Specifically compiled to introduce the esoteric duo to the American market, this retrospective heavily emphasizes the sweeping, liturgical orchestrations of their late-80s output. Featuring primarily material from 'The Serpent's Egg' and 'Aion', it showcases Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry's masterful fusion of gothic rock atmospheres with world music instrumentation. The inclusion of two exclusive, highly acclaimed tracks makes it a crucial release in their catalog.
