Review

Entertainment Weekly (p.120) - "[M]usic this appealing is impressive in any era..."

Title Note

Saint Etienne's dreamy, pleasure-button-pushing combination of 1960s-era pop hooks and electronica-influenced beats is difficult to resist, and while the band's albums are consistently strong, this singles collection may be the best overview of the group's aesthetic. Between 1990 and 2005, Saint Etienne released a long string of popular singles, building on a sound that evoked the swinging London of yore and the decadent dance vibe of house music at once, while keeping the sound fresh and ever-evolving over time. TRAVEL EDITION represents that trajectory, from the band's first single, "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," a hip-hop-tinged cover of the Neil Young song, to 2004's "Fascination," a breezy, trip-hop/lounge tune showcasing the wispy, alluring vocals of Sarah Cracknell.

During the course of TRAVEL EDITION, Saint Etienne flirts with naive, Velvet Underground & Nico-esque pop ("Hobart Paving"), silky disco ("Hug My Soul"), psychedelic '60s rock ("Lose That Girl"), and airy ditties ("Mario's Cafe"), all underscored by group founders Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs's fine songwriting and impeccable production sense. The non-chronological sequencing of the collection emphasizes how the group remained consistent in quality and vision, while continually adding new ideas, making TRAVEL EDITION a well-selected retrospective, and a particularly enjoyable listen.
