DAX Comatose-Non-Reaction

[Rex <willia42@facstaff.wisc.edu>]

I bought Danielle's new 2-disc compilation, and thought I'd discuss it a
bit.  First of all, there are 21 tracks spanning two CDs, with a total
playing time of 81 minutes.  If just one of the previously-available tracks
had been omitted, this could have been a single disc.  None of the tracks
pre-date INKY BLOATERS and none are taken from BLAST THE HUMAN FLOWER;
otherwise, this seems to be the World Serpent equivalent to DARK ADAPTED
EYE; buying this along with the other World Serpent Dax releases would bar
the need to own DARK ADAPTED EYE.  All the tracks from DAE that were
unavailable elsewhere can be found here.  Also present on this compilation
are nine tracks that I didn't previously own, plus a Shock Headed Peters
song ("Hate On Sight").  Other newer stuff includes a demo version of
"Defiled" (original version from the Sire JUST SAY ROE sampler) and two
other noisebound, aggressive tracks.

Obviously, I would have preferred a more complete, comprehensive
collection; either that, or to have the INKY BLOATERS tracks removed and
have the whole thing pared down to one disc.  The booklet contains some
entertaining photos (of course, have you ever seen a photo of Danielle that
ISN'T entertaining?)...
