CD Description
'Up To Now' collects some of the finest moments from Snow Patrol's lengthy career. This warts and all compilation not only features some of the band's biggest hits including 'Run'and 'Chasing Cars' but delves back into their beginnings when the band were just a fledgling indie act signed to Jeepster Records. Tracks from their five studio albums as well as Gary Lightbody's side-project, the Scottish super group The Reindeer Section, sit amongst three brand new songs as well as live tracks, b-sides and their much sought after cover ofBeyonce's 'Crazy In Love'.

Customer Reviews

Amazing!
This is so good. All the wonderful sounds of Snow Patrol with some live versions as well. Their sound is haunting and spine-tingling and this album has such a good mix. A piece of class!

Was I too old to really appreciate Snow Patrol?
The answer is a quite obvious and huge NO! No matter your age, if you enjoy well written melodic songs, extremely well performed by musicions who can play proper instruments, with great production, then Snow Patrol are for you. I'm more a Radio 2 listener at my advanced age (60 when I purchased this CD) but surely no-one can have gone through life without hearing the excellent Chasing Cars but there is so much more to this band than that song.

I live alone, I therefore drive alone so with no-one to change the CD's for me I more often than not get to hear all the tracks on an CD swiftly followed by hearing them all again before being able to replace it, which in the case of Snow Patrol means double the pleasure. I have not been disappointed by anything on this double CD, but if you already have their music either via CD or downloaded to your MP3 or whatever you don't need to buy this. Up To Now is a fantastic introduction to this band. It's great value through Amazon and a totally excellent group of musicians for us old(er) rockers who want more than just listening to the bands of our youth. Buy it today!

snow far snow good
A pretty impressive collection on 2 cd's only knew the band from the singles, but the cd has shown me the depth of their work.Could have done without the crazy in love cover, but a minor gripe in what is a very accomplished collection of high quality music.
