Question: The Compendium Archive 1996 - 2006 is a compilation album by a band from which US state ?
Context: Somewhere in the Sun... Best of the Dream Academy is a compilation album released by The Dream Academy in Japan in 2000.  The compilation album contains the extended version of "Life In A Northern Town" and an acoustic version of "The Party" rather than the more common versions.  At the time of its release, Nick Laird-Clowes revealed that the band actually had no involvement with the album, and he went on further to say that they weren’t even informed by Warners that a compilation album was being made.  His former label boss, Alan McGee, then of Creation Records, was the one who actually brought him home a copy when he was visiting Japan on business.  According to Kate St John, around the same time that this album was being made, Warner Brothers were considering a US compilation album, but they and the band decided to re-issue their first album, "The Dream Academy". Dominion was a British band from Thornhill, Dewsbury, that played a mix of death metal and doom metal genres.  It featured a female singer, Michelle Richfield, and two male singers, Mass Firth and Arno Cagna.  The band released two albums in the late 1990s on Peaceville Records and then split up.  Drummer Bill Law temporarily played in My Dying Bride.  Richfield and North later formed the band Sear.  Firth now plays in the death metal band Nailed.  In 2006 their former record label Peaceville decided to release an 18 track compilation album entitled Threshold A Retrospective.  This featured songs from the albums Interface and Blackout, in addition to songs that were earlier released on the Under the Sign of the Sacred Star Peaceville compilation album.  A version of the Tears For Fears song "Shout", originally released on the Peaceville X album, has now gone on to be a classic in metal clubs across the UK.  This 2006 release got great reviews in the press, and saw Dominion getting a KKKK (out of a possible 5K's) review in Kerrang!  magazine, hailing the band as "Brit Metal Pioneers and a criminally overlooked band".  Furthermore, the track Release which originally featured on the album Blackout was to appear on a cover mount CD for the magazine Metal Hammer.  The band has received significant positive attention in the decade after their demise. The Hits Collection is a compilation album by Kim Wilde.  The album was released on March 6, 2006.  Originally the album was intended to be a repackaged version of the 1996 compilation "Best of Kim Wilde".  When the album was announced, the webmaster of Wilde's fansite contacted EMI and asked if it would be a better idea to release a new compilation of Wilde's EMI "first" years 1981-1983 instead.  EMI agreed, and so this compilation came to be.  It included Wilde's 1982 track "Bitter Is Better", which had not been released in the UK until this CD.  This compilation assembled the first eight singles of Wilde's career (tracks 1-8) as well as their respective B-sides (tracks 9 through 16) in chronological order; filling up the track order are the aforementioned unreleased track as well as the two 12" A-sides of that time-frame. The Demonstration Archive 1996 - 1998 is a compilation album by Agalloch featuring music from the band's unsigned years from 1996 to 1998.  Tracks 1 through 3 were taken from Agalloch's first demo from 1997, "From Which of This Oak"; tracks 4 through 6 were from an unreleased 7" vinyl EP recorded in autumn 1998 called "Of Stone, Wind and Pillor" (later released as a limited-edition CD with bonus tracks by The End Records); and tracks 7 and 8 came from Agalloch's second demo "Promo 1998". Agalloch ( ) was an American heavy metal band from Portland, Oregon.  Formed in 1995 by frontman John Haughm, they released five full-length albums, four EPs, two singles, one split single, two demos, four compilation albums and one live video album.  They announced their disbandment in May 2016. Compendium: The Best of Patrick Street is the second compilation album by the Irish folk band Patrick Street, released in 2000 on the Green Linnet label. The Compendium Archive 1996 - 2006 is a compilation album by American metal band Agalloch.  It was released through Licht Von Dämmerung Arthouse on March 20, 2010.

Best of Both Worlds is a two-disc compilation album by British neo-progressive rock band Marillion released in 1997 by EMI Records, who the band had been signed to from their debut in 1982 until being dropped in 1995.  The title refers to Marillion's two distinct "eras" with lead singers Fish (1980—1988) and Steve Hogarth (since 1989).  By the time this compilation was released, both line-ups had recorded four studio albums each.  The second best-of since the 14-track one-disc compilation "A Singles Collection" (known as "Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other "in the US) from 1992, this one additionally contains material from "Brave "(1994) and "Afraid of Sunlight" (1996).  Two different covers were created for the compilation, one by Mark Wilkinson, who had worked for the band during the Fish years, and one by Bill Smith Studio, who took over after Fish's and Wilkinson's departure.  The booklet was printed so that either of the covers could be displayed in the jewel case according to personal preference.  The track list, comprising 29 songs, was put together by Lucy Jordache, then the manager responsible for the band in EMI, in close collaboration with the band's fans' mailing list, "Freaks" (named after the eponymous song).  Jordache also motivated singers Fish and Hogarth to contribute liner notes—at a time when both camps were not yet on friendly terms again—by telling each of them the other had already agreed to do so.
