopeless', 'Battered States of Euphoria' or 'Abominations unleashed' is a real pleasure, some of the best instrumental songs I've ever listened to. The other best songs are 'Sacrilege' (though I prefer another version not included in the cd, 'Angel of death' mix), 'Afterglow', 'Ruthless' or 'Atom Smasher'; The best of this album is that the electronics are wonderful and full of nuances but they don't sound too much cold; some guitars appear (mainly acoustic, not electric) and they add to the quality of the sound; The most agressive parts are in the song 'Bring to a Boil'; And the best of this cd is that i think this is a very good and ellegant way of how industrial (or whatever you may call it) should sound today; They are not Skinny Puppy but they are not too far behind, and in fact there're some similarities, even though Mentallo is more danceable and less experimental.

Their best.......2000-03-22

This is by far the best CD by Mentallo and the Fixer and I would recommend it to anyone that wants something dark. Although there are not too many songs for the dance floor, it has some hidden gems. Buy it.
