Third, and final, box set includes he Tenement Year (1988), Cloudland (1989), Worlds In Collison (1991) and Lost Album (1989).With Pere Ubu on hiatus since 1982s excellent Song Of The Bailing Man, David Thomas had recorded a much-praised solo album and the band had now signed to a major label. In a period of rampant world commercialism, what would happen next?Another crucial era for the band unraveled, Pere Ubu's journey charted new undulating territory and so began a three-album escapade that retooled our understanding of what pop music is. The third in the four-part boxed set series, Les Haricots Sont Pas Sale1987-1991 sits between The Architecture Of Language 1979-1982 and Drive, He Said 1994-2002.Solid as the band can be, it's also likely to dissolve songs from the bottom up. For all Pere Ubu's uncertainty, the band isn't arbitrary; it's music has the off-the-wall unity of a Marx Brothers routine, said Jon Pareles of The New York Times on The Tenement Year.One year later and things were further obscured with Cloudland when they released their industrial-strength equivalent of a class Beach Boys album from musicians more familiar with factories than surf. (Greg Kot, Chicago Sun Times). Then, in 1991, Worlds In Collision became the most atmospheric, carefully sculpted recording in the band's 13-album catalog. (Tom Moon, Spin).Here we have Pere Ubu between 1987 and 1991 with three phenomenal pop albums, together with the Lost Album, an 11-track record of demos that sounds like they'd loosened the nut and bolts of the genre even further. Four of these tracks, Around The Fire, Down By The River, Like A Rolling Stone and Invisible Man were recorded as demos for the album originally designed to follow Cloudland. Referred to by the band as The Lost Album they are now joined with songs from Cloudland that wouldn't fit on the original vinyl release due to the length limitations of vinyl.Disc 1 - The Tenement Year1 Something's Gotta Give2 George Had A Hat3 Talk To Me4 Busman's Honeymoon5 Say Goodbye6 Universal Vibration7 Miss You8 Dream The Moon9 Rhythm King10 The Hollow Earth11 We Have The TechnologyDisc 2 - Cloudland1 Breath2 Race The Sun3 Cry4 Why Go It Alone?5 Waiting For Ma6 Ice Cream Truck7 Bus Called Happiness8 Love Love Love9 Lost Nation Road10 Nevada!11 Flat12 The Waltz13 Pushin14 Monday NightDisc 3 - Worlds In Collision1 Oh Catherine2 I Hear They Smoke The Barbecue3 Turpentine!4 Goodnite Irene5 Mirror Man6 Don't Look Back7 Worlds In Collision8 Life of Riley9 Over The Moon10 Cry Cry Cry11 Playback12 Nobody Knows13 Winter In The FirelandsDisc 4 - The Lost Album1 Down By The River2 Around The Fire3 Like A Rolling Stone4 Invisible Man5 Fedora Satellite6 Fire7 Bang The Drum8 Postman Drove A Caddy9 Wine Dark Sparks10 The Wire11 The B Side
