pure nostalgia! "the mystery we are, languishing on the ocean floor" - (undiscovered treasures). the last 6 tracks on their own form a mini-album! the rest is true greatest hits collection - my only complaint being the edited version of "december", cutting short the soaring guitar solo! "drowning" - when i first heard this song, it caught my breath, i couldn't believe how good it was! the alternative versions of "flowers in our hair" & "the dreamer" were a pleasant surprise. A Fitting Coda However, the 10 "new" tracks make an album-worthy statement all on their own. For those (like me) who have All About Eve's 1988 eponymous debut and their 1989 follow up "Scarlett And Other Stories," this collection initially holds little appeal since half of it is comprised of songs culled from those two albums. Two of the songs, "Drowning" and "Strangeway" rank among the band's best material. It makes a fitting coda to the talented ensemble's all-too brief career.
