CD 1 & 2: PAST IMPERFECT The best of tindersticks ’92 - '21
CD 3: Live At Glasgow City Halls 5th October 2008
Opgericht in 1991, actief sinds 1992 en in 1993 uitkomen met het eerste, titelloze album dat prompt door muziekblad Melody Maker wordt gebombardeerd tot album van het jaar. Mooi begin. Vorig jaar, in februari, verscheen Distractions, het dertiende studioalbum. Daartussenin dertig jaar en een honderdtal even sfeerrijke als melancholische nummers, veelal voorgedragen door de mompelende en met literaire talenten begiftigde frontman Stuart Staples.
Om het dertigjarige bestaan van de Britse band te vieren, verschijnt nu de compilatie Past Imperfect; The Best of Tindersticks ’92 - ’21. Meer precies, de negentien ‘beste nummers’ plus een nieuwe track, getiteld Both Sides of the Blade. Het geheel valt in twee delen uiteen. Zo bevat de eerste helft het werk van de originele line-up (Staples, gitarist Neil Fraser en multi-instrumentalist David Boulter, samen met drummer Al Macaulay, bassist Mark Colwill en multi-instrumentalist Dickon Hinchliffe). De tweede helft bestaat uit een collectie van de huidige line-up (naast Staples, Fraser en Boulter zijn dat drummer Earl Harvin en multi-instrumentalist Dan McKinna). Hoe dan ook, luisteren naar beide helften doet verlangen naar nog eens dertig jaar.
