Accidentally stumbled across this on Amazon. I had no idea about it, appears to have a few mixes I haven’t heard of.

I wonder if Al and Angie knew what they were getting into when they signed with Cleopatra?
lol. wtf is that
It’s just another repackaging of the material he recorded for Cleopatra.
It’s what that label does.
I’ll assume that these are the extra, extra scary versions if the skull with stitches on the cover is any indication.
I’ll assume because…I sure the fuck won’t be listening.
Cheap, shitty artwork is another Cleopatra trademark.
He must’ve needed the cash to pay off his medical bills to get in bed with these guys.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
It looks like they handed a retarded child a copy of Megadeth’s “Killing is My Business” and asked him to copy it . . . . getting absolutely everything wrong in the process.
Stitches? On a skull? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Worst.
Album Art.
EVERRRRRR!!!
Dubstep.
'Nuff said.
Those are stiches on a skull? I thought it was a very poorly drawn baseball.
HAHAHA!!! I was thinking that as well. It’s so bad. So unbelievably bad. Does Cleo even have someone approve this crap? I swear anyone (and I do mean ANYONE) can make a better cover than this. Someone actually gets paid for this?
I would love to take a tour of that company some time and meet the team of rocket scientists on staff. It’s probably like a sweat shop. Some 5 year old chained to an old Commodore64 banging out a new album cover every 5 minutes. Another 5 year old being whipped with an old leather belt because he was supposed to have done 12 Ministry remixxxes today and he only completed 11 . . . .
yea, i have a few cleopatra shit from when i was trying to explore TKK stuff. Electric Hellfire Club it was. But yea. Bad. Plus I got their “Guide to Industrial Music.”
So if they’ve got other mixes on that which you guys haven’t heard (5 is it?) is that to say they just had some guy with a mac throw some “xtra” mixes together? Plus, Al and Co. haven’t mentioned these. I mean you could say AL isn’t talking about them cuz he’s not getting any $, but who knows.
I bought a book from Cleo almost 20 years back. It was called, I think, Industrial Revolution. It was a pretty cool book and gave a good overall coverage of all the major players.
But the major downside of the book was that Cleo used the book as a platform to cram every single band on their label into the book. They justified EVERYTHING on the Cleo imprint as having some sort of importance to the world of Industrial Music . . . Christian Death, Sex Gang Children, Faster Pussycat, stupid bands no one even heard of like Puzzleface or something . . . . if Cleo had something to sell, then by golly you were going to hear about it in this stupid book.
I gave it away to some kid but wish I’d held on to it just for the laughs.
I thought Faster Pussycat was a hair metal band.
I thought Faster Pussycat was a hair metal band.
Yeah, well . . . tell that to Cleo. And I’m not 100% positive it was Faster Pussycat that was listed, but there was definitely some glam dookage which was totally out of place. I’m pretty sure Motorhead was listed too, haha!
They’re not just getting anonymous Cleopatra interns to do the remixes. Angelspit, Powerman 5000, Razed In Black, Psychopomps, Leæther Strip and Implant are all artists I have heard of before.
brilliant!
Yeah, yeah, we’ve ALL heard of Powerman 5000. But that’s only because they were on Beverly Hills 90210.
David Silver produced them, so you know they’re gonna be good. I still don’t know why they let Donna be in their video, though. I guess even rockers need to bow down to the almighty Aaron Spelling.
And Angelspit is hardly an “artist”. They’re two retards with a boombox and horrible rapping skills. The only people that like them are horny losers who act like the music is listenable because their singer is a smokin’ hot Asian chick in silly outfits.
Anyway, this latest batch of mixxxmasters may not be completely unknown. But they SHOULD be. This album should do well in helping them retain their dubious status.
That Industrial Revolution book was a tie in to a comp of the same name around 1993. It’s total trash, plus it’s rife with typos and grammatical errors.

Typos, grammatical errors, erroneous data, mislabled photos . . . It had it all, Bro! Best book ever.
The Industrial Revolution book was awful. So many factual errors. There was a listing for a band called 10,000 Homo DJs. The author insisted on calling synthpop “synthi-pop,” which is a term I’d never heard before or since. And he was obsessed with prog rock and included stuff like King Crimson just because he happened to like it.
Also, that “dubstep” Halloween remix is actually pretty good. No, really.

HAHAHAHA!!! That’s right! I forgot about King Crimson (I hadn’t really heard them at that time, so that didn’t register like some of the other boners). Did it really say “10,000 Homo DJ’s”? So awesome.

No, really. It’s NOT. But I’m not really a fan of the original either so it ain’t hurting my feelings or anything. That’s the only one I clicked on. My internet connection in Dubai sucks, otherwise I’d click through a handful of them for laughs.
