Recurring Dream is a 19-track collection that assembles most of the band's singles and adds three new studio tracks to entice fans -- "Not the Girl You Think You Are," "Instinct," and "Everything Is Good for You." As a career summary, the collection works fairly well, though the nonchronological sequencing makes for a slightly confusing listen. Nevertheless, for a band with no shortage of great material (there's not a bad album in the bunch), Recurring Dream is a good place to get acquainted with them. Initial pressings also came with a second disc that compiles highlights from the band's always entertaining live shows. Maybe a disc of non-album rarities and B-sides would have been a better choice, but for fans this is an essential addition. [In 2003, Recurring Dream was reissued with the DVD Dreaming: The Videos as a second disc. Dreaming contains all 21 of the band's promo video clips, along with a bonus interview from Catch 22. Since this DVD is available separately, only those fans who have picked up neither the hits collection nor the DVD will be interested in this repackage.] ~ Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
