Rather than being an original-period album, this collection draws on singles and key tracks from the band's 1980–1990 era, capturing their distinctive combination of post-punk intensity, psychedelic guitar, dramatic arrangements and literate alternative pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe collection naturally centres on “The Killing Moon”, the majestic 1984 single from \u003cem\u003eOcean Rain\u003c\/em\u003e, with its orchestral atmosphere, Will Sergeant's guitar work and Ian McCulloch's distinctive baritone making it one of the defining recordings of the British alternative scene.
