Over the next thirteen years, the project evolved through multiple lineups and musical directions, drawing in a wide circle of collaborators while maintaining its distinctive voice.\u003cbr\u003eA Temporary Convergence Of Interests [The Disgruntled Best Of] is the first anthology to span the band's entire recorded output, gathering nineteen tracks originally released between 2008 and 2020. Drawn from five releases and supplemented with bonus material, the collection traces the many forms The Incompetents took over the course of their existence, from post-punk and art rock to folk-inflected songwriting and more exploratory excursions.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded primarily at Tunefork Studios in Beirut, the anthology also offers a glimpse into a fertile period for Lebanon's independent music community. Alongside Yared and Tabbal, the recordings feature contributions from Abed Kobeissy, Stéphane Rives, Paed Conca, Maya Aghniadis, Amine Daher, Malek Rizkallah and, on later recordings, Julia Sabra, Pascal Semerdjian and Marwan Tohme of Postcards.\u003cbr\u003eAvailable on vinyl for the first time, A Temporary Convergence Of Interests gathers the story of The Incompetents in a single collection while offering a window onto the community of musicians that surrounded the band throughout its existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003e1 Prelude To An Abyss (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e2 Missing Frequencies (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e3 This Gun For Hire (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e4 Cannibal Blues (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e5 State Of The Union (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e6 Red Antarctica (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e7 It Could Happen To You(2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e8 Emotional Asymmetry(2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e9 Disposable Valentine (Live, 2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e10 Closing Time (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e11 Bullets Gently Flying Over My Head (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e12 What Young Women Ought To Know (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e13 Marash (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e14 Stripped (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e15 2 HJ (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e16 Grey Midas (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e17 Holy Toothbrush (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e18 Breaking Point (2026 Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e19 Your Heart Is Color-Blind(2026 Remaster)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RUPTURED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47218385682588,"sku":"RPTD078","price":30.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/0_cf9d3f2b-9724-451b-8a36-d69272cfee07.webp?v=1784143825","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/the-incompetents-a-temporary-convergence-of-interests-the-disgruntled-best-of","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
