Issued on Essential in 1994, Shriekback's double-disc Natural History set merely couples The Best of Shriekback: The Infinite (Kaz, 1987) with The Best of Shriekback, Vol. 2: Evolution (Kaz, 1988) under a new name. For the curious, this might be preferable to The Y Records Years (also a two-disc set, released six years later in 2000), since the terrain documented here is more expansive, covering the band from its inception through 1985's Oil and Gold. One major attraction is the number of selections on the second disc culled from the long out of print Jam Science. One major problem will be finding Natural History, as it has gone out of circulation since its release.

Review by Andy Kellman, Allmusic.com

An excellent overview of Shreikbacks back catalogue, featuring the best of their earlier material, from the funky to the fanciful. Sometimes weird but always accessible, this collection contains the essential tracks such as "Cleartrails" and "Madness Into Method" as well as perhaps their best known song "Lined Up", propelled by the stringent, insistent basslines of Dave Allan and the sometimes sinister, sometimes impenetrable lyrics and vocalisations of Barry Andrews. There are also some more atmospheric tracks such as "Despite Dense Weeds" and "Lines from the Library". One of the best, if not completely ignored groups of the '80s, meshing synthesisers with sinewy guitar lines that weave in and out of, and around each other, If you like your music to have a strong backbone then I recommend this set as a worthy introduction to Shreikbacks golden years.
