Prelude 1 is the strongest of the three.

It's not wrong to pick up a 4 years old omnibus album. The bands of the CD are disbanded but it doesn't mean that they are not worth the money. I found that CD to be really good, and even today.

The best thing with these Matina omnibus album are the special songs on it. Their are some Matina bands which still selling their CDs today. For example, Zephyr is one of those bands who still selling their first maxi-single Primary Colours on HMV.

But songs like kyuuen no tsuki is some of those secret songs that you never found on their official CDs. There are more secret songs on Prelude 1 than on Prelude 2.
