Over 2 hours of Pixies action,featuring a live show from 1988, all eight promo videos, intimate behind-the-scenes footage filmed on tour and a documentary on the band with star endorsements.
Many of their B-sides are just as good as their album tracks, so it's terrific to see them collected onto a single disc which is also enhanced with videos for "Here Comes Your Man" and "Allison".
A collection of studio performances recorded for the BBC that were recorded over six sessions and span Pixies' whole career. The music itself is pretty terrific; none of the versions are radically different but each cut is raw and vital.
The final album is a rousing swan song and a precursor to alternative rock's imminent success. Despite their lack of mainstream success, Pixies are one of America's greatest, most influential bands.
On Bossanova's strongest moments, the Pixies explored their softer side and found different uses for their extreme dynamics. Most of the album finds the band in fine form and the spacious, reverb-heavy production at times makes Pixies sound like a Martian bar band.
Recently voted the no.2 best album ever by the NME magazine, this is Pixies' most immediate album; its wide-ranging moods and sounds also make it one of their most eclectic and ambitious.
