Compilation of 4 not-so-famous RRK albums. But they're all good. The set was so cheap I bought it a few years back despite already owning Prepare Thyself To Deal With A Miracle.

The sudden quotation of Rite of Spring in "Expansions" is fun.

Thanks for posting this! Consider myself a RRK fan but didn't know of the album. Probably (unfairly) discounted it due to post-stroke recording date.
