Starflyer's newest release is a double disc covering the band's history. The first disc gives fifteen songs taken off of the albums. Those songs lucidly show Starflyer's musical development. Starting with the heavily buzzing guitar sounds on the first three albums (Silver; Gold; Americana) and changing into the Beatles inspired rock as played on the albums The Fashion Focus and Everybody Makes Mistakes. What stayed are Jason Martin's dreamy vocals and Starflyer's retro sound. Disc two contains twelve songs picked from non-album recordings like the EP's and seven inches. Furthermore, this disc has eight songs recorded live. The booklet has a biography written by Edward Keyes, bridging Starflyer's history and mentioning some interesting anecdotes. You'll get some insight in the struggles of an artist like Jason Martin. Photos inside speak for themselves. This double-disc is a tribute to a colorful band.
