MANILA, Philippines - Sony Music has released “Monuments and Melodies,” a two-disc collection of Incubus’ greatest hits and rarities.

The collection is a must for fans of the band whose extraordinary career has spanned over a decade. The first disc includes the band’s biggest hits including 12 Top 10 singles such as Drive, Wish You Were Here and Pardon Me, as well as two brand-new tracks, Black Heart Inertia (now playing on Philippine radio and music channels) and Midnight Swim (both produced by Brendan O’Brien). The second disc consists of rarities that the band has recorded over the years, including a new cover of Prince’s Let’s Go Crazy. Album artwork for “Monuments and Melodies” was designed by lead singer, Brandon Boyd.

A unique password is included in the first few runs of the album, which enables the buyer to upgrade the user’s account at www.enjoyincubus.com and allow them to download most of this incredible material at no cost.

What’s included in The Vault is over 500 pieces of Incubus material that includes over 100 rare or unreleased MP3s, live versions of songs spanning their career, as well as bonus studio tracks previously unavailable. Additionally over 100 rare and unreleased videos, TV appearances, a banned version of Wish You Were Here, and a complete concert from the band’s Dec. 12, 1996 Whiskey performance in Los Angeles are only a small part of the what fans will now have high quality access to. If that isn’t enough to satisfy the most diehard Incubus follower, there is a collection of never before seen images of the band, concert posters and more. Many of the still photos were taken by the band members themselves and are from their private collections.

“Monuments and Melodies,” under Sony Music Philippines, is available at leading record stores nationwide.
