The key question, isn't it? And one I'm not equipped to answer (my knowledge of them is only the research done for the post). So logically, their newest, On Time, is the one to get. Here's why: none of theirs is pro rated/reviewed on AMG and the reader ratings are only one apiece, prolly done by a rabid fan. Also a check of the Usual Suspect shows only one of their previous offerings and that at a high price. Additionally, the newest showcases their current lineup of tunes and personnel (the band is not known for turnover and the horn charts can be done by anybody equally skilled but why not go with the here-and-now?). And if that gets you sufficiently pumped, contact the band or fan club directly for the previous stuff. Couldn't find a fan club listing but here's the FB page: https://www.facebook.com/mingofishtrap
Real glad you in particular enjoyed this and happy hunting. Remember they have a ton of stuff on YT--purchasing is a nicety but not a necessity--they get nothing from secondary purchases anyway.
