You have just got to LOVE Luna

| "Taste" is what governs whether you love Luna OR NOT. Listen for yourself. I did, and now i have ALL but one of the LUNA albums. I've been searching for "that album " or group for many years now. I found the listening pleasures in Pink floyd, Radiohead, Doves, Mercury Rev and Muse, even FLEET Foxes. You have to listen to lots of albums to find the true aural experience. i have and now I've discovered LUNA. How did I miss them back in the early 90's ?? How sad they have gone!!! The DVD will make you love them even more and you may cry!! Luna should have retired as wealthy people, but they did'nt, because people are basically ignorant of what really is good music. Stick your finger secretly up at other people that don't listen to LUNA because you are special and you want to keep it for youself. Let the majority miss out. I might even include LUNA in my will!!!? ANYWAY, ALL the albums have something different to offer. All are very bloody good. Yes, they do sound a bit Velvet Undergroundish, and also Mercury Rev and sometimes Echo and the Bunnymen and Dandy Warholes. BUT LUNA are LUNA and no one else. Thank you LUNA for the music |

| I'm sorry, but all the other reviewers must be friends with the band. I thought that the music itself was barely ok, but the vocals were just awful. |

Features the classics 'Chinatown' and ' 23 Minutes In Brussels'
Submitted on: 2008-01-13 |
|
| The opening 'Chinatown' and centerpiece '23 Minutes In Brussels' are classics that are entirely worthy of the full album's price. The rest of the 1995 album is pretty good too including an unlisted cover 'Bonnie and Clyde' featuring Laetita Sadier from Stereolab. The Velvet Underground and Yo La Tengo comparisons are appropriate. |

Desert island disc

| I am 36 now. When I first heard this album was right about when it came out. I must have been 24 or 25. My time flies. But after all this time, and having just bought my 5th copy or so- but first on VINYL (man its hard to find)- I have to say this is one of my 10 favorite records of all time and let me tell you I got thousands of records. Its really a perfect record building at times on the velvets and at other times on television..its cool..sophisticated... perfectly recorded..very crisp... the artwork is divine so much so bob dylan took the cover of the insert and made it the cover of modern times! the cd has a really cool bonus track- a cover of gainsbourg's bonnie and clyde with stereolab's singer laetitia sadier......never again would dean wareham be as inspired as on this record...in fact pup tent was a weak follow up and luna's career was forever derailed and cosigned a limiting indie scene....but regardless this album is top knotch and has maybe my favorite track by luna ever 23 minutes in brussels..the songs on this album became the staples of the luna live show for the next decade until they broke up realizing much as they tried- and they did some other really great stuff- they'd never be able to come close to replicating this magic... freaking and peaking..sideshow by the seashore..all classics...dean's lyrics were never better than on this..there is a guest appearance from television's tom verlaine which is very fitting as i believe 23 minutes in brussels is a sorta tribute -song title wise- to television....to people that came of age in my generation this is a classic...a true desert island disc.... i am so happy my vinyl copy arrived last week all the way from japan! i should add also that i love chinatown but more importantly that dean's lyrics are just so cool..they are "different" and many times i listen to a song from this album and a particular lyric or couplet will just grab me for the first time or like for the first time....this album works on many levels and rewards repeated listening..once it gets under your skin it will never leave... my favorite luna story is back in 2002 in the middle of the great depression of argentina i was living in buenos aires argentina and no american bands were coming cause there wasn't a dime to be had anywhere.. who shows up but luna (i guess for the heck of it cause its not like there was a big luna scene down there)..walking in to the club - i was a minute late- to the sound of 23 minutes in brussels i could have died.. i was home again and i will always remember it as one of my fondest memories.... i've talked to the band members-a few cursory words- and they are all nice peeps...btw britta was not in the band when this was recorded.... |
