NP: "Rutti" from Slowdive's last album PYGMALION.

Just read a few days ago that the Slowdive catalog is set for remaster/reissue. Much to be excited about here. I knew it was a good idea to hold off on buying that Best Of comp that came out last year. Now I can finally get my hands on the extra tracks without laying out tons of jack on eBay. JUST FOR A DAY and SOUVLAKI are getting the bonus disc treatment, but PYGMALION will stand alone. The cd has always sounded fine to me, so I doubt I will re-purchase this one. The other two however, high on my wish list, just for the bone-us tracks alone. The good news about PYGMALION is that it will just be available again. Along with Talk Talk's LAUGHING STOCK and Bark Psychosis' HEX, this is one of the cornerstones of the early daze of post-rock.. The 4th? Maybe SPIDERLAND, though it kind of stands on its own as well.
