 (2 Customer Reviews)
BEST, VOLUME I contains some wonderful moments, such as the whine of "What Difference Does it Make," the knowing satire of "Girlfriend in a Coma," and the beautiful teenage angst of the acoustic "Half a Person." Also featured is what might possibly be the Smiths' finest moment, the post-modern Bo Diddley guitar-driven shuffle of "How Soon is Now." The subversive "Panic" with its pertinent "hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ" chorus is also a welcome inclusion. This is a valuable compilation, recommended to those interested in sampling some of the delights of one of the '80s most influential British bands.
Consisting mostly of singles and b-sides, this compilation contains 14 good-to-great Smiths tracks. Starting with the early paean to the terminally dandified, "This Charming Man," it covers the entire span of the Smiths' career.
The Smiths: Morrissey (vocals); Johnny Marr (guitar); Andy Rourke (bass); Mike Joyce (drums).
Entertainment Weekly (1/22/93, p.57) - "...The Smiths' sparkling songs about the profound misery of life are an essential pop soundtrack to the '80s..." - Rating: A-
Alternative Press (12/92, p.81) - "..highlights the band at its peak, racing through more slabs of classic Smithery than perhaps even their fans can remember.."

Seattle band Mountain Con's third album is a whirlwind tour through rock trends of the previous three decades, with musical nods given to bands like the Velvet Underground and the Stooges as well as the Beastie Boys, all set against a variety of hip-hop rhythms. "To Infinity" uses the riff from the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" as a template for its sonic explorations, while the Velvets-inspired "The Escape Artist" propels the band into garage punk territory.
â€Ĺ"Always one of the most likely bands to be the next â€Ĺ"it” from Seattle. If this record doesn’t do it, there is something wrong with this world.” â€' John Richards, KEXP 90. 3FMMountain Con is a poster child for the current cataclysmic upheaval underway in the music industry. Here is a band that, on their newest album Sancho Panza, record themselves, produce themselves, mix themselves and promote themselves. Like many groups these days (such as The Arctic Monkeys and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) Mountain Con aren't waiting around for the music business to get over its identity crisis--they are taking matters into their own hands. It was a hard fought battle to get to the position of artistic autonomy they find themselves in now. There were big time LA producers, hot up-and-coming labels and a publishing deal with one of the big four. It would sound as if they had it made, yet a few years ago Mountain Con found themselves in a state of utter music biz limbo--shelved, ignored and lost in a holding pattern. For Mountain Con, going it alone was a natural move. They have always been the outsiders, both nationally and within the local ...
