Decent

As one other person mentions, I was excited when I downloaded the CD (normally I check something out before I purchase it). There are some great songs on here, so I would recommend going through and purchasing song-by-song instead of the whole thing....not enough good tunes to make back the $9.99.

B-Sides Warning

If you like Enon's male vocals better than the female vocals, this is the album for you (and you are out of your mind). I bought this before sampling the tracks and without realizing that it was a B-sides compilation. I instantly regretted it, not only because it felt/sounded not much like the smoother, heavier, better-known Enon stuff, but because the off-kilter dork-grenades from this album keep popping up when I shuffle my purchased iTunes. I haven't been able to just delete the tracks (waiting in vain for the epiphany), but man, is it a drag to have one of these clunkers start playing while riding the subway or working out.

more than just b-sides

If you like Enon's female vocals better than their male vocals (and you're out of your mind - how can you not fall in love with Schmersal's voice?), there's plenty on here for you. In addition to two of their best Yasuda-fronted tracks - Kanon and Knock That Door - there are a large number of wonderful male/femal duets like tracks 2, 4, 10, and 13. That's something I wish they'd done more often on previous albums because they sound so good together and it makes for a more cohesive listening experience. As does the more off-kilter approach to this collection of singes & b-sides - they're clearly more experimental than much of Enon's glossier material, but fortunately almost all of their experiments work. You get a great big bag of weird pop without losing their strong melodic sensibilites - see Grain of Assault for a great example - and the result is almost equal to High Society and better than Hocus Pocus. 2 cautions though - far less guitar than on their regular albums (mostly electronics and bass here) and the production has an unfortunate and almost universal muddy quality to it.

Biography

Formed: 1999 in Brooklyn, NY

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '90s, '00s

Enon is the trio of John Schmersal (who was involved with Brainiac and John Stuart Mill) and Rick Lee and Steve Calhoon (both of Skeleton Key). Like groups such as Olivia Tremor Control, they're interested in exploring that wide territory between pop/rock songs and noise, employing a wealth of samples, industrial sound processing, and percussion that veers toward crockery-smashing murkiness. Not as inclined toward melodies of the 1960s and '70s as groups like Olivia Tremor Control are, there are...
