| | Sonic Youth Daydream Nation CD Sonic Youth Discography of CDs
The double album that brought Sonic Youth to the attention of a wider audience and prompted the eager interest of a handful of major labels. DAYDREAM NATION, with its sleepy single candle flickering silently on the gatefold cover, harnessed their reckless live favourite, "Teenage Riot," while they ran gloriously roughshod over "Rain King" and "Silver Rocket," and offered the overtly camp glee of "Trilogy," which came with parts a, b and c. Their assured ascension to festival billing and the giant Geffen label came as no surprise to anyone who had heard this album.
Additional Tracks; Deluxe Edition
Recorded at Greene Street Recording, New York, New York in July and August 1988. Originally released as a 2-LP set on Enigma (5403). Includes liner notes by Jutta Koether.

| | Television Marquee Moon CD (1977) Remastered; Digipak
Daydream Nation
$10.89 New York's 1970s punk was markedly different to that of Britain. Rather than reject the past, American groups deconstructed its forms and rebuilt them with recourse to the music's strengths. Television's leader, Tom Verlaine, professed admiration for Moby Grape and the folk rock of early Fairport Convention. Elements of the latter appear on this album's title track, which offers a thrilling instrumental break, built upon a modal scale. Verlaine's shimmering guitar style provides the set's focus, but his angular compositions are always enthralling. A sense of brooding mystery envelops the proceedings, and Marquee Moon retains ...
| | Sonic Youth Goo CDs (1990) Remastered; Deluxe Edition; Digipak; Special Edition
Daydream Nation
$19.59 GOO was Sonic Youth's major label debut and allowed the band to blend its skewed sense of aesthetic and cultural criticism into a more understandable stab at pop culture. GOO unleashed the band's ability to create monster riffs out of fuzzy, unlikely tunings, while bringing their once aloof songwriting into a more pop-sensitive light.
GOO's stunning collection of material once again highlighted Sonic Youth's unique writing talents. "Dirty Boots" and "Mary Christ" showed Thurston Moore's delicious slant on rock ...

GREENDALE 2ND EDITION includes a different DVD and different artwork from the original GREENDALE.
This release includes a bonus DVD entitled INSIDE GREENDALE, which contains behind-the-scenes footage of the GREENDALE recording session.
Critics were sharply divided over this album, some hailing it as a masterpiece and some dismissing it as a tossed-off trifle. Longtime Young fans will notice right away that GREENDALE's raw, minimalistic sound and quirky songs hearken back to such gloriously off-kilter 1970s releases as ZUMA and TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. This is a "concept album," but it's one of the few instances in rock history where those words needn't send audiences fleeing in the opposite direction. Young's rare combination of deceptively effortless, organic narrative and unpredictable strangeness keep things flowing, and there are valuable moments of humor sprinkled throughout to keep GREENDALE from getting weighed down.
Crazy Horse guitarist Poncho Sampedro is absent, leaving Young backed only by the primal thump of Billy Talbot and Ralph Molina, but a number ...

Daydream Nation
$10.45 Singer/songwriter Mike Mangione strikes a delicate balance between his alt-country and indie-folk contemporaries, and the more mainstream, classic rock style of the likes of Lucinda Williams or Ray LeMontagne. TENEBRAE blends the two seemingly divergent styles so neatly on tracks like "Waiting For No One" and "I'm Sorry Again" that the album seems as if it would appeal equally to fans of John Mellencamp and Tom Petty on the one hand, and Wilco and Lambchop on the other.
Tenebrae is the latest work from singer-songwriter, Mike Mangione and his band. Since its release the band has received favorable press form all corners of the country, including the honor of being selected as New York Magazine’s pick of the week in September 2007. Indie Launchpad defines Tenebrae as “a phenomenally great album,” while Indiemusicstop has labeled it “a definite must have for any fan of folk and Indie music genres.” Aside from its life in the press, for the band the album marks a dénouement of sorts, the culmination of a process that began as a search for a subtle, organic, yet dynamic and expressive sound. Born in a northern suburb of Chicago and now residing in Milwaukee, Mangione is no stranger to movement and change. Following the 2005 release of There and Back, which charted CMJ at number 16, Mangione has logged approximately one hundred and fifty shows per year throughout the country including such notable performances as SXSW, Midwest Music Summit, Chicago’s Mobfest, and Milwaukee’s Summerfest. He has opened for performers like ...
