You’re Living All Over Me Sweet Nothing SNCD-038 CD £10.99 Definitively packaged reissue of the second album from the earth quaking trio of guitarist J Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow and drummer Murph. 1987’s You’re Living All Over Me is the group’s best side and one of the greatest guitar records of the 1980s. The remastering job is swell, in fact it never sounded better, with J’s guitar solos just exploding out of the mix with all the startling velocity of James Williamson on the Bowie-mix of Raw Power. The whole deal comes with a booklet full of cool pics, a bonus track (“Just Like Heaven”) and two videos: “Little Fury Things” and “Just Like Heaven” as well as great liners by Byron Coley. Highly recommended. |

Dinosaur Sweet Nothing SNCD-037 CD £10.99 Definitively packaged reissue of the first album from the earth quaking trio of guitarist J Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow and drummer Murph. Dinosaur Jr pretty much single-handedly put the sound of immolating rock guitar back on the map in the mid-to-late 80s and this first album sounds even better after all the intervening years, with a sound that touches on weird garage punk moves, goth, hardcore, wired loner country and overloaded acid rock while still managing to sound like nothing else. There’s a weird auraless distance to much of the recording that would make it pretty hard to date in a blindfold test and there are some straightforwardly great songs: “Repulsion”, “Cats In A Bowl”, “Forget The Swan”, “The Leper”. This remastered edition sounds great and it kicks off with “Bulbs Of Passion” – a roaring early track that turned up on Blast First’s Devil’s Jukebox set. Also features a totally fucked live version of “Does It Float” and an extensive booklet with plenty of cool pics and great liners by Byron Coley. Enough in here to keep you occupied for weeks. |
