Inspired by Buzzo's "Recommend a comp game" thread, which I mistook for being about recommending really really good compilation albums.
I'll never tire of the Harmony of the Spheres 3×LP box set/2×CD compilation. I bought it for the Loren Mazzacane Connors side, and got to know about five other fantastic bands as part of the bargain. The Roy Montgomery track is worth the entrance price alone. And the packaging... well, the packaging is beautiful, especially on the original vinyl edition.
Released by Drunken Fish Records (DFR-25) as a 3xLP box set in November 1996. Reissued as a 2xCD by Drunken Fish (DFR-50) in November 1999. The vinyl box set was a limited edition of 3000.
Side A - Bardo Pond – "Sangh Seriatim"
Side B - Flying Saucer Attack – "Since When"
Side C - Jessamine – "22:30"
Side D - Roy Montgomery – "Fantasia on a Theme by Sandy Bull"
Side E - Loren Mazzacane Connors – "Revolt! 1. Flames 2. The Gathering 3. Revolt! 4. Fand (a Tear)"
Side F - Charalambides – "Naked in our Deathskins"
Your turn now. Recommend a compilation...
