Customer Reviews Wine gums ( real ones) When I first heard this set I was very disappointed as this was my first LPD disc and I had heard so much about them. This disc contains an interesting mix of early LPD material. At the time it seemed to me to be amateurish and badly recorded( and very obviously Eighties style music. . never my favourite decade). However. . something about it kept drawing me back and I have really come to like this disc a lot. I would not recommend this as a first LPD disc( how about Crushed Velvet Apocalypse. . . )but it certainly has merit. . . and will find a place in the collection of every true fan of the band. Favourite tracks. . well obviously "Premonition 1 & 2" (these seem so much more advanced than some of the other tracks here,and I am a fan of the series) ,"Splash" ( I know the feeling) and "The Whore of Babylon" . All in all this is a very good collection,but not the place to start. outstanding Under Triple Moons is a collection of their dreamy, throbbing ambience at its finest. Imagery both dark and bright is weaved into the genre-defying sound of Legendary Pink Dots. A very bad place to start with LPD. All of them very raw and dated, and can't compare with their newer. This album is a collection of the Legendary Pink Dots' older, unreleased, and rare cuts. . . dare I say. . . accessible, work. If you're a Pink Dots aficianado like I am, then naturally you must pick up this album simply because it represents an evolutionary step in the Dots' varied musical history. If you're just starting out however, I would guide you to "The Maria Dimension," "Nine Lives to Wonder," "Crushed Velvet Apocalypse," or "Chemical Playschool Vol. 8 & 9. ". .
