    There’s nothing here from the first album, Life in a Day. Aside from one track (Premonition) it’s basically all from Empires and Dance and Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call, their third and fourth albums respectively, which I think I’m not alone in thinking are the best albums of their career.

      Cannily collects the best songs from their spotty first 4 LPs.
