Editorial Reviews

Deluxe two CD edition includes a bonus CD containing 15 additional tracks. 2016 collection from the British singer/songwriter featuring a selection of tracks from across his extensive back catalog as well as two brand new tracks. David Gray's early music was in a contemporary folk-rock, singer-songwriter mode; his primary instrument was acoustic guitar, with occasional piano. Starting with the release of 1998's White Ladder, Gray began to make significant use of computer-generated music to accompany his voice and acoustic instrumentation, a technique which differentiates him from many of his peers. Despite the move to more complex music, Gray has used small-scale, often home-based, recording methods and equipment and espoused a do-it-yourself approach to music production.

    This is one of mine & my Husbands favorite artists so I was excited to find this on Amazon to give to him for Christmas. It came quickly and in good condition. I would definitely order from them in the future.

    This would be a fine album if it were the single CD version but the bonus CD was every bit as good!

    First, I love this music, not my issue.
    I rip all my music then donate the CDs. I always rip at 320 kbps.
    Both discs in this set had major issues with the last few songs. I use MediaMonkey for everything and these 2 CDs drove MM nuts trying to rip them. No, cleaning them didn't help. I then ripped using Nero which was a big improvement, don't ask me why. The recordings were still unacceptable so I complained to Amazon, who were kind enough to replace the 2 CD set. Thanx Amazon!
    However, the replacements CDs were better but still poor on the same few songs. I finally decided to drop the bitrate on just the bad songs down to 256 kbps & presto, they were great, using Nero again.
    So, you rippers out there, be advised.
    One small note about the actual music....Way too much finger noise on CD2, Track 15, Shine. DG must be a smoker.

    I should've read the description about the vinyl. Not the same tracks as the CD. Would've loved to listen to Nemesis live on vinyl as well as Birds of the High Arctic. Still great songs and great music. Just not the same tracks I was hoping for and that's on me.

    I was expecting all the songs to be his best, but they weren’t so I guess I was a little disappointed in that way. Too bad we can’t put our own choices . That’s how it goes good and sort of good~ He is amazing~ New stuff is even better if that’s possible. I will look for his collections to come…

    How can you not like anything by David Gray? He's genius. This talented writer is highly skilled at singing too :) If you listen closely, you can hear that these "Best of" songs have been remixed a bit. Absolutely love the new sound. The two new songs Enter Lightly and Smoke Without Fire blend in well and speak volumes of his ever evolving music.. This is a great CD for the car and you can't beat the price. Currently, Spotify is streaming David Gray with a changing track list depending on the most trending songs. Very cool.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Le versioni delle canzoni sono ricantate.
    Reviewed in Italy on August 20, 2022
    Ero convinto che si trattasse di una raccolta con le canzoni nella loro originaria versione; invece, sono state riadattate ad una nuova edizione, e questo non mi è affatto piaciuto, per me queste inziative commerciali discografiche sanno di imbroglio e raggiro. In ogni modo, non ho reso il CD per mera rassegnazione.
