We were invited to play at the first ATP festival by Mogwai and we were armed with a handful of new songs and one "drone piece". This version of Free City Rhymes has remained an unreleased favorite of mine, Originally intended to be included on our SYR 7 12" (J'accuse Ted Hughes), later to be included on an ATP compilation that never materialized. This never-released mix, i think by longtime SY-engineer Aaron Mullan, and this performance remain one of my favorites.

Sonic Youth is one of those bands where you easily run out of superlatives to describe what they created. This could've easily come off as a cynical cash-grab by a band that had broken up 11 years prior to the release of this record, but that's not what this is. Some of my favourite Sonic Youth instrumentals. sentient meat

Me and my friend used to go on drives all the time, and a lot of the time i asked what he was playing, and a majority of the songs were from Yo La Tengo. And since i went and listened to And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out i was fan. Never thought i’d buy one of their records for myself. violetstain
