2 stars A pretty hit-and-miss proposition. This is composed of live tracks and unreleased studio material by the band and some solo outings by its members.

The best stuff is the live Brand-X stuff from different periods (except "Don't Make Waves" which was a mistake!), and an odd Percy Jones track or two. The Goodsall solo stuff is all told pretty dismal (save for "Healing Dream"). My suggestion, make your own mix disc of the best tracks on here, forget the rest.

1 stars What was Goodsall thinking on this cheap and shameless attempt to chash in on the Brand X legacy with a trashy and vacant compilation of unimportant material. It's an insult to real fans to offer something of such little importance as this. Save your money and don't support this trash.

3 stars This double cd have some intresting bits in it, most of disc one are good, the noteable moment for me is "kugelblitz" which also was released on "missing period" (the same version both cd`s) the disc 2 have some moments too, the one with pierre moerlen recorded live and one newer song called "healing Dream" but most of dic 2 is terrible, only for complists and other who is intrested to hear what brand x have to offer after "is there anytthing about"

Disc 1 - 4 stars Disc 2 - 2 stars
