Having only released two albums at the time, it's a sign of the Manchester trio Doves' undeniable talent that they had enough solid material in the vaults to make Lost Sides, this compilation of B-sides and rarities. Tracking the underbelly of the Doves' singles catalogue, it's laced with class-A marvels such as the brooding anthem 'Darker' and the shimmering fairy-tale ambience of 'Zither' from the rare 'Cedar' EP. Doves have delivered an album of off-cuts that will delight fans while humbling their peers. EMI. 2003.
