Product description

Daydream Nation was Sonic Youth's sixth and final album for
Blast First before leaving for Geffen. Widley considered to be Sonic
Youth's watershed moment, Daydream Nation catapulted them into the
mainsteream and proved indie bands could enjoy wide commercial success
without compromising their artistic vision.

Disc One features the original 1988 album, remastered under the band's
supervision. From the anthemic Teen Age Riot to Eric's Trip, Total Trash,
Candle and Cross The Breeze, Daydream Nation contains some of Sonic Youth's
best known songs.

Disc One closes with the bonus track Eric's Trip- Demo Version.

The Live Daydream Disc Two is comprised largely of previously unreleased
tracks culled from the Daydream Nation Tour which were recorded at CBGB's
in New York, The Paradiso in Amsterdam and various other European and
American cities.

Disc Two ends with 4 bonus studio tracks :

Within You, Without You - a cover of the Beatles classic recorded for the
NME Beatles Tribute CD.

Computer Age - from the Neil Young tribute album, The Bridge

Electricity - from the Captian Beefehart tribute album, Fast and Bulbous

Touch me, I'm Sick - a cover version of the Mudhoney song released as a 7"
single on Sub Pop

5.0 out of 5 stars DELUXE EDITION - FTW!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2011
I would recommend the deluxe version of this album - The live disc itself is previously unreleased. - Recorded in the usa 1988-1989-
It's a crystal clear recording that really shows the band off in their full glory with minimal audience interference & even though the performances are taken from several shows it comes over cohesive in terms of sound quality.

Daydream itself sounds mighty & for me & Sonic yoth ,,,

This is really as good as it gets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expanded edition of a true seminal album
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2007
With the original release of Daydream Nation in 1988 Sonic Youth showed that music , or more specifically what was categorised then as indie music was on the cusp of some temporal shift . Here the energy of punk and it's sonic attack were to be assimilated into more diffuse sounds and textures or as Thurston Moore put it "anger and distaste, attributes associated with punk energy where coolly replaced by head in the clouds outer limits brilliance". Absolutely no modesty aside Sonic Youth with Daydream Nation almost hit the peak of this movement -"a new aesthetic of youth culture" before it really began .
"Teenage " Riot" a wondrous blitzkrieg of blurred chords and woozy percussive force would have become a clarion call to arms if the vocals hadn't sound like they were sung (mumbled ) under a duvet. That sense of the calm in the eye of a storm encapsulates this album and also the person it was written as a tribute to -J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. "Silver Rocket" is an all out speaker blaster , with a ferocious thrilling riff while "Cross The Breeze" comes over all wistful at the beginning before turning all grind house hardcore .
The album though isn't that straight forward a rock album. For a start the lyrics are by turns oblique , occasionally elegiac, often antagonistic and the guitars veer from whiteout blur to light-headed boogie to chiming like a crystal decanter tumbling off a sugar toffee bell.
The use of three vocalists exacerbates the often disorientating effects of the music, but paradoxically enhances the albums quixotic qualities while blending it together into a cohesive work. Kim Gordon
with her effortless cool as f*** vocals contrast nicely with Moore's groggy unfocused tones while Lee Ronaldo can't sing for toffee ,or indeed a nice bon bon. What I'm getting at is this album should be complete mess but somehow it hangs together fluently.
Hence the entirely typical hazy chords of "Total Thrash" for this album run into the paean to Joni Mitchell "Hey Joni" which monetarily kicks the album to another level of intensity then runs into the bizarre "Providence" which features a piano solo played by Moore at his mothers house and recorded on a walkman ,some slightly disturbing distortion and tapes of Mike Watts calling from a payphone dubbed over each other. "The Sprawl" inspired by the writings of William Gibson is suitably looser than most of the material while "Kissability" is an acid dripped lambasting of the entertainment industry. The closing trilogy of songs "Wonder" , "Hyperstation" "Eliminator JR" and the superb "Candle" all shift the sonic palette around while maintaining that scuffed dissonance and electric timbre.
The extra live tracks are interesting though I'm not convinced many will return to them much .It ,s the four covers that most piqued my interest with the decidedly lively version of Mahoney's "Touch Me I'm Sick" the most convincing. The demo of "Erics Trip" is cursory fare. As is currently fashionable with CD re-masters it has been set at extra LOUD and an unfortunate consequence of this is that the sound has been flattened out a little so dedicated audiophiles may like to hang on to their vinyl copies or even original CD copies.
Daydream Nation is a truly seminal album and I do use that word accordingly, and one that still sounds original , exigent and just a little exciting all these years down the line. Compared to the majority of guitar based music around nowadays it s a Mount Olympus of an album and the fact that it stood out at a time when rock music was in the midst of seismic and almost revolutionary upheaval with bands like The Pixies ,Butthole Surfers, Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr to name but a few says it all really. Anyone who considers themselves a fan of rock music should make a space on their shelf's for Daydream Nation and if its the expanded edition , then all the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a revolutionary album...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2007
Originally released in 1988, before Sonic Youth had signed to Geffen, and they were still knee-deep in harsh noise-punk, "Daydream Nation" was, even then, seen as an incredible record, one that would net them a major label, and, nearly 20 years later, it hasn't lost any of its quality. Opener "Teenage Riot" is still full of rock 'n' roll swagger, and the furious "Silver Rokcet" packs a heavy punch. "The Sprawl", along with "Total Trash" shows the band's skill for jazz-like improvisation, and "'Cross The Breeze" showcases Kim Gordon's most intense vocal performance. "Candle" and "Kissability" are perfect pop songs, "Eric's Trip", "Hey Joni", and "Rain King" are bolstered along by Lee Ranaldo's almost story-telling delivery. Hell, even "Providence" (a piano solo, over-heating amp and answering machine messages) manages to excite. It all ends with "Trilogy", a 14-minute epic, that shows the band were never afraid to go all-out and aim to thrill. All this, along with a new disc of the entire album played live, makes it worthy to anyone - a big Sonic Youth fan; someone who's listened to the record maybe once before - maybe even 20 years ago; someone who only knows Sonic Youth by "Teenage Riot" or "Bull In The Heather"; or maybe someone who's only just heard of the band. This is still a revolutionary album, and deserves to be a part of your collection, if it already isn't.

I've owned this album for a long time & after seeing Sonic Youth perform Daydream Nation a few years ago at the Greek, I was blown away. That show was probably the most impressive music performance I've ever seen. Yet, the show the package with the album, which isn't remixed or anything, isn't that great. It starts off good but is kind of boring. I wish they had included a performance from when they played it all the way through because it was WAY better. If there's a bootleg out there of it, please let me know because I'd love to get one.

Llegó atrasado, pero se contactaron conmigo para hacerme saber aquellos problemas. Muy atentos, se preocupan mucho del cliente, sin embargo, el producto llegó con el slipcase dañado, y considerando el precio al que se me vendió el producto (cerca de 40 euros), esperaba que llegara en mejores condiciones.

Ambos discos llegaron bien por lo menos... y cuando hablamos de Sonic Youth, hablamos de material de calidad, y qué decir de su mejor álbum... sólo elogios.
