Background The compilation greatly focuses on the band's 1989 album '' The Real Thing'', with six out of the ten tracks taken from it. ''Epic And Other Hits'' is generally considered a "weak" compilation, and many fans see it as a way to cash in on the success of Mike Patton. Most notably, the Mosley-era track "Arabian Disco" is included, from the ''We Care A Lot'' album, which was then out of print on CD. The album also contains no tracks from '' King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime'' or '' Introduce Yourself''.

Dance Music
Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing. It can be either a whole piece or part of a larger musical arrangement. In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music. While there exist attestations of the combination of dance and music in ancient history (for example Ancient Greek vases sometimes show dancers accompanied by musicians), the earliest Western dance music that we can still reproduce with a degree of certainty are old-fashioned dances. In the Baroque period, the major dance styles were noble court dances (see Baroque dance). In the classical music era, the minuet was frequently used as a third movement, although in this context it would not accompany any dancing. The waltz also arose later in the classical era. Both remained part of the romantic music period, which also saw the rise of various other nationalistic dance forms like the barcarolle, mazurka, ecossaise, ballade and p ...

It was notable as one of the first and most successful independent record labels in alternative music, before its eventual acquisition by Warner Music Group.
