Featuring music from all eras of their career, <B>A Retrospective<\/B> presents the most popular tracks from the band&#8217;s nine full-length releases. Sam selected the songs (with audience input) to please recent fans of vocalists Elysabeth and Bret (from <B>The Scavenger Bride<\/B> and <B>Halo Star<\/B>) as well as those who go back to the 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s with Oscar&#8217;s vocals. The older tracks were remastered, giving them renewed power, sonic depth and presence. To make this release special for &#8220;the fan who has everything,&#8221; Sam picked alternative mixes of many songs including three re-recordings with current members (&#8220;Remnants of a Deeper Purity&#8221;,&#8221; &#8220;Overwhelmed, beneath me&#8221; and the previously unreleased version of &#8220;I have no more answers&#8221; with Elysabeth on vocals).
