The second in a series of Robyn Hitchcock retrospective box sets from Yep Roc, the five-disc 'Luminous Groove' box set shines a light on Robyn's rock & roll renaissance with the Egyptians. In 1985 Robyn's newest group, with ex-Soft Boys Andy Metcalfe and Morris Windsor plus keyboardist Roger Jackson, marked the next stage in the career of one of popular music's most unique creators. 'Fegmania!' is a return to band format, showcasing the new outfit through sonic tapestries around Hitchcock's signature skittered melodies and private lyrics. On 'Element of Light,' The Egyptians glide between regal pop and driving psychedelia, resulting in one of the most deliberate and nuanced rock records of the decade. 'Gotta Let This Hen Out!' captures a blazing live set by the Egyptians from London's Marquee club in early 1985. The band blasts through new and old Hitchcock classics, effortlessly blending the show into what amounts to a live best-of collection and reminding fans that Robyn's legend is built as much on loud guitars as it is on eerie metaphors and jagged melodies. All three albums contain new bonus tracks exclusive to 'Luminous Groove.' In addition to these three seminal albums, the set also includes two exclusive bonus discs entitled 'Bad Case of History' which features previously unreleased studio recordings, including the final 1994 sessions, and a CD of unheard live material. Just as with Yep Roc's first box set collection 'I Wanna Go Backwards,' the curation of 'Fegmania!,' 'Element of Light,' and 'Gotta Let This Hen Out!' into one box set encapsulates a critical portion of the creative life of Britain's Mad Hatter of pop and further illuminates Hitchcock's gloriously mysterious 'Luminous Groove.' 'Luminous Groove' is also available as an eight-LP vinyl set.

This CD is an out of print collectible! It is the original 1989 A&M release. Catalog CD 5241. There is a drill hole through the case and back art.

Reinvention reigns supreme in the elastic world of Robyn Hitchcock. His latest incarnation with the Venus 3 (Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey & Bill Rieflin) spawned the critically acclaimed Olé Tarantula in 2006. Three years later this confection of rock stars and underground legends is back in 2009 with the postmodern pop masterpiece Goodnight Oslo. Stabbing horns from compatriot Terry Edwards swim alongside gorgeous harmonies throughout this 10-track snapshot of Hitchcock's version of pop music in a perfect world. Goodnight Oslo features guest vocalists Colin Meloy, Sean Nelson and Morris Windsor who help Robyn sing his way through a dreamy remembrance of 16 years of intoxication. An album of nearly unwavering positivity, Goodnight Oslo shines down with the beautiful 'I'm Falling' and the beatific 'Up to Our Nex,' the latter written for the soundtrack to the stirring Jonathan Demme film Rachel Getting Married. A new era in an already fabled career, Robyn's latest work strengthens the pull of his lunar-like gravity and adds yet another chapter to the myth of one of rock music's most influential undercurrents.

Robyn Hitchcock is a contemporary English Rock singer who issued numerous albums from 1981 to the present. One of his more hard to find CDs is Moss Elixir. Long out of print, the CD commands high prices when you can find it. But wait, that is only the beginning. The second half of this two CD set contains the vinyl only album Mossy Liquor. This was an album of curiosities, demos and leftovers from the Moss Elixir sessions, and has never been issued on CD anywhere in the world until now! Sometimes subtitled Outtakes & Prototypes, some of his fans may not even know this album exists, for the vinyl is extremely rare.

On Element of Light, The Egyptians glide between regal pop and driving psychedelia, resulting in of the most deliberate and nuanced college rock records of the decade. EOL and other Egyptians' records from this period are widely credited with introducing Hitchcock to American audiences and remain some of the most significant releases in the career of one of music's great explorers. EOL also includes bonus tracks curated by Robyn himself that do not appear on the original version of the album.
