V/A: Alternative Pop Songs
This double CD compilation was released by EMI in 2005. It focuses on singles by ‘alternate’ pop bands from their catalogue. The second disc features the song ‘Absent Friends’ by The Divine Comedy.The front cover show a pictures of a girl in a laundry with melancholia. The back of the booklet actually show the same picture in a kind of polaroid with the note ‘Absent Friends…’ as a reference to the Divine Comedy song which may have been a little favourite of the team who compiled the tracks.
