Its landscape is of the Fall and compilation tapes alongside poetry gigs and research into Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
(In a reflection of the reality of niche culture, To the Fallen's compilations are genre-specific: one rock, one country, one hip-hop).
In its second week of charting, the compilation fell to the position of number five selling 85,000 copies with a decrease of 25% of the previous sales.
Certain genres have always fallen foul of chart compilation etiquette, and as we move forward, there will continue to be anomalies.
The latest "NOW That's What I Call Music!" compilation (Universal/EMI/Sony/Zomba) falls from No. 1 to No. 5. PHIL SWEETLAND.
These 'historical' data are compared with a compilation of falling sphere measurements performed in the last ∼10 years from the Andøya Rocket Range (69°N).
Compilation... compilers?
Shadows Fall have released seven studio albums, two compilation albums, and two DVDs.
Barring a minuscule uptick in 2007, compilation album sales have been falling steadily since 2004, when 39m were sold: iTunes arrived in the UK that year, allowing consumers for the first time to buy just the tracks they wanted.
"Now 42," a compilation, lost 31 percent of its sales, falling one spot to No. 4 with 65,000; Norah Jones's "Little Broken Hearts" (Blue Note), which opened last week at No. 2, lost 46 percent, dropping to No. 5 with 60,000.
