This double-disc set is a near-flawless introduction to New Zealand-based noise rockers the Dead C. Collecting key tracks from the band's many (now obscure) releases over the years, the set is as much a journey through the deep undergound of '90s indie rock as it is a look at the Dead C's evolution as noise merchants. With releases on such legendary imprints as Flying Nun, Xpressway, Forced Exposure, and of course the mighty Siltbreeze, the Dead C were bonafide undergound heros.
Of course, they would be nothing if not for the music. Early tracks such as "Max Harris," "Hell is Now," "and "Constellation" come across like extremeley lo-fi, less disciplined takes on SISTER-era Sonic Youth, and while that may sound less than desirable, it is in fact close to heavenly. The later cuts featured on disc two find the Dead C in a no less adventurous mode but utilizing a more cerebral, studied approach to improvisational noisemaking, as on the precision drone of "Voodoo Spell" from 1995's WHITE HOUSE LP. The band's vast catalog is worth investigating in its entirety, but VAIN ERUDITE AND STUPID is an ideal starting point for learning about the Dead C's celestial clang.

Vain, Erudite And Stupid: Selected Works 1987-2005
$9.99 Digitally remastered by Mark St. John and Andy Pearce (Masterpiece Mastering).
One of the great lost classics of the psychedelic rock era, S.F. SORROW was recorded at the same time (and in the same studio with the same engineer) as SGT. PEPPER and PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN, and is on par with both. Unfortunately, the commercial fate of the album (and the group) wasn't as rosy as that of its peers, but that doesn't diminish S.F. SORROW'S quality or historical importance. The record marked an important turning point for the Pretty Things, who began as a Stones-ish R&B band, but by this time were ready to take the leap that a sudden personnel change made easier.
The band launched itself whole-heartedly into a more sophisticated style, both musically and lyrically. S.F. SORROW was even more of a concept album than SGT. PEPPER; in fact, thematically the songs hold together a lot better here. The theme concerns the life and times of a British everyman, and the songs are very much in the SGT. PEPPER mold, with production touches and vocal harmonies (not to mention song structures) very much in the Beatles vein, but it was a sound the Pretty Things arrived at more or less independently. Adding to the import of this release is the addition of some excellent, previously unreleased tracks.
