Actually there's not much to say. I couldn't beleive they split up to be honest. Very sad day...
Anyway Surfa Rosa (inc Come on Pilgrim on CD) is one of their best to be sure! Although I prefer Trompe Le Monde (Alec Eiffel!!) who could live without the Holiday Song? hmm?
Seriously (yeah right) The Pixies were (and still are to their fans) one of the most interesting things to happen to alternative music in recent years. Their mixture of Hispanic riffs and screechy lyrics/guitars made them an instant success and has given them an enduring cult following.
Anyone seen Fight Club? "Where is my mind" at the end...cool!
Anyway (again) if you want a good example of these Pixies are all about you can't do worse than to get this CD!
