BOX is a double CD. The first CD contains old songs from 81-85, but this is not a typical greatest hits CD. If you expect a greatest hits album with their "electrogoth"-songs like "Miss Brown" and "Chinese black" you will be disappointed.
The second CD is a remix CD, containing old songs remixed by names of today like Terence Fixmer and Vive La Fête.
When I listen to "BOX" two things come to my mind. First, The Neon Judgement are forgotten pioneers from the electronic front line in the beginning of the 80's, not less interesting than bands like Front 242 and Portion Control. The second thing that comes to my mind is that these old songs are still quite good and sometimes sound almost fresh (even if it’s not a new remix), it is hard to believe that the songs are more than 20 years old! Of course, there are more to wish from the production work (it is as simple as you expect from more than 20-25 years old EBM) and the typical poor Belgian vocals (no other band mentioned). But this is how it should be, and that's probably why it teases your nostalgia.
The remix CD is totally unnecessary, but if you think that the early 80's is the most interesting age of electronic music, "BOX" is definitely something for you. This CD grows on you, the more I listen to it, the more I like it.
