This heavyweight deluxe box set combines James‘ two ’90s experiments with producer Brian Eno: the 1993 hit Laid and its elastic successor, Wah Wah.
The two albums are included in their entirety, and then come the outtakes, B-sides, and BBC Sessions — the kind of thing that seems like collector bait but, in the context of this box, whose messiness only highlights how this was possibly James’ creative peak. All the untitled jams — and there are a lot, some subtitled with instructive descriptions like “Fabulous Melody But Unusual Bass” or “Beefheart Jam” — give a good sense of the band’s ambition, while the live renditions show how they could sharpen their execution on-stage. Surely, this is something for the already converted, but for those listeners, this Super Deluxe edition can only deepen their love.
