Lab Overview

"Finally available on vinyl! During their six years together, the Pixies released five albums on 4AD- Come on Pilgrim(1987); Surfer Rosa(1988); Doolittle(1989); Bossanova(1990) and Trompe Le Monde(1991). Experiencing particular success in the UK and Europe, the Pixies played sold-out festivals and received a multitude of fan, peer and critical acclaim. The band's influence was far-reaching; U2's Bono referred to the Pixies as 'one of America's greatest bands ever'; David Bowie called their work 'just about the most compelling music of the entire 80s,' and Kurt Cobain, who identified Surfer Rosa as his favorite album of that entire decade, confessed, when writing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, that, 'Basically, I was ripping off The Pixies.' The new 23-track Wave Of Mutilation: Best Of Pixies runs (almost) chronologically and expands on the previous compilation, Death To The Pixies. The recordings remain fresh and vibrant - a splendid introduction for old fans and new converts alike - inevitably there are half a dozen tracks from Doolittle, the record that NME proclaimed the 'second best album ever', but there's also a couple of B-sides, the live favourite ‘Into The White’ and, to end the sonic assault on a poignant note, the band's cover of Neil Young's ‘Winterlong’." - 4AD
