i think the sunset tree will always be my favorite, and that's no disrespect to any of the records that came before or after
but it feels intensely felt in a way, obviously because of the subject matter, cannot be repeated

this really isn't the place for this but when there're anthology CDs the process usually involves magazines writing to managers/publicists and artists signing off for zero dollars on the idea that being on something that might reach new ears is a good idea as long as the venue seems kinda cool and not something weird like a McDonalds giveaway or whatever

so I always found the title of "Up the Wolves" off The Sunset Tree to be kinda mystifying much moreso than the actual lyrical content), and then just now I made the connection with thishttp://www.metal-archives.com/images/1/3/1/9/1319.jpg... which seems like a plausible source, but idk
