Breakdown – compilation (CD)



This compilation came out in 1999 on 4AD. I was fortunate enough to get a copy at Renaissance Montréal for a toonie (2.00 $ Canadian). I always enjoy hearing compilations. It`s a nice way to discover new bands / artists. A nice and long compilation (14 tracks = 64.19 minutes). There`s various music styles at work: beautifully crafted ethereal indie (Michael Brook), country / indie ballad (Brendan Perry, Kristin Hersh), dream pop (Cocteau Twins, The Hope Blister, Lakuna), indie rock (Cuba, Pixies, His Name Is Alive, The Breeders), downtempo loungy electronic music (Thievery Corporation), synthpop (Gus Gus), country / folk rock (Mojave 3), and minimal indie rock (Red House Painters). Recommended if you can find it. Another well invested toonie.
