SLOWDIVE - Souvlaki (Extended Package), CASTLE MUSIC

Back in stock! According to the extra-extended liner notes included in all of the current Slowdive reissues, the name 'Souvlaki' refers to a sketch by NYC's infamous wind-up merchants The Jerky Boys and acts as a counterpoint to the fraught conditions in which the album was recorded. Having completed a US tour with Blur and a European jaunt alongside Ride, Slowdive found themselves bruised by the scathing reception their music was garnering from the rabid UK press, with 'Souvlaki' partially written during this time. Including the Slowdive/Eno hook-ups 'Sing' and 'Here She Comes', 'Souvlaki' is a significantly different record to its predecessor; preferring a spiralling sense of scale compared to 'Just For a Day' and its more focussed sound. So whilst the likes of '40 Days', 'Sing' and 'Dagger' are just as mouth-wateringly poignant as first time round, the bonus disc features a slew of B-sides and alternative mixes which only go to further underline just how deep Slowdive's creative well ran. Having spent a good chunk of my life trying to track this most elusive album down - thank goodness it's now been given the reissue it so thoroughly deserves. Amazing music.
