Free Music Review: Some Bands Can't Be Captured Well in Compilations
Hit: 3 Stars
Shriekback is one of those hard-to-nail-down bands that is very difficult to capture in a compilation. I've seen critics try to call them "indie funksters" but that isn't what I feel at all when listening to precious, nuanced songs like "Faded Flowers" or "Coelocanth"... you? Personally I think that the best way to get to know them is just to buy 'Big Night Music' and 'Oil and Gold' and be done with it. If you are a completist then you may want this comp for its alternate versions and mixes. However, for the casual fan, beware that these are not the original versions and my personal opinion is that nearly every one is infinitely inferior to its respective original. Having said that, the choice of songs is actually not too bad. They do capture a decent cross section of slower mood tracks and upbeat dance/funk numbers. Had they just used the original versions this would have been great as an introduction. Instead it's best used as a collection of remixes and new versions for those who already have the other versions.
