Five CD collection. Formed in 1984 and hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, The Essence signed to UK label Midnight Music in 1985 a year after touring their homeland, and soon after released their debut 12" 'Endless Lakes' and their first full-length LP, Purity. After the favorable reception of their inaugural releases, especially within Europe, this paved the way for a successful 35-year career for the band, covered here in this set. Contains the albums Purity (1985), A Monument of Trust (1987), Ecstasy (1988), Nothing Lasts Forever (1991) and Afterglow (2015), plus all of their singles and the best of their B-sides and alternative versions - all chosen and curated by the band themselves. Widely known for their audible similarities to the Cure - Hans Diener is Robert Smith's vocal twin, and their numbers such as 'A Mirage' and 'The Cat' replicate the Cure's brooding guitar sound perfectly. However, although The Essence didn't become as well known within the States as the Cure, their albums such as Ecstasy and A Monument of Trust ensured the band became cult favorites, particularly amongst the goth rock crowd. Contains full sleeve notes focusing on the career of The Essence by singer and band-leader Hans Diener. Comes in a specially packaged clam-shell boxing, containing beautifully designed disc wallets replicating the original album artworks.

Best fluffy but firm pillows
Size: King(Pack of 2), Size: King(Pack of 2)
These pillows are worth every penny! They started off pretty flat but after three days they plumped up well. In addition to them being plump, they are also firm. Exactly what I was looking for. You can shake up the internal stuffing if you want them softer too. They were a bit pricey but I’m going to repurchase and replace all my home pillows with these. I do sleep hot and the cooling side is perfect to lay on. Kept me cool and comfortable. I haven’t had any neck or back pain after switching to these pillows too. Absolutely recommend these for your home. The photo shows how full the pillows are. I have four pillows in the picture plus two smaller other brands. These are definitely fluffier.

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!
