| | Camper Vantiquities CD Camper Van Beethoven Discography of CDs
All songs written or co-written by members of Camper Van Beethoven except "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" (Ray Davies), "Porpoise Mouth" (Joe McDonald), "Six More Miles To The Graveyard" (Hank Williams) and "Photograph" (George Harrison/Richard Starkey).
CAMPER VANTIQUITIES contains cover songs, outtakes and demos recorded between 1984 and 1988, along with all of the band's 1987 EP, VAMPIRE CAN MATING OVEN. It also includes track-by-track annotations and discographies for Camper Van Beethoven, Monks Of Doom, Cracker and Jonathan Segel.
CAMPER VANTIQUITIES is a collection of rarities, outtakes, and B-sides (including the excellent VAMPIRE CAN MATING OVEN EP), and is compiled from material recorded in the mid-1980s (but released by IRS in '93). Nevertheless, it displays a focus and sophistication (especially in the significant songwriting chops of David Lowery) not evident on the band's earlier, zanier releases. In this way, the album looks ahead to the clarity Camper would achieve on OUR BELOVED REVOLUTIONARY SWEETHEART and KEY LIME PIE.
"Never Go Back" and "Seven Languages" show Lowery's development in the way the songs marry narrative to hooks. The lazy country of "Guardian Angels," the electro-new wave of "Ice Cream Everyday," and the warped, Eastern European folk of "Processional" prove the band had lost none of its facility for stylistic whiplash. Titles like "We Workers Do Not Understand Modern Art" and "We Eat Your Children" confirm that the band's quirky humor is fully intact. CAMPER VANTIQUIES is an intriguing sampler of a band en route from slap-dash underground beginnings to establishing an assured voice.

Contains a Camper Van Beethoven/Cracker/Monks Of Doom discography.
"Good Guys and Bad Guys," the opener on Camper Van Beethoven's self-titled third album, is one of those songs that makes you feel like you're 16, in love, tan, carefree, and intoxicated. For anyone interested in accessing these feelings regularly, CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN is worth purchasing for this track alone. Fortunately, there is plenty of other fun to be had here (and if this eclectic California ensemble is anything, it's fun). Country, ska, punk, folk, Balkan dance, and experimental noise are mixed with art-school ambition and grade-school levity in a way that somehow ...
