5.0 out of 5 stars Low's outtakes better than most bands' intakes, 26 Jul 2004
This set is so good it's frightening. In fact, I can only bring myself to listen to 1 CD per week - rationing myself, deferring gratification, protecting my aging self from over-excitement, call it what you will.

This is wise music, brave music, music so deep it can hypnotise you. And it's funny too - I love the moment in Open Arms on disc 2 where Alan's angelic voice breaks and he laughs in mid-note. Oh Jesus, stop reading this and buy this incredible bargain now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Box Set Low...., 1 Jun 2005
By Jason Parkes "We're all Frankies'" (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
'A Lifetime of Temporary Relief' collects pretty much everything Low released in a non-album sense over a decade, taking in many hard to find joys and offering up a fourth-disc which is a double-sided DVD with promos etc on. 'A Lifetime...' is wonderfully put together, with great artwork and sleeve-notes packed with rarities and alternate-versions of tracks familiar from albums such as 'Secret Name' & 'Long Division.'

Too many songs to detail here- but there are some of the finest Low-songs I've heard present- 'Tomorrow One', 'Peanut Butter Toast and American Bandstand','Joan of Arc','Try Try Try', 'Don't Drop the Baby' & 'Because You Stood Still.' There are some wonderful alternate versions of songs I was previously familiar with- a synth-heavy version of 'I Remember' (which I prefer to the original), a demo of 'Prisoner' & a demo of 'Will the Night.'

Alongside the many great self-composed tracks, there are a wealth of cover-versions- Low being renowned for taking others songs and melding them round their distinctive sound. The strong cover-versions here include 'Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me' (The Smiths), 'I Started a Joke' (The Bee Gees), 'Heartbeat' (Wire), 'Fearless' (Pink Floyd'), 'Open Arms' (Journey!!), 'Blowin'in the Wind' (Bob Dylan),'Lord, Can You Hear Me?' (Spacemen 3), 'Surfer Girl' (The Beach Boys) & 'Back Home Again' (John Denver). Some of these cover-versions seem superior to the original- I particularly love The Smiths' cover, of a song I rank as one of their finest, particularly when the vocals come together, then reduce down to one-vocal again- the vocal-approach mirroring the theme of the song...

'A Lifetime of Temporary Relief' is an excellent collection of tracks, and a compilation up there with Yo La Tengo's 'Prisoners of Love', Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' 'B-Sides', Belle and Sebastian's 'Push Barman...' & The Replacements' 'All for Nothing/Nothing at All.'

5.0 out of 5 stars there's never been a better time to explore Low..., 8 Jul 2004
I agree with the review above - as a Low fan who has witnessed their intense live experience, bought all the albums and fumbled together various CD singles (many of which are represented here), this represents a terrific, exciting opportunity to get the whole picture (with the exception of the Exit Paper Soundtrack, which is kind of a Holy Grail for Low fans). Low are one of those ultra-humble bands you actually feel you could 'hang' with in your local or - if you're a bit older - chill in the park while your respective kids play at the swings. They are a remarkably likeable band - and their songs reflect that. If you're the kind of person who can read a book to the end or sit down for more than two minutes without using your mobile phone, you ought to like Low - if you like Nick Drake or the Cowboy Junkies, likewise. The Low style is a real slow-burner style - and it wasn't surprising they covered the Pink Floyd song 'Fearless' or The Smiths 'Last Night I dreamt that somebody loved me' so well. If you wish to purchase a Low album that might tell you whether you'll like this - try Things We Lost In the Fire or Secret Name. But, be warned, if you do like what you hear, you'll start a love affair you'll never quit!
