"Far Away in Time" was a 1987 CD compilation of tracks by Martha and the Muffins. The compilation consisted of "Metro Music" (the band's first album) in its entirety (tracks 1-10), plus four tracks from "Trance and Dance" (tracks 12-16), two tracks from "This is the Ice Age" (tracks 17-18), and the non-album single "Insect Love" (track 11).

The album was compiled without any input from the band [http://www.thecia.net/users/hamilton/muffins/history.html] , and the poorly-researched liner notes by Mick Wall (in the 1993 re-issue) contain numerous errors about the history of the band's various line-ups, as well as several errors about the origins of the tracks on this compilation. The correct information is listed above.
