Who are ghostly and what do they do?
Electronic music mostly...there are a few outliers. Tycho and Beacon are on Ghostly. Mary Lattimore is a harpist on Ghostly. I always liked Solvent. Adult may be on Ghostly too, can't remember. Reading that they were including two compliations sounded like a sad trombone in my head.

It’s probably not gonna be your bag. It might be the premier indie electronic label originally based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan (Go Wolverines!). Some of my favorite artists they have released music for include Com Truise, Matthew Dear, and Telefon Tel Aviv.
The label also is kinda a lifestyle brand. I find their store to be kinda interesting as I enjoy their design aesthetic but most of their stuff is a bit pricey.

It’s the anthology even if it is my bag it’s not my bag, I was just curious. I have never heard of any of the acts you mention and am rolling my eyes at the pun tastic names...

It's awesome that Motown got Daft Punk to join Syreeta for that She's Leaving Home cover. Those robots figured out time travel I see. But in all seriousness, this Syreeta is incredible. So far it's the gem of the Anthology for me. This is why I willingly bought it, to find music like this that I normally wouldn't give a glance towards. She is great.

Yeah, that was my initial reaction to Com Truise too but I still managed to enjoy his music it’s all instrumental electronic with a retro bent sounds like the soundtrack to a bad ‘80’s sci-fi movie, not too different to “Stranger Things” soundtracks (though Com Truise was around before all that became a thing).

Storf wasn't kidding when he said the next one would be a big departure.

I definitely won’t be grabbing this Ghostly box set! Waiting until VMP do something similar to the Motown or Blue Note Box Set again! Hoping that the 4th Anthology Series we get is Stax!

From the artwork this seems like a electronic/ambient label?

Oh for sure, I just assumed Someone that wasn’t familiar with Ghostly probably wasn’t going to be familiar with S U R V I V E.to be fair, so were S U R V I V E

I know you are being sarcastic. But still, I don’t have FOMO!
Doesn’t make a difference if I am missing a series in the VMP Anthology box set!
I’ll probably throw out the packaging of the box sets anyway in the future.....

While not for me, I give VMP credit for going a different route on #3. Don't worry everyone, they will get back to mining the jazz/soul vein with #4.

Thank goodness it’s out of my musical wheelhouse. Didn’t need to come off another $300 at the moment.
