Similar to yesterday's spotlight on The Sugarcubes, at the time this C90 was compiled, Pixies still had one more album to go, with 1991's Trompe Le Monde, before they split. Unlike The Sugarcubes, Pixies reconvened as a regular live concern and, twenty three years after that last album, released a new one, 2014's Indie Cindy.
Unfortunately, by the time of the studio recordings, Kim Deal had left the band and, whilst good, 21st Century Pixies are a different proposition to the original version that emerged in the late 1980s.
So here then is a second slab of sonic perfection, drawn from Come On Pilgrim (1987), Surfer Rosa (1988), Doolittle (1989) and Bossanova (1990), plus an excellent track from 1989's Monkey Gone To Heaven EP. All tracks are the album versions, unless stated. If I'd been more prescient all those years ago, I may have included Stormy Weather...
