Review

This best-of arrives in 2004 amidst a flurry of My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult-related activity, including a self-titled compendium of their early releases, the Kult Kollection DVD (featuring the band's video discography and clips from the exploitation film that spawned the Thrill Kill concept) and a remix album, Diamonds & Daggerz. Best of TKK is pretty concise, drawing from the period between 1987's I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits and 2001's Reincarnation of Luna. It includes the edited versions of "'Cuz It's Hot" and "Kooler Than Jesus" from My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, the Sexplosion! highlight "Sex on Wheels," the delightfully sleazy "Devil Bunnies," and a remix of the Crow soundtrack cut "After the Flesh." All of this makes Best of TKK a worthy purchase for anyone curious about the band's fetishistic cross of dance, industrial, and smirking debauchery. But there's nothing here longtime fans won't already have, and it's arguable that an earlier LP like 1990s Kooler Than Jesus, or the breakthrough Sexplosion! would be a more effective introduction, anyway, since they're purer statements of what the Thrill Kill Kult's all about. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
