Unlike some of the other compilations I've posted, I can't say I love this album, but I love the concept - all tracks were recorded live using a solar-powered mobile facility.
Highlights include REM's legendary funk version of Drive, Soundgarden performing the awesome and malevolent New Damage with Brian May, and JC by Sonic Youth.
Also good to see two Aussie bands featured - Yothu Yindi and "The Oils"!

Now *that* is an interesting mix of artists- a couple of which I haven't thought of in years. I'm wary cause of your not in love with it status, but I'm scooping it up if only for the Sonic Youth. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAdelle, didn't mean to scare you off!
ReplyDeleteI don't love this album as there are a few bands here I hate (Soup Dragons, EMF), a few I dislike intensely (UB40, James), and a few I just plain dislike (Annie Lennox).
But the rest is good to excellent!
Maybe I was should have mentioned JAMC and the Disposables in the "highlights"? "...Kick" is far from JAMCs best songs but it's still cool!
thank you.
