  1. If it were condensed down to one disc, it would appeal to more than the most devout.

    Their micro-programmed folk has worn thin due to imitators. [Jul/Aug 2005, p.107]

    Manages to contain enough surprise turns and twists... to keep you interested. [25 Jun 2005, p.64]

    The best moments on this double CD are those which foreground Valerie Trebeljahr's sighingly lovely vocals. [Aug 2005, p.120]
  5. With a delight/track tally of about one in four, this compilation won't make Lali Puna a lot more fans (nor does it deserve to), but it will keep their fey indie followers convinced of their own dreaminess whilst providing the illusion of alternative cred and strangeness.

    i totally agree with RIchard H, the remixes are average (although To Rococo Rot's remix of Grin and Bear is fantastic), but the b-sides, i totally agree with RIchard H, the remixes are average (although To Rococo Rot's remix of Grin and Bear is fantastic), but the b-sides, rare tracks and new ones are amazing. Past Machine is my favorite track here and I hope the new Lali Puna recordings are as krautrock as this song. Full Review »

    Although the remixes get a little tiresome, the "new" content is quite good.
