Until the raft of special edition CD's, re-releases, DVDs, etc. of the late 90's this comp. was _hard_ to find, the tracks themselves even harder to find: "Crushed" was an exclusive track, and "Moscovite Musquito" extremely limited. Some of the tracks aren't favorites, but they range from good to pure classics.
"Eyesore" moved my little 13-year old soul toward moodier progressive/alternative sounds- and I'm sure I was not alone in that. Thank God for 4AD, and for that matter, the Smiths, the Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, the Cocteaus et al....adolescence wouldn't have been the same without them!
