Biography

PAVEMENT.

Pavement mark the point when post-punk turned into alternative rock. When their first EP, Slay Tracks (1933-1969), was released in 1989, it sparked a back-to-the-garage movement in the American underground. While there were a number of hardcore and punk bands in the U.S. during the late '80s, Pavement brought guitar pop back into the underground lexicon. Combining ringing ...

5.0 out of 5 stars slanted & enchanted, divine and twisted 11 Nov 2002
By "shakydates"
Format:Audio CD
A trip back to the halcyon days of yore. We all remember when this first came out and the arguments that ensued as to whether the flexi of 'My First Mine' was more valuable than the 10" of 'Perfect Sound Forever' etc. etc. This is the vastly aggrandised version of the album that started off all that lonely fanatical fervour.

The album remains a wonderful cacophony of influence from The Velvets and The Fall to the Pixies and Only Ones. There are a plethora of great tunes but, oddly enough, it's perhaps the most patchy of the Pavement albums - a reflection on the haphazard way in which it was recorded and (eventually) released. Nonetheless, it remains a timeless record of a catchy tunesmith with obtuse yet immediate lyrics in the guise of a garage rock band, en route to being the most important band of the 1990s.

There's no question that this is a must-buy (unless you own Stray Slack and the Garrulous 7"s) - 34 extra tracks, including the first 2 Peel Sessions and their entire gig in support of Sonic Youth at the Brixton Academy in 1992 (great version of Summer Babe). What are you waiting for?

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Sound Forever 10 Nov 2002
By octophone VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Special edition albums stink. Adding 3 b-sides and a video is no reason to ask people to part with their money all over again. This is how it should be done.

A brilliant representation of an acknowledged classic, "Luxe & Reduxe" takes the best option for such a project and creates a time capsule of the period 91-92. Thus we get the whole album (of course!), the odd unheard outtake or compilation track, b-sides from the singles, the whole "Watery Domestic" EP, 2 radio sessions almost entirely comprised of unissued songs and a cracking live date from the tail end of the period in question, charting their journey from 2 school friends and the studio owner to a fully fledged band, thrilling audiences whereever they went. Superbly presented with a thick and informative booklet, this is everything you could ask for from a reissue. Excellent work from a group who, even when disbanded, are showing the way. Here's hoping the group's other album will eventually get the same treatment. Magnificent, buy with confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mid-tempo Euphoric Excess c. 1992 10 Nov 2002
By J. Ayre
Format:Audio CD
If you wanna party like it's 1992, then this, my friend, is a double barrel blast of mid-tempo indie sputter cut just for you. The core S-n-E LP is presented here with much better sound [you'll notice the bass lines you’ve never heard...] w/o interfering with that classic sound. Beyond that, you get quite a good deal more: The Watery Domestic EP [compact bliss]; some Peel Sessions, the orig Summer Babe 7-inch -- with the jaw dropping Baptist Blacktick track, the Sue ME Jack 7-in and a slew of live tracks that bound to make you remember how much fun it was to see Gary do handstands across the stage -- and possibly into drums.

I just wish I'd bought this album earlier in my life. It's rare that you find so many addictive hooks coming from one band. Read more

Challenging stuff this and an album I really had to persevere with. Eventually the tunes start emerging from the ether and like muck, they stay stuck. A lo-fi work of art. Read more
