Culling material from
Everything But the Girl's first ten years as a band (from the
Eden/
Everything But the Girl stage through
Amplified Heart),
The Works is a three-disc, 58-song (well, 55 plus three remixes) that thoroughly recaps everything the group based itself on.
The Works expands upon
Home Movies, pretty much overlapping the latter's selection and then building upon it, and also including ten songs from
Amplified Heart, which
Home Movies ignores. For any
EBTG fan who already has the group's albums, this compilation doesn't really offer much in new material, but it's a great way to catch up on what they were without having to commit to nine full-lengths.
