Description:
Further to last year's release of the Hunters albums Natural Selection (hit singles) and Unnatural Selection (great album tracks), comes the final part of the trilogy. Mutations brings together 17 of the band's best rarities and B sides on the one album, many of them on CD for the very first time.

"Of all the recent Hunters retrospectives this is the most compelling. It speaks volumes about the band's capacity to re-invent itself year after year whilst driving the songs home through constant touring. Listening to this material again after so many years, I am staggered by the diversity. Try marrying "Yes Man" with "Pocket". How songs like "The Trade Off" or "Another One Like you" didn't make it on to albums seems beyond rational explanation.

Hunters and Collectors was a powerful artistic community where decisions were often made in the highly charged atmosphere of studio control rooms. Above all, this collection lends testimony to the sheer "We'll Try Anything" attitude that kept the band alive for so long. And ponder this thought: In the contemporary Australian Musical landscape, Hunters and Collectors would be impossible."

Mark Seymour, 2005.
