Belly were an early 90's American indie rock band formed by Tanya Donelly, Formerly of Throwing Muses and The Breeders. They only released two studio albums before splitting in 1996 and this compilation, released in 2002 collects the singles, key album tracks and B-sides and rarities. Belly's sound is very much of it's time and listening back now the production on the drums hasn't aged brilliantly, but the songs still shine through. Their 1993 single "Feed The Tree" was their biggest hit and is one of he best songs on this compilation.
Other highlights on the album are covers of "Trust In Me" from Disney's "The Jungle Book", Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced" and Gram Parsons "Hot Burrito #1", plus their singles "Gepetto" and "Dusted". Overall though, my favourite track that Belly ever did (and is included on this CD) is "Broken", a non album track which initially appeared on the "Mallrats" soundtrack...
