THE ATLANTIC YEARS

This is a rare compilation, as it includes some full length epics on it ("Tarkus" and "Karn Evil 9"). I would have personally selected "Pictures at An Exhibition" myself instead of the show that never ends, as this is a much better composition from them in my opinion. Maybe many of the tracks from "Works" and "Love Beach" albums could have also been omitted? Anyway, the first essential album is mostly included here, and the double CD gives a good overview of this band for newer listeners. Those who have these classic albums don't need this release, as there's not any previously unreleased material on it, which is fair from the collectors point of view.
