Inspired by the Platinum Collection I decided to make my own anthology.
Here's the front cover:

The back-cover:

And the 'booklet':

Unlike the Platinum album, my compilation features every album Mike made between '73 and '03, and it spends roughly 10 minutes on each one.
The excerpts from the longer compositions were chosen in such a way that it's hard to tell that it's an excerpt, that is: no in- or outfades, just looking for the right spots to start and finish. For example, the excerpt from Ommadawn starts at 8:17, and continues to the end, and the excerpt of Incantations starts at 6.17 to the end. Only in the case of Hergest Ridge I had to make a fade out.

The album starts off with the first 16 or so minutes of TB part 1, and ends with Russian and Finale of Tubular Bells 2003, so it works nicely as a whole.

What do you think?

That really is a very special and well put together compilation, for me the name is the LEAST GOOD thing about it.

Well done :)

I agree on that, the title was actually the hardest part.

First I was thinking about simply calling it 'thirty', spelled as XXX. But as that's already incorporated in the design, it might not be clear that it's the title as well.

So, can anyone think of a better title for this compilation?

(And thanks for the positive feedback! :) )
