Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time Cardiacs released 'Greatest Hits' in 2002, they were well-established within the British underground music scene, having formed in 1977. This compilation came after a series of influential albums, notably 'Sing to God' (1996), which solidified their reputation for genre-defying sound. The compilation serves as both a retrospective and an introduction to new listeners.
