SYR?

Thor Anders Aase · 03.01.2008, 05:02 AM

I only recently discovered SY, but already I have bought their 15 studio-albums. I am, off course, totally blown away. Sister, DDN, EVOL and Murray Street are mye favorites so far, but every recording has some great moments. I must buy the SYR`S now. Any thoughts on these ep`s?

Cheers anyway..

I've been meaning to pick them up for ages but I can't find them anywhere in Australia. Good luck with Norway!

If you like the "noisier-impro" side of the band you won't be disappointed at all listening to the syr releases. Kinda "simplistic" sentence, but I think it sums it up good enough

guys buy them on ebay or from the official store! you might have to wait a bunch of weeks but it's worth it and easier than searching all your nation's stores

I prefer the SYR series to all the albums since and including Goo.

SYR1: Anagrama is the best of the syr series for me, so go and buy it

play.com is where I have bought most of my SY cd`s. Cheap and fast.

An SYR boxset should be released to put them all together.

ZEROpumpkins · 03.01.2008, 06:07 AM

Yeah I think I actually heard about that thing being put together, Death & the Maiden.

i'm in the same situation as you, i've got all the albums except NYC, but i don't know whether or not the SYR series is for me gathering from 30 seconds clips i heard on itunes (then again bad moon rising was represented poorly in it's 30 second clips so it must be itunes), i guess i just need to determine myself to buy one, i'd probably start from the beginning with these.

Hello Thor. Basically, I would say that SYRs 1, 3 and 6 are essential pieces of Sonic Youth genius.

you daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn right.

uhler · 03.01.2008, 05:48 PM

i already have most of them on cd (and all downloaded), but i decided i should buy them on vinyl (aside from 6 for obvious reasons). i would start buying the "real" albums on vinyl, but i don't feel like searching and paying high prices for the studio albums. i'll just stick to my cd collection.

lowlife · 03.03.2008, 10:17 PM

In my opinion, SYR4 is the best by far (haven't heard SYR6 though). In fact, I would make the argument that SYR4 is the best SY music since 'Bad Moon Rising' era

avantgarde1 · 03.03.2008, 10:26 PM

i would def have to disagree w/ that statement.

PAULYBEE2656 · 03.04.2008, 05:56 AM

go and buy them all in order. each one is abeing onto itself and cannot and should not be compared and contrasted..... i love syr4 for what it is and what it stands for. for pure sy riffage, 1 and 2 rule. for madness go for 5 and for the freak out jazz blast shit thing go for 6. 3 is ok if you need time alone in a darkened room. just buy them all....... you are worth it!
