Okay... So this isn't an album as such but a collection of revamped Birthday Party songs recorded even better than they sound on the albums that they appear. The production is clean and raw dirty at the same time. In my opinion their songs have always sounded better live (listened to obviously on their live recordings and witnessed on the fantastic Pleasure Heads Must Burn DVD) the peel sessions deliver just that; a live sound recorded professionally with all the disdain and hatred for human kind intact and in most cases intensified.
"Pleasure Avalanche" on The Bad Seed E.P sounds awesome BUT in the peel sessions it sounds SUPER fucking EAR-BLEEDING-AWESOME. "Cry" on Prayers On Fire sounds a little bit drab BUT (again) in the peel sessions it sounds SUPER fucking EAR-BLEEDING-AWESOME.
This collection is radical and should be heard by all, even those CREATURES that dislike The Birthday Party's agitated disturbing noise direct from the pits of despair and suffering. This is pure POST PUNK. 100% non-tampered with, POST PUNK. I'll do a review on "Junkyard" one of these days... so watch out for it.
This is a promotional video that was made for "Deep In The Woods" that appears on the Peel Sessions as well as the Mutiny sessions. Dark as a motherfuck, man.
