User Reviews: Retrospective

  • Overall:

    amazing, simply amazing.

    By RonC  Nov 8, 1999

    This is the best band no one has ever heard. And this is the perfect album to buy for someone who has never heard them before. It covers the classics like "Brockwell park" and "Japanese to English". These songs, among others, are essential RHP, and ...after hearing them you really get a feel for Kozelek's emotional undercurrents. The first disc is a compilation formed by 4AD, the second disc's songs chosen by Kozelek. Next to Wilco's "summer teeth", this albums is the album of the year, from our decade's greatest songwriter.

Pro Reviews: Retrospective

  • All Music Guide

    Retrospective collects some of the finest moments from the Red House Painters' albums for 4AD as well as some previously unreleased work. Compiled by Mark Kozelek and Ivo Watts-Russell, this two-CD set features one disc spanning Kozelek's four-album output for the label. Kozelek's cover of Kiss' "Shock Me," which was previously available only on a UK single, opens the first disc; tracks like "Katy Song," "Medicine Bottle," "San Geronimo," "New Jersey," "Mistress," and "Drop" are also included. Demos, outtakes, and live recordings are included on the second disc, including two songs, "Waterkill" and "Instrumental" that were previously unreleased. Alternate versions of Painters favorites like "Japanese to English," "Funhouse," "Dragonflies," and "Brockwell Park" also appear on the second disc, making Retrospective an affordable starting point for newcomers, and a welcome addition for collectors.

Biography

Red House Painters

Red House Painters was primarily the vehicle of singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek, an evocative, compelling performer of rare emotional intensity. Like Mark Eitzel of American Music Club, to whose work the Painters were invariably compared and to whom their early success owed a tremendous debt, Kozelek laid his soul bare on record, conjuring harrowingly acute tales of pain... Read more
