I was really surprised when I read about a new release from Galaxie 500 one of my favorite bands from this era. After the release of their debut they played a concert in New York's famous club together with Sonic Youth and others. This gig was recorded an was long time only available as a bootleg.
Now it was remastered and released on vinyl. It shows how great this band were. Their drawn-out, sometimes somewhat amateurish post-Velvet Underground guitar sound, accompanied by the delicate whispering of singer/guitarist Dean Wareham, is certainly not to everyone's taste but hit me from the first time I listened to their songs. It's a musical document of a time long gone by. For me just superb.
