This deluxe double disc reissue is a superbly done follow-up to the treatment afforded Pavements brilliant 92 debut Slanted & Enchanted. L.A.'s Desert Origins is a joy for fans, with the majority of the second disc previously unreleased demos and outtakes. Crooked Rain is enjoyable and has some of their best songs ("Range Life," "Gold Soundz," "Silence Kit") but its a strange, transitional album by a band still a little wobbly on their prog-rock feet. With this 94 release, the stadium-ready lineup of the erudite garage group had solidified, though it was not quite solid. Erratic, eccentric producer/drummer Gary Young had been booted out of the band, whose previous recordings were primarily made by Scott Kannberg and Stephen Malkmus. With two percussionists and bassist Mark Ibold brought into the studio, Crooked Rain has a far warmer, less trebly sound to it. Among the many extras included on this expanded version are the bands two exceptional, unironic tributes to R.E.M. --Mike McGonigal

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Another reissue of an indie classic
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2005*

"Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" was Pavement's most acclaimed album and one of the very best records of the 1990s.  Disc 1 of this reissue contains the original 12-song 1994 release, B-sides from the three singles and bonus 7", plus a few songs from compilations.  Disc 2 features 25 previously unreleased songs including rough Crooked Rain tracks with their original drummer Gary Young and early versions of songs from the subsequent album "Wowee Zowee".  The best part of Disc 2 is the 4-song Peel Session with "Brink of the Clouds" and "The Sutcliffe Catering Song".  The bonus material is slightly weaker than that from the S&E reissue, but this is still highly recommended for all Pavement fans.  Hoping for a "Wowee Zowee" reissue soon.
