Pavement - Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal 2CD/4LP

Matador release "Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal", an exhaustive 45-track reissue of the band’s much-loved fifth and final album. The new special edition compiles the remastered original album, B-sides, home demos, rehearsal tapes, era-appropriate live recordings, and even the rough tracks from Pavement’s scrapped session at Sonic Youth’s Echo Canyon studio. Altogether, it features 28 unreleased tracks.

Originally released in 1999, "Terror Twilight" marked a departure from Pavement’s established operating methods. Which is to say that it was recorded with a big-time producer in an expensive studio. However, for all the talk of 'polish' and 'precision' it’s still very much a Pavement record. And a great one. Like every Pavement album that preceded it, "Terror Twilight" thrills and confounds. Often at the same time. Twenty-two years on, the songs remain moody, strange, and eminently deserving of re-celebration.

The 2CD and 4LP editions includes a book with never-before-seen photos and commentary/context from band members Mark Ibold, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich, Spiral Stairs and Steve West, as well as producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Beck).
