Theo,
        The Media Play at Shoppingtown Mall has "Levitation".  I agree with
Mike that it's one of the best BOC->HW transition albums.  I started out with
Hall Of The Mountain Grill, which I don't think is sold anywhere around Syracuse
anymore.  After HotMG, I've ended up getting Doremi, Quark, 25 Years On,
Levitation, Chronicles, the Spirit of the Age comp., and Alien 4.  All of these
are good IMHO, but the singing style on Quark and 25 Years On took a little
while to get used to.  Good luck!
