I'd recommend the _12" Anthology_ (still available?) for just about all of their best tracks IMO, from circa 1985-1989. If you want to dig deeper, _Bites/Remission_ (first EP + first album) is quite good if a little spotty and the_Back & Forth Series, Vol. 2_ has some really good early tracks (including the prescient "My Voice Sounds Like Shit" -- I kid you not!). You'd probably be quite happy with just _12" Anthology_ though... There are also a lot of various SP projects other than Download, old and new -- Rx has Ogre/Martin Atkins, the Tear Garden had Edward Ka-Spel and cEvin Key, Doubting Thomas had some people, Hilt had some people, blah blah... .John.
