Tell me about it @Aetas! I spilled water on my laptop and can’t access my music, but I was hoping to find the original recording with Gidon Kremer and Alfred Schnitke and these versions are all different than that track, so I listened to them all and noticed differences so I reposted something that sounded similar but when I finished those tracks, they weren’t the same either and I just left it with the last one. This music is spiritual refreshment and has been a significant track throughout my life!

Here’s the full album. Set the dial to 49:30 and put it on some nice speakers

I’m sure I could but I fear I’ve forgotten a lot of what I discussed. I think it was social background for the band, the soundscape of the record, it’s musical impact and so on.. it was a monthly “Vinyl Sunday” event that a couple of former students of mine put on. Hi gave an hour long lecture and then everyone lay around on pillows, listening to the record. It was nice.

Never really been down the Pixies rabbit hole but there is always a time to start and today may be the day.
Cheers for the inspiration!My advice would be to start in the middle with "Doolittle" (accomplished, accessible), then go cray-cray with Surfer Rosa and Come On Pilgrim (the early EP and debut LP, weird, wonderful, slightly more avant-garde) and take in Bossanova afterwards (post-peak, but still worth it, if only for "Is She White" which is a banging track. If you're a completionist then you still have Trompe Le Monde and the 2nd gen stuff, but for my money, "meh".
