Artist: MEGADETH
Album: WARCHEST (4CD+DVD BOX)

Year: 2007
Media type: CD

A good box-set should offer both a representative cross section for newcomers and enough of interesting material for the fans. Megadeth's "Warchest" featuring more than six hours of music accomplishes both tasks easily. On three Audio-CDs, Dave Mustaine leads through the discography of his band by chronologically picking the highlights since 1985. Enriched are the digitally re-mastered songs with demo-, live- and alternative recordings, soundtrack contributions, like the title track for the "Duke Nukem"-video game, as well as Japanese bonus tracks, like the great "One thing" (1997) and "Coming home" (2001). The fourth CD features the complete London show of the "Clash of the titans"-Tour, 1990, which so far only was available on a bad sounding bootleg. The DVD finally includes another concert of the Speed/Thrash-titans, professionally filmed in the British capital, too.
