 (2 Customer Reviews)
This is a remastered and augmented edition of SLANTED AND ENCHANTED featuring the original album, the WATERY DOMESTIC EP, studio outtakes, two John Peel radio sessions from 1992, and a live recording from Brixton Academy. Principally ... Full Descriptionrecorded at Louder Than You Think, Stockton, California; South Makepeace, Brooklyn, New York and Brixton Academy, London, England between December 1990 and December 1992. Includes liner notes by Stephen Malkmus.
In their own way, Pavement changed the face of '90s rock just as much as Nirvana, at least for those with an ear closer to the ground of the indie scene. In fact, they virtually defined the indie scene for that decade, and their first full-length album SLANTED AND ENCHANTED was the non-anthem of slacker rock. For years after its release, every hip indie band seemed to imitate Pavement's Fall-influenced, off-kilter sound and post-functional, obscurantist lyrical approach.
The 10th anniversary of the record's release occasioned this special deluxe two-disc edition. Besides the original album, we get a healthy dose of rarities from this phase of the band's career, including radio sessions, outtakes, unreleased tracks, and a generous helping of live cuts. Though there are few revelations here, as the rare cuts sound pretty much of a piece with the classic album, the quality level is consistently high, both in terms of sound and songs. Any of the countless geeks who were instantly transformed into hipsters upon hearing "Summer Babe" or "Conduit For Sale" should be overjoyed at the abundance of prime Pavement on offer here.
