Personal note: The first Church album I bought and only knew one song but this started my appreciation for the band. Seminal and engrained truly in Australian post-punk and rock history, this album shows Kilbey's great songwriting and the influence this band would have on generations of Aussie musicians.

Uh, I really need to listen to more of them. I've only heard 2 albums and they were both great. Haven't they got like over 20 albums?

Untitled #23 was their last release, hence 23 albums. Not counting live or compilations.

I agree but as noted, this isn't the best, just an interesting selection.

However, I prefer Priest=Aura over Magician Among The Spirits.
