Brighter/Later: A Duncan Sheik Anthology
Literate and soulful, singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik became an iconic modern rock star with his charismatic self-titled 1996 debut album.  More than simply a 'best of', this collection thematically groups hits, favorites, and personal picks into the more energetic set featured on `Brighter', Disc 1 and mellower, more introspective pieces on 'Later Disc 2.  A longtime Buddhist, Sheik's questing spirit and keen sense of supple pop-rock pleasure strike an inspired zen balance on Anthology.
