Okay. Andy Jones in Classic Pop wrote:
"One box, four remasters on both CD and vinyl, two bonus CDs and two DVDs. Where to start?
On its 30th anniversary, The Crackdown is the ideal choice with the memorable 24 24, the driving Animation and Just Fascination, all with a mesmerising edge that reaches a sinister peak with Crackdown and In The Shadows. The mighty Double Vision, with its brooding ambience, is still breathtaking three decades on.
Micro-Phonies might've been released later but its production values date it more, yet Cabaret classics Sensoria and Do Right lift it to 'essential' status.
The aggressive funk on the Drinking Gasoline EP makes it the weakest of the four releases.
With The Covenant, The Sword And The Arm Of The Lord, however, production values go up. We get dark and slow on Golden Halos, while I Want You and The Web show a more commercial side of the Cabaret sound. It was also a sound just made for the 12", as displayed on one of the bonus CDs.
The box is completed with two DVDs: live shows and Gasoline In Your Eye, which is a great document of the band's experimental visual side, the excellent Sensoria still a highlight.
This is the ultimate document of one of our most influential bands."
