Before Nirvanas NEVERMIND closed out the year with the unexpected commercial triumph of grunge rock, R.E.M.s OUT OF TIME was the sound of alternative music circa 1991. The smash singles " Losing My Religion"--perhaps the only Top Five US single ever to feature the mandolin as its lead instrument--and " Shiny Happy People" were the commercial face of the album. Elsewhere, however, R.E.M. makes a point of moving away from expectations, resulting in intriguing experiments like the surprisingly funk ...

The album is a 40-song career-spanning retrospective that collects, for the first time ever, songs from R.E.M.s entire back catalog, including the pioneering American bands years on both the IRS label (1982 to 1987) & Warner Bros.

R.E.M.: Michael Stipe (vocals); Mike Mills (vocals, bass); Bill Berry (vocals, drums); Peter Buck (guitar). Recorded at Reflection Sound, Charlotte, North Carolina. The murmuring continued with this, R.E.M.s second album, recorded in only two weeks, & yet critical acclaim & a growing fanbase had not made the music any less elusive. From the cover depiction of a winding river/snake, the jangly music within was similarly ambiguous, drenched in alternately murky, then dazzlingly clear, ima ...

This re-issue collects together the classic 1984 Reckoning album along with a complete live concert from the same year. The album itself, though, was an important step for REM, & established them as literate but radio-friendly leaders of the college rock movement. Songs like So.

The threesome from Athens, Georgia is one of the biggest bands in he world. Thats official. They have been making fine music for 20 odd years, & were a four piece until three years ago when Bill Berry packed up his drum kit & went home. Their last album Up showed that they could live quite happily without a drummer, & they discovered technology as a consequence. That resulted in an album with a refreshing change, even if it didnt perform so well commercially. So can the team of Stipe, ...

Up is an atmospheric journey & some critics have compared it with the bands delicate & emotionally revealing gem Automatic for the People, but Up is more ambitious & creative, undercut with drama & sonic experimentation. The melodies are generally spare, the beats sparse. Guitars flicker in & out, providing tension & dynamics, while quivering strings, layered keyboards, & washes of feedback colour the songs like textured lines of paint in an oil portrait. More than a decade after ...
