Resistor is the latest compilation from Nilaihah Records which supplies close to 75 minutes of pure musical enchantment. Many of these tracks have been unreleased previously and some are exclusive edits for this compilation.
To quote the liner notes, "Resistor is a combination of EBM, Electro, Darkwave, and Gothic sounds that blend as one dynamic force." Needless to say, this is wall to wall sonic sound, expert vocal harmonics and pumping music to make your day or night much more bearable.
All things being said, RESISTOR is not a compilation you want to put off purchasing. You just HAVE to have this recording. There is a little of something for everyone.
"...This disc has CLASSIC written all over it. 17 cuts of pure, fabulous, wall to wall sonic sound..."

The Industrial Bible - Dachar
Captured within this CD are 17 tracks of pure electro dance bliss. One really nice thing about this compilation is the diversity between the sounds and styles of all of the artists involved. Another great thing is the abundance of exclusive / rare tracks, 13 in all. Resistor is one of the few compilations that I truly enjoyed from start to finish. Mega thanks to the joint forces that be (Arts Industria and Niliahah Records) for putting out such a high caliber product.

Resistor is, for all intents and purposes, an absolutely phenomenal compilation release. Macross of In Perpetual Motion (http://www.gothicindustrial.com) lauded it greatly when it first arrived in my hands and I casually mentioned it to him, spurring me to immediately cut off whatever it was that was playing at the time to begin this. And I wasn't disappointed.
Additionally Resistor is 17 tracks long - seventeen! And not one is a downer, leaving you with a near dual-length collection of some great material, much of it previously unreleased and brand spanking new.

Here are our top ten "musts" compiled from the answers of a survey conducted via e-mail
1. Resistor - Nilahah Records
"Dark and dancy" as Dru of This Ascension puts it! According to our survey results, this was the most popular comp of our audience.

I love getting compilations. Especially when most of the bands are unfamiliar to me. It is delving into the unknown in a sense, you never know what you are going to come across. I have been exposed to so many great bands by purchasing compilations, so I am always on the prowl for ones that look interesting.
This particular compilation is a rare treat. I was familiar with threebands on this CD, and the rest were totally foreign to me. Just about every band presented here has something great to offer. Resistor covers a wide spectrum of music such as, industrial, ebm/electro, and gothic/darkwave. Also, many of the tracks are unreleased which is another great reason to own this CD.
This 17 track compilation is definitely worth the money, and with all the unreleased tracks as a bonus, what more could you ask for?

OUTBURN Magazine #12 - Gary Thrasher
With so many comps on the market, it's hard to distinguish one from the other! But no comp so far this year has been able to capture so much excellent and danceable music on one disc... until "Resistor", that is!
This comp is by far the best representation of the current state of Industrial, Darkwave and EBM available, especially for you female vocals lovers out there... if you buy any comps this year, this should be first on your list!

Sequencer Magazine - Carl Jenkinson
This superb compilation from this new American label promotes itself as `an electro dance compilation` but it`s actually much more than that,as the inner sleeve notes reveal. The music herein will appeal to electro goth,ethereal symphonic & darkwave fans as well as those who enjoy the many forms of electro now prevalent within the scene.
As compilations go,this stands up there with the best of them,managing to showcase different styles whilst retaining a cohesive centre ,this is recommended without question.

Resistor is Nilaihah's collection of Industrial, EBM, electro, darkwave, and gothic bands. The majority of these tracks are listed as unreleased ... and the CD really captures the true essence of the electronica of today in all its diverse forms. There is not a bad track on the whole CD. True to it's claims, a compilation of some of the best electro artists around today.

Spirit in the Sky - #80 - May 2000
Brand new, hot off the press, top notch US compilation featuring the likes of Bio-Tek, Inertia, and Attrition. The compilers have made a real effort to make this something a bit different, by seeking out exclusive edit's promo's, live, and unreleased tracks. The packaging is also pretty stylish. All in all a quality product which stands head and shoulders amongst a whole bunch of similar projects which have flooded the market. Perhaps even the best compilation in years as it contains something for everyone. Delightful. - 74 minutes of thought provoking electro. Seek this out! (5/5)
