Info : Since their emergence in the early 1980s, Alien Sex Fiend have remained one of the most loved and longstanding pioneers of the Goth movement. Fusing themes of horror, humour, inner turmoil and outer space with an industrial and electronic sound years ahead of its time, the band scored countless indie chart hits, found success across Europe, America and Japan and won a dedicated fanbase which exists to this day.

This set charts 35 years of the band's singles, album highlights and fan favourites, along with newly unearthed alternative mixes of two of their most loved songs and two mixes of brand new tracks taken from their forthcoming new album, "Possessed".

The list of artists inspired by Nik and Mrs Fiend's unique brew of heavy, lysergic sonic alchemy- whether they knew it or not - is a long one� from Prodigy to Sleaford Mods. But these guys are the originals, and a national institution to those in the know.

The Quietus Review
A cracking review... "when real horrors and anxiety constantly press in, a quick blast of something like I'm Doing Time In A Maximum Security Twilight Home helps make things more bearable."

Classic Rock Review
So, ASF is an "undervalued British Institution" eh? Mr Roberts obviously has Goooood Taste! ;-)

Altered Frequencies Review
"With all of the collections of the band out there, this has to be the one to get..."

After escaping the terrifying "Zombies in Spaceland" map, the next level - called "Rave In The Redwoods" - transports the game's heroes to an abandoned campground... now it's time for them to take on endless hordes of raver zombies over a 1990s soundtrack.
