A COMPILATION 2 is a budget double compilation where you can find 28 bands of the Black Rain, NoiTekk, Ars Musica Diffundere and Funk Welten rosters. The first CD is basically focused on the first two labels and it gathers the industrial e.b.m.sound of bands like Die Sektor Life Cried, Psyclon Nine, Iwr, Cyborg Attack, Distorted Memory, Tyske Ludder (a track from their come back album), Feindflug, Dawn Of Ashes, Supreme Court, Fgfc820, Vigilante, Tactical Sekt and Violent Entity. Their tracks are all taken from previously released albums and with these you can do yourself an opinion about the sound of those two labels (and if you love classic or industrial e.b.m. I suggest to check them). The second CD has different kind of sounds and gathers the ambient, electronic, goth and medieval bands of Black Rain, Ars Musica Diffundere and Funk Welten. In this case it's more difficult to find a balanced tracklist but it seems that the labels guys find a way to make it work. At the beginning you can find the orchestral goth of Novalis Deux, the goth of Rise And Fall Of A Decade (a track coming from the forthcoming re-release of "You or Sidney"), the ambient medieval atmospheres of Predella Avant, the ambient ethereal sound of Narsilion (with a track from their forthcoming album "Namarie"), Reliquary, Brillig (with a track from their next album "Mirror on the wall" which is also on their single I reviewed a week ago), Dandelion Wine, the theatrical distorted goth music of Killing Ophelia, the industrial metal of Jesus And The Gurus, the folk of Kutna Hora, the good electro medieval e.b.m. of Lamia, the ambient industrialism of Flint Glass, the really good electro ambient of Oil 10, and Amateur God. A good compilation that you can have for 5 euros plus postage directly from the label's shop page. A real bargain!
