Title: Portrait of a Pop Enigma
Product review: Danielle Dax is perhaps best known for her euro-dance club hit "Big Hollow Man" (featured on this compilation), a strangely addictive mix of goth electronica and eccentric country twang. In fact, this best describes the sound of this highly underrated talent from Britain, who appears topless on the cover of this CD, a move certain to enrage the western market sensibilities she denounces. Aside from her most accessible pop tunes, the other songs on this compilation range from eerie experimentation ('music from the film 'Axel') to outright slothy grind core ('hate on sight'). Just compare the sentimental chorale of 'when i was young' to the psychotic wall of noise on 'mongatron' and you get some idea of the diversity on this CD. Danielle Dax's versatility is her best asset, and it's beautifully represented here.
