This massive retrospective collection anthologizes the project's foundational studio albums and EPs recorded during their prolific first decade. The record documents Cooper's consistent ability to maintain emotional resonance through varied stylistic shifts, from dense walls of distortion to skeletal piano nocturnes. It remains a definitive archive of his role in standardizing the modern American atmospheric and neoclassical ambient sound of the 2000s.
