Land (1975-2002) Land – Bjorn Viberg – European Union
Land being a 2 disc compilation of Patti Smith and was released 2002 on Arista Records. I had not listened to Patti Smith prior to picking this compilation up at my local library. The sound is a mix of rock, protopunk and punk rock with very provocative lyrics. The booklet contains a letter written by Clive Davis and liner-notes by Patti Smith herself. The booklet also contains several photographs of Patti Smith and her band. I had heard the song “Because of the night” before listening to this compilation but I had no idea that Patti Smith had written as a collaboration with Bruce Springsteen. Allmusic and Rollin Stone both the album high marks in their reviews. 4/5.
: In some ways, singer-songwriter Patti Smith seems an unlikely choice for a full-bore anthology. After all, she’s had only one charting single with “Because the Night.” Even at that time, most people probably were more familiar with Gilda Radner’s spot-on parody of her on Saturday Night Live than with Smith herself. Yet her influence both on the fledgling NYC punk scene and as a protofeminist poet renders her something of an American counterculture icon. As such, Land (1975-2002) serves to frame an uncompromising career spanning four decades. Split over two discs and featuring 31 tracks and almost two-and-a-half hours of music, Land begins with a survey of Smith’s studio albums, relying most heavily on 1978′s Easter. All the greats are here–”Dancing Barefoot,” “People Have the Power,” “Gloria,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Nigger,” “Frederick,” and of course, “Because the Night,” plus a newly recorded version of Prince’s “When Doves Cry,” one of two songs cut specifically for this collection. The second disc is where fans–who were solicited for track selection input via gigs and the Web–get the goods. Early demos, among them 1974′s coveted “Piss Factory,” plus two other pre-Horses recordings, “Redondo Beach” and “Distance Fingers,” kick things off. What follows is a batch of previously unreleased live recordings–”Dead City,” “Spell,” “Boy Cried Wolf”–most captured during a 2001 tour through the U.S. and Europe, and studio outtakes. Smith herself helped remaster the recordings while stacking the accompanying booklet with fans’ photos and the like. Land probably won’t spark a Smith renaissance, but loyalists can marvel at an artist who’s never turned a fast buck by easing up on the sweat, tears, hunger, and integrity that inform every one of these tracks. –Kim Hughes

The Sound of the Smiths: The Very Best of the Smiths

June 11th, 2010 | Author: pseudointerview

The Sound of the Smiths: The Very Best of the Smiths Great variety for a taste of The Smiths – Fiona Yankevich –
The Smiths are a band you can laugh, cry, moan and mope to. Upbeat, melancholy, jangly sounding songs that bring out a painful longing for something more. This was the soundtrack to my life for a while, and I’m sure many others can relate.
The Smiths are perfect for anyone going through a quarter-life crisis. Hanging out in smokey bars, bored and intoxicated dancing, faces bathed in red lighting. So alone. So confused. Young, jaded, and faced with a constant existential crisis. Turn your nose up at the world or embrace it? Longing for love, but pushing it away. This album will cause analysis of the self and the world around you. I should warn you…listening to the Smiths might change your life forever.
: Deluxe 2 CD version, with disc 2 containing choice B sides, live cuts, and rarities. The Smiths formed in Manchester in 1982 and quickly rose to become the quintessential British indie rock band of their day. Powered by the collaboration between lead singer and lyricist Morrissey and lead guitarist and co-songwriter Johnny Marr, their sound had a literary and musical depth that was complex, emotional and often controversial-at the same time, it rang with The Smiths’ unique twist on timeless melodic pop sensibilities. On Rhino’s new compilation, the group’s biggest hits and most important tracks are represented.
