Were the Pixies properly frozen for 11 years and thawed out especially for their reunion?
It sure seems like it. This is the Pixies in all their glory. Even Kim Deal thinks so. "We sound the same...only better."
Somewhere between completely enthralling to listen to and a complete bore to watch (you have to admit, they aren't exactly the most thrilling band to watch), The Pixies Sell Out takes you on the whirlwind journey of the bands 2004 reunion tour. The DVD features 27 Pixie classics including "Where Is My Mind", "Gigantic", "Here Comes Your Man" and "Monkey Gone To Heaven". The main part of the program features the band's performance at the Eurokeennes Festival in Belfort, France but also includes 14 bonus performances from around the world (Japan, Scotland, England, and various U.S. locations).
As a fan of the Pixies, it was good fun to be able to see one of the most influential bands of our time back together and on stage again. Their sound of surf-rock, punk noise, and classic pop mix with strangely perfect lyrics and, of course, the gorgeous and hauntingly beautiful voice of Kim Deal make for a timeless brand of music that most of us can't get enough of.
The bonus material includes an option called "Mix Monkey's Choice", which allows you to choose from six different camera angles to view the "Monkey Gone to Heaven" performance. The bonus performances features the following 14 songs played in 7 different locations:
1. Caribou (Coachella 2004, Indio, California)
2. Here Comes Your Man (Move Festival, UK - July 2004)
3. Debaser (T In The Park, Scotland - May 2004)
