Starflyer's newest release is a double disc covering the band's history. The first disc gives fifteen songs taken off of the albums. Those songs lucidly show Starflyer's musical development. Starting with the heavily buzzing guitar sounds on the first three albums (Silver; Gold; Americana) and changing into the Beatles inspired rock as played on the albums The Fashion Focus and Everybody Makes Mistakes. What stayed are Jason Martin's dreamy vocals and Starflyer's retro sound. Disc two contains twelve songs picked from non-album recordings like the EP's and seven inches. Furthermore, this disc has eight songs recorded live. The booklet has a biography written by Edward Keyes, bridging Starflyer's history and mentioning some interesting anecdotes. You'll get some insight in the struggles of an artist like Jason Martin. Photos inside speak for themselves. This double-disc is a tribute to a colorful band.

I had an hour to kill, and I figured I better listen to the disc before writing about it, even though I was already quite familiar with all of the songs on it. I have been a fan of Starflyer ever since their debut release Silver in 1994, and I consider them…Opus 2000Reviewed by Jason MoreheadI remember the first time I listened to Starflyer 59. The moment I heard those billowing clouds of guitars, barely audible yet incredibly beautiful melodies, and those breathy vocals sighing those cryptic lyrics, I was hooked. For the first time, I knew that one could be a Christian and still make relevant, modern music. And even though frontman Jason Martin has always been upfront about his…Similar sounding releases
