Maserati - Passages

In anticipation of their long-awaited new album coming in 2010, Athens, GA’s premier (or maybe only) psych-dance-rock-etc stalwarts collect their rare and out-of-print vinyl tracks from the past couple years onto CD for the first time. Featuring all four tracks from their blink-and-it’s-gone limited-edition split LP with Zombi, as well as their remix LP (featuring The DFA’s Tim Goldsworthy and !!!’s Justin Van Der Volgen), Passages is augmented with two previously unreleased tracks – the Moog-fueled meditative trance of Steve Moore’s “Monoliths” remix, and the positively sublime emotional heft of “Do You Hear The Nightbirds Calling?”, all remastered from the original master tapes and packaged with eye-popping new artwork. Maserati’s reputation varies depending on who you ask: They are either one of dance music’s most viscerally addictive live performers, or underground rock’s most ingenius hybrid of U2’s guitar heroics,

Pink Floyd’s arena-ready psych rock, and Daft Punk’s head-slamming, club-burning rhythms. Represented in all their sweaty, fist-pumping glory, Passages brings Maserati’s many unique, disparate worlds together. Also included on the Enhanced CD are two brilliant videos for “Inventions (Live)” and “This Is A Sight We Had One Day On The High Mountain.”
