This collection covers the 80s and features selections only from major album releases. It's a long overdue update to the Stone Circles compilation from 1987, but doesn't include all of those tracks, instead getting deeper and more obscure, such as including "Premonition 16" instead of its A-list flip side, "Curious Guy." This one goes all the way up through The Golden Age yet omits crucial anthems like "Casting the Runes" and "The More It Changes." RTW

I love having this in CDR format because: a) it is Edward; b) I have The Quarantine Tapes of which this is the first “volume” and, like it or not, cassette tapes are cool but they are not ultra-durable; c) the music is fabulous (OK, this should probably be the first reason, but since I already have the cassette, it must languish at “c”); and d) hopefully this means the remaining three volumes of The Quarantine Tapes will be released as lovingly made CDRs.
