Tristan Garel-Funk formed Snake Corps in 1984 out of the ashes of the (then) broken up Sad Lovers and Giants. He recruited singer Marc Lewis and started a successful musical partnership that lasted the best part of a decade. The music was direct as it was beautiful, dark as it was accessible. The band had a harder edge than Tristan s previous project but retained his distinctive guitar sound at their heart. Although never breaking through in England at the time they attracted much attention abroad and sold well not just in Europe but also all over the world. They have continued to sell records and attract new fans long after their early demise. This is a long overdue revamp of their 1996 best of, with specially designed new sleeve and revamped booklet with new sleeve notes and pictures.
