Eternity Road: Reflections of Lowlife 85-95 is a compilation album released in 200. It serves as an introduction to the band and spanned their entire career. All Music Guide gave the album "4.5" stars (out of 5) and noted, "Eternity Road taken as a whole is so shockingly good that it's practically astonishing at how the group never gained greater attention or cachet during its lifetime -- in retrospect they easily deserve mention alongside groups like The Sound and The Chameleons." Lowlife were formed in Grangemouth 1985 when original Cocteau Twins bassist Will Heggie joined former Dead Neighbours members Craig Lorentsen, Grant McDowell and Stuart Everest. Their atmospheric, moody soundscapes were often compared to Joy Division, New Order, Comsat Angels and - yes - The Cocteau Twins, yet the band received widespread acclaim over the course of six albums released through indie label Nightshift. Contemporary reviews praised "a new form of beauty" (Melody Maker), "immaculate angst" (Music Week) and "music that readily sets the nerve ends on edge" (Q) 'Eternity Road' compiles stand-out tracks from all the albums (selected by the band), as well as non-album singles including 'Hollow Gut' and 'Eternity Road'. Several tracks are exclusive to this compilation, including a rare covermount version of Ramafied.
