were only in the spotlight of the Japanese pop scene briefly, from about 1997 to 2003. A few years after their unofficial dissolution (but before their official breakup), the compilation was released, a two-disc set that captures every important song from their eight albums (there was also a single-disc version released shortly thereafter). The set captures the band's adherence to funk principles throughout, as well as the extremely able guitar of leader . The sound is complex, built on funk and garage band aesthetics in equal parts, and always fun. ~ Adam Greenberg
