overlooked
Amidst the often dire output of other bands in this era this stood headandshoulders above the supposed competition. The drummer sounds like he's tryingto hit every cymbal at least once in every song, and he had a few if I recall. This was a genius first album from a band who got better over the years and in direct contravention to their sales. Correct this tragic circumstance now and invest in a fine example of post-punk indie wonderfulness.

Back to my past
As an intro to Icicle works this is reasonably representative but a best of may be a safer bet.
