1997's I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One is not just the Hoboken, NJ-originating trio's first truly great record, it's one of the best records of the 1990s. This version of their eighth LP features added rarities which actually complement the already-long full-length; you will want to listen to the entire thing even as it gets to the third remix of the same song, because that song ("Autumn Sweater") is a masterpiece.

There's a lot here! Extended drones, brokenhearted lullabies, brief and gently pastoral Americana passages, late-night bossa nova, a chaotic and joyous rocker, one cover version, some space-age twang rock, an undeniably funky organ-propelled anthem that sounds like it's coming from a party you'll never be invited to, a beautifully fucked-up and driving post-Velvets jam, sweet timeless strummy pop, a melted country song, and the first song sung by bassist James McNew (who joined the band in 1992).

Yo La Tengo had been messing about with all of these elements for a dozen years prior to this. Their earlier albums were always tasteful examples of top-tier underground rock and from the start they were a strong band with excellent taste—covering the band Love on the B-side of their first 7", referencing Cheetah Chrome and the band America in the space of one song on an early album. And later they had the chutzpah to do a sweet, acoustic album of covers when it was not a cool thing to do, at the same time that they performed sleepy, dirty drone live shows under the name Sleeping Pill.

But here, on I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, it's all part of the same whole—finally. Even what should be wild swings in terms of sound, noise level, or instrumentation, come through as organic and of a whole. Recorded in Nashville, and produced by Roger Moutenot, this was the album that made everyone into a Yo La Tengo fan. And for the fans, this version combines tracks from the excellent Autumn Sweater remix EP (one of Kevin Shield's best remixes, with Tortoise as well—though the best mix is by µ-Ziq). It also includes live-in-the-studio Peel Sessions takes, notably the great version of "Shadows," and a wonderfully long take on "I Heard You Looking." © Mike McGonigal/Qobuz
