Renaissance
(1968)

by
Vanilla Fudge
What made Vanilla Fudge so intriguing was how they and producer Shadow Morton mutated hit songs by stretching the tempo to slow motion so exquisite that even an overexposed song by the Supremes sounded new on the radio. The formula worked fine on covers, but despite their collective talent, the material they composed on Renaissance feels more like ...

4AD tries, tries again with Wave of Mutilation: The Best of the Pixies, the second Pixies best-of they've released since the band broke up in 1992 and the companion piece to the long-awaited, simultaneously released DVD Pixies. Lessons have been learned from 1997's half-baked Death to the Pixies: this compilation's track listing is in more or less ...

Pixies
Death to the Pixies distills the highlights of the Pixies' remarkably consistent catalog. Most of the usual suspects are here: "Debaser," "Here Comes Your Man," "Bone Machine," "Gigantic," "Where Is My Mind?," "Velouria," "Nimrod's Son," "Wave of Mutilation," and "Monkey Gone to Heaven." Disc Two is a 21-song live disc culled from a terrific 1990 ...

Surfer Rosa
(1988)
more music like this
by
Pixies
One of the most compulsively listenable college rock albums of the '80s, the Pixies' 1988 full-length debut Surfer Rosa fulfilled the promise of Come on Pilgrim and, thanks to Steve Albini's production, added a muscular edge that made their harshest moments seem even more menacing and perverse. On songs like "Something Against You," Black Francis' ...

Frank Black/Black Francis
2004 was the year that Charles Kitteridge Thompson IV seemed to finally find a balance between the legacy of his work with the Pixies and his separate identity as a solo artist. After all, that year's reunion with the Pixies could have only come about because he felt secure enough in his work as Frank Black to revisit the songs he wrote as Black ...

Ghoti Hook
Ghoti Hook was maybe the best Christian punk band on the scene throughout the 1990s, and their breakup in 2001 prompted this compilation, which draws on the four albums the group made between 1996 and 2000. Collections like this should usually sell at midprice unless they offer previously unreleased material; this one does neither, but the quality ...

British ex-military singer/songwriter and consummate lady's man James Blunt watched his career go from coffeehouses to stadiums in 2005 with the smash hit "You're Beautiful."

Pixies
When Rough Trade reissued the Pixies' seminal full-length debut album, Surfer Rosa, on CD, they added the terrific mini-album Come on Pilgrim as a bonus. While it's nice to have these two records on one disc, the sequencing of Come on Pilgrim after Surfer Rosa is a little disconcerting, since the two albums each have distinctive sounds that clash ...

Real Time Voyeur
(1999)
by
Raz Ohara
Most electro artists claim to transcend genre boundaries, but most of them are lying: the vast majority fit pretty comfortably into one prefab category or another. Raz Ohara is different. His music tends to be dreamy without being ambient, hooky without being pop, funky without being funk. On Realtime Voyeur he manages to evoke both Prince and ...

Where Is My Mind?: A Tribute to the Pixies

by
Various Artists
A curiously restrained tribute to such a typically ebullient gang, this adoring gumbo of many of the band's worst songs misses the point of the Pixies' oeuvre. Eve 6, Superdrag, Nada Surf and others emphasize their own bands' one-trick riffs as interpretations of the Pixies' far less self-conscious forays into pop, punk, and protogrunge. Local H's ...

Ghoti Hook runs through a clutch of rock & roll favorites on the rowdy holdover record Songs We Didn't Write. Beginning, naturally, with "I Love Rock & Roll," the band punks and pops up tracks from New Order ("True Faith"), Violent Femmes ("Hey Nonny Nonny"), and tears into goofy fare like Michael W. Smith's "Friends" with obvious glee. The latter ...

"No overdubs. Warts and all!" the back of Best of Toadies proclaims, and the veteran Texas band isn't kidding. Frontman Todd Lewis doesn't sing in key -- he screams around the key ring lodged in his swollen throat. The band's guitars warble and shake throughout, lurching in and out of choruses and extended instrumental moments like drunken, ...

Strangely enough, the third volume in the We Can Fly compilation series tops the second and, in some ways, even the first.

For starters, there's a Murray Head side here, called ...
