《Sound Effects: 1992-2000》是2001年在英国和日本发行的一张独特专辑。这张专辑并非传统意义上的精选集，因为许多乐队最知名和最受喜爱的歌曲并未收录在内。相反，它收录了如《Tidal Wave》和《Lucky Charm》等歌曲的不同混音和原声版本。这张专辑似乎是为了向国际流行乐坛介绍乐队，有趣的是，它的编排和顺序仿佛是一张正式的《Apples in Stereo》专辑。尽管歌曲按时间顺序排列，但曲目的选择使得整张专辑流畅而连贯，朗朗上口的流行歌曲与如《Strawberryfire》这样的氛围实验交相辉映。乐队的贝斯手John McIntyre和鼓手Hilarie Sidney各自也贡献了一首曲目。所有这些元素赋予了《Sound Effects: 1992-2000》一种令人愉悦的统一感，使其作为乐队魅力的介绍，效果不亚于《Apples in Stereo》的任何正式专辑。Sound Effects: 1992-2000 is an odd little release that came out in England and Japan in 2001. It's not quite a greatest-hits compilation, as many of the band's best-known and most beloved songs aren't even on it, and many of the ones that are ("Tidal Wave" and"Lucky Charm," for example) are present in alternate mixes and acoustic versions. The album seems to be an introduction of the band to the international pop scene; interestingly, it's compiled and sequenced as if it's a proper Apples in Stereo album. Though the songs are all in chronological order, the song choices are such that the album flows like a succinct album, with catchy pop songs sitting next to atmospheric experiments like"Strawberryfire." The group's secondary songwriters, bassist John McIntyre and drummer Hilarie Sidney, each get a track of their own as well. All of this gives Sound Effects: 1992-2000 a pleasing unity that in the long run probably works as well as any of the Apples in Stereo's proper albums as an introduction to the band's immense charms.
