Limited Edition 25th Anniversary 2LP
Originally released in November 1999, Sonic Youth wrapped up the millennium with an adventurous double album of performances of works by some of the 20th century's greatest composers. The fourth release on the SYR label was not designated to new material or studio improvisations, but instead the truly ambitious project is one of their most diverse releases, featuring a selection of guest performers and some extremely interesting recordings. From the seemingly random yet very calculated half-hour Cage piece "Four6" to Coco's shrill delivery of Yoko Ono's "Voice Piece For Soprano"; from the torturous yet compelling "Pendulum Music" to the perplexing yet amusing 88-key destruction of "Piano Piece #13", the album offers a vast sample of Sonic Youth chasing us down musical paths we might not otherwise have ever visited.
