themselves | The No Music of .AIFFs 
the no music of aiffs is the companion piece to the duo's September 2002 release, the no music, which was picked as a New York Times top ten record by Neil Strauss. The original has been remixed down to its smallest intestine and back toward the light until only the order of its tracks remains intact. The record features a new themselves song along with guest remixers Controller7 and matth, Hrvatski, why?, Hood, alias, A Grape Dope (John Herndon), Fog, odd nosdam, The Notwist and Electric Birds. The CD is enhanced with two music videos - visual remixes of "poison pit" and "you devil you," directed by Ravi Zupa. the no music of aiffs offers an eerie and pleasantly eccentric intimacy that permeates this collage of a collage of a collage.

The Birthday Party / Junkyard [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] 
The early years of Nick Cave when he had some edge and music muscle to back it up. So much tension on the album that you think the band is going to disintegrate at any moment. This was when the band was still in it's post Stooges- Sex Pistols primtive style, down an dirty punk rock before graduating to the sleek and more refined style of lounge rock with Nick Cave crooning gothic style songs in the mould of Tom Waits.

Little Fish: Tribute to Polly Jean Harvey [UK-Import]
(Review translated from German with Altavista Translations (poorly i might add))
On that CD are met some Coverversionen of P.J. Songs nearly each age. Most adhere to the original, only to "Dry" very beautifully to singing and acoustic guitar were very closely reduced. With a song a male singer at one of the works of Mrs. Harvey dared - 50 Queenie ft it did not harm, it has as much drive as always. Dearless opening of the Inlays is very unfortunate: there is only the names the volume (and also still in wrong order) and the gecoverten Songs indicated. Here it would have to provide itself really offered, a Booklet with information for the particulars interpreter inside and volume. To recommend therefore also only for really eingefleischte fans or extremely good connoisseur inside the music scene, that can perhaps begin with the volume names which.

this is my second copy of Junk Yard so i knew what i was getting into with that glorious CD.
Remixed THEMSELVES? .. it kicks some ass of course.

the Polly Jean Harvey tribute?... well .. lets just say.. i think people shoud stop remaking songs exactly how the original artst made it.. if i wanted to hear someone rip off PJ note for note, octave for octave, i would listen to PJ drunk... then sing along..
look at the Jimi Hendrix Tribute from 6-7 years ago.. the only band ballsy enough to make one of his songs their own was the Cure. th rest was poor rip offs of Hendrix.. why not make something that shows you were inspired vs something that shows you can "duplicate".

needless to say, the PJ Harvey tribute was fairly dissapointing... i expected greatness and got mediocrety instead.. figures.

the other two disks? droooool..
goodness in plastic platters.. yay!
