For his second compilation, The Whale wanted to give his own twist to the 'Best Of 2008' theme. He decided to make a retrospect of the gigs that he saw between September and December 2008. Because of this he used the most recent material of each band available to him and decided to keep the bands in the chronological order in which he saw them. Enjoy!
