Background and release
[edit]
The compilation was announced on August 4, 2016. Pitchfork reported a digital release for September 30, 2016 and a 2xLP release for October 28, 2016, and published the full track list including the two new songs.[3] Saddle Creek issued the set in multiple formats, including a silver 2xLP packaged with a bonus 7 inch containing the new tracks.[1]
The set compiles material from the group across five studio albums and a standalone single, associated with dance-punk and dance-rock.[4]
Coverage by album review outlets characterized the release as an effective career summary. New Noise Magazine called it both a reminder of the band’s early positioning and a strong entry point for new listeners, and assigned a four star rating.[5] The Electricity Club described the sequence as a good introduction, noting its emphasis on material from Danse Macabre and Wet From Birth.[6] Record Collector reviewed the compilation and argued that the selection presented a warmer portrait of the group than its reputation for coldness.[7]
Credits and durations adapted from Bandcamp and the label.[1][2]
Notes
The two new songs, “Skylab1979” and “ESP”, are included on CD and digital. They are pressed as a bonus 7 inch with the LP.[1]
