Ah Cama-Sotz
Diary of the Infernal Gods

I'm not interested much in remixes. One or two on an album is fine--provided they're significantly different from the original mix--but entire discs of remixes are a bore and a rip-off. (I'm talking to you, Rudy of :Wumpscut:!) Anyway, the reason I tell you this is to inform you of why I might list only one disc of a two-disc box set on this blog. It's usually because I have all the songs on the other disc elsewhere or, more likely, because the disc in question is just a bunch of steenkeeng remixes.

This two-disc set from the ritual industrial band Ah Cama-Sotz is a good example. The whole shebang is called 10 Years Bat Vibez, which leads you to think it's some sort of retrospective or best-of, but if you thought that, you'd be wrong. Instead, the first disc is all new stuff, a weird and typically spooky-sounding tribute to some very scary gods. It's awesome. And the second disc (titled Re.worx) contains other bands' remixes of past ACS songs. Not so awesome. I have the original mixes on the other CDs, and I'll pass on listening to an hour's worth of remixes, thankyouverymuch. I have enough to listen to as it is, thankyouverymuch. I'm being annoying now, soI'llstop.
