The collection follows the group from their early gothic and post-punk beginnings through the bigger, harder-edged rock sound that established them internationally, making it a useful overview of the band's development between 1984 and 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe opening run of tracks includes some of The Cult's best-known recordings, from “She Sells Sanctuary” and “Rain” to “Revolution”, “Love Removal Machine” and “Lil' Devil”. “She Sells Sanctuary”, originally released in 1985, became one of the defining songs of the band's early period, combining Ian Astbury's distinctive vocals with Billy Duffy's instantly recognisable guitar sound. The band's move towards a more expansive hard-rock style is particularly evident on later material such as “Fire Woman”, “Edie (Ciao Baby)” and “Sweet Soul Sister”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe collection also provides a useful snapshot of The Cult's changing sound across the late 1980s and early 1990s. Tracks such as “Wild Flower”, “Star”, “Wild Hearted Son”, “Coming Down (Drug Tongue)” and “Heart Of Soul” demonstrate the band's ability to move between heavy guitar-driven rock, alternative rock and more melodic material while retaining the distinctive Astbury\/Duffy partnership at its centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWith recordings spanning 1984–1995, this compilation covers material from the band's early albums \u003cem\u003eDreamtime\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLove\u003c\/em\u003e, through \u003cem\u003eElectric\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSonic Temple\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCeremony\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Cult\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBeyond Good And Evil\u003c\/em\u003e.
