After originally coming to prominence as the rhythm section of Galaxie 500, Damon & Naomi have remained low-key cultural icons, releasing numerous haze-filled albums as a duo as well as in several permutations collaborating with a variety of underground psychedelic legends. This collection from their first four duo releases comprises the best of some of their best stuff, including their essential work with Japanese psych heroes Ghost. Recommended!

Damon and Naomi are not really a "greatest hits" sort of an outfit; after originally coming to prominence as the rhythm section of Galaxie 500, the couple have remained low-key cultural icons, releasing numerous haze-filled albums as a duo as well as in several permutations collaborating with a variety of underground psychedelic legends, running a great underground press, and generally being interesting people. And while this collection from their first four duo releases may not have any top ten moments, it comprises the best of some of their best stuff, including their essential work with Japanese psych heroes Ghost.
