These are big fish,

This review is from: Anthology (Audio CD)
Jangly guitar pop riven with whisps of rain and honeyed penguin harmony. A few misfires, sure, but such is evolution. Well worth the ducats for songs you'll forever play.

the clean cleansed my musical soul, it did,
By Davy (Athens, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anthology (Audio CD)
thank goodness for merge, the label who has given this legendary new zealand post-punk/spacy twee pop group a well-deserved wider audience. so far this year my most valuable musical discovery. this 2-disc collection is essential, 46 songs, all of them delightful and effervescent, for 13 bucks. simply unbeatable. kudos to the clean for being the band that kickstarted my favorite musical genre of last year, kiwi-pop (chills, bats, verlaines, straitjacket fits, etc...these are good places to turn if you like what you hear with the clean).

importance to music can not be denied,
By doug (Rocky River, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anthology (Audio CD)
The importance of this band on music can not be overlooked. They really were one of the first bands to make it ok to record your record so it sounded like you were playing percussion on a basketball but it still sounded great. Oh and don't think it gets 5 stars only for importance to music it is also loaded with great songs. "Tally Ho," "Oddity," and "Diamond Shine" are personal favorites, but there are many other great songs that you will constantly be putting on your mixes with Beat Happening, the Chills, and Simon Joyner. Get it soon though, I doubt it will stay in print for long.
