Fantastic - one of the best samplers ever-PERIOD
I have to give it to Amazon and Barsuk-this is great-no kidding.

From the fine start by Ra Ra Riot on "Ghosts Under Rocks" which includes a kickin' groove layered with beautiful "Eleanor Rigby-ish" strings, floating, flying, cruising backing vocals and lyrics meant to pay attention to, all the way to the >mix< on "Pushover" which is amazing-up front vocal and clean and punchy track to go along with it-this is great.

John Vanderslice, "White Dove"; very good stuff.

"Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh" by Say Hi - great horn section intro-there is some true imagination and creativity shown here. Cool slap-back vocal juxtaposed against the horns. Someone actually put some thought into this production, plucky guitar and all.

"Wet & Rusting" and "My Only Offer" also excellent. I could go on...

Get this now-every cut has something to offer-this may be the best freebie in the genre that Amazon has ever put up-big props to Barsuk-beautiful.
