Product Description

CD Description
In their own way, Pavement changed the face of '90s rock just as much as Nirvana, at least for those with an ear closerto the ground of the indie scene. In fact, they virtually defined the indie scene for that decade, and their first full-length album SLANTED AND ENCHANTED was the non-anthem of slacker rock. For years after its release, every hip indie band seemed to imitate Pavement's Fall-influenced, off-kilter sound and post-functional, obscurantist lyrical approach.
The 10th anniversary of the record's release occasioned thisspecial deluxe two-disc edition. Besides the original album, we get a healthy dose of rarities from this phase of the band's career, including radio sessions, outtakes, unreleasedtracks, and a generous helping of live cuts. Though there are few revelations here, as the rare cuts sound pretty much of a piece with the classic album, the quality level is consistently high, both in terms of sound and songs. Any of the countless geeks who were instantly transformed into hipstersupon hearing "Summer Babe" or "Conduit For Sale" should be overjoyed at the abundance of prime Pavement on offer here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Sound Forever, 10 Nov 2002
By octophone (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
  
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, 11 Nov 2002
By J. Ayre - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars slanted & enchanted, divine and twisted, 11 Nov 2002
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?
