Epicurean by The Orchids
A double-album retrospective reflecting The Orchids' career prior to the release of Striving For The Lazy Perfection, their third album for Sarah Records. It features the band's favourite tracks from earlier albums Lyceum and Unholy Soul and also associated singles, such as regular set-closer Caveman, should-have-been dancefloor anthem Peaches, and the dazed and frazzled Yawn, a seven-minute epic originally filling one side of the What Will We Do Next? EP.
