4.0 out of 5 stars Great Canadian New Wave, March 7, 2005

A super CD, containing all of the early Spoons gems. I was lucky enough to catch them live in 1994, reunited and touring in support of this collection (Sandy Horne = wow!).

The only quibble I have with "Collectible Spoons" is that it excludes material from their very good 1988 album, "Vertigo Tango". I would have liked to see "When Time Turns Around" and the superb "Waterline" included on the collection. I know those later songs didn't match the popularity of the Spoons' earlier work, but they still deserved to be present on this career retrospective.

Notwithstanding that small flaw, "Collectible Spoons" is well worth the money for any serious fan of early-eighties music. It even includes what I believe is the best New Wave song of all time: "Nova Heart".

I never really appreciated the Spoons when they were at their peak of popularity in Toronto. I mean, really, Thrifty's Jeans? And that "Tell No Lies" track always drove me nuts. Of course, everything else they did was brilliant, and this compilation CD is really something special. Go buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer New Wave!, March 13, 2003

Those minor key fluid synth lines, passionate lyrics and drum machine sounding drums are all here! Good solid riffs!

Probably a major influence of Pulp!
