A Lazarus Taxon
Available August 22, 2006

Thrill Jockey, thrill 152

Spanning three CDs and one DVD, this set sums up just about all of Tortoise's extra-curricular activity during their 16-year career, previously only available for two-months-salary prices on eBay. The set is centered around the Rhythms, Resolutions and Clusters LP, which went out of print almost directly upon its release after their first album in 1995, and includes the lost Mike Watt remix track, which arrived too late to be pressed on the LP, and had to be respooled from a broken DAT by Bundy K. Brown just to be included here! The rest of the set is filled out by 7" and 12" EP, compilation, and Japanese bonus tracks. And then there's the DVD, the piece de resistance, as they say. Over two hours long, the disc includes all of Tortoise's music videos; a couple of more conceptual short films using Tortoise's music; and several live sets, including one long set from 1994, and a one-time only live collaboration with Fred Anderson and the Chicago Underground Quartet. The whole thing comes packaged in a striking hard cardstock box, printed with photography by the Swiss photographer Arnold Odermatt.
