Review

Musician (10/96, pp.83-84) - "...It's by no means a stretch...to call Australia's Go-Betweens the bery best rock 'n' roll band of the '80s.... combining tension with beauty, happiness with regret, and love with anger..."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/02, p.122) - "...A record full of twitching, minimalist charm..."
NME (Magazine) (4/13/96, p.47) - 5 (out of 10) - "...skeletal boxroom funk..."

Title Note

The Go-Betweens: Grant McLennan (vocals, guitar, bass); Robert Forster (vocals, guitar); Lindy Morrison (drums, background vocals).

Additional personnel: James Freud (saxophone); Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

Producers include: Tony Cohen, The Go-Betweens, Alex Fergusson.

Compilation producer: Bernard MacMahon.

Recorded between 1980 & 1982. Includes liner notes by Stewart Lee.

Digitally remastered Japanese version includes two previously unreleased tracks and rare live footage.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

After a critically acclaimed trio of 7" singles--two self-produced and one on the influential Scottish Postcard label--Australia's the Go-Betweens recorded their first album, SEND ME A LULLABY, with new drummer Lindy Morrison augmenting the duo of Robert Forster and Grant McLennan. The songs on this album explore a jerking, spare style of folk music that is both oddly unsettling and demanding of attention at the same time.

The most obvious example of this effect is Forster's "Eight Pictures," a musically-sparse tale of an unattainable girl stalked by the photography-obsessed narrator that has two incongruous elements--a bizarre, massive-sounding drum solo and an extremely out-of-place lyrical joke. Other standouts include the clear, distant guitar structure of McLennan's "One Thing Can Hold Us," the pulsing, bass-heavy "All About Strength," and the faux-country elements filling out the rather odd tempo of "Ride." Though the Go-Betweens may not have been too polished at the time, knew exactly the kind of music that they wanted the world to hear.
