In a similar vein:

Blonde Redhead - S/T (1995)

Really been sleeping on these earlier recordings.

Man baroque piano pieces can be so good.

"Performative" is the jimmy jam but the closer, "Everything," has my number.

Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come

Man I am really disappointed in this deluxe/super deluxe presentation of the Who's Next/Lifehouse by The Who. I was hoping for some kind of release of the Lifehouse album. In any form, really. They could have very easily expanded Who's Next into a double LP and interspersed the songs intended for Lifehouse that ended up being cut, which form a loose but satisfying concept. Nearly all of the songs were recorded by the who and the ones that weren't exist as high quality studio demos that Townshend made in 70/71. You can totally stitch it together that way (I know, I once did this on a radio show). They didn't do that. So I was hoping for a comprehensive vinyl release of Townshend's full version of album in home studio demo form. But they didn't do that either. The vinyl editions are woefully incomplete despite being available in both 4 and 3 LP versions. The 4 LP being Who's Next then live most of a live show from 71 that includes more material from Tommy than from Lifehouse. The 3 LP contains a small portion of Townshend's demos, but none of the deep dive ones, mainly demos of the big hits. The Super Deluxe 10 cd version can't get it straight either. It interrupts the complete demos portion with redundancies where the same song is inserted haphazardly multiple times in the sequence to show off "new remixes" of demos included with their original mixes. Despite there being ample material to pull from, nowhere in any version of the set is a comprehensive recreation of the Lifehouse album. It seems like such a fucking no brainer missed opportunity. Pure and Easy and The Song Is Over fit together so beautifully and in over 50 years they still can't get those impeccable studio versions sequenced together on the same album? Ugh.

They got it.
