5.0 out of 5 stars Solid as Always, August 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Nature Film (Audio CD)

This band finds its rightful place at the top of my long and illustrious list of totally underappreciated bands. Highly literate stuff that couples its emotional menace with an almost serenely informed knack for creating taut, swimmingly melodic post-punk gems.

The PIL cover on this record is perhaps my favorite song of the year next to The Roots "Double Trouble" song.

Like everything else in their sterling catalogue, this record is worth treasuring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scrawl "best of" album is just that, July 17, 1998

Not everyone is lucky enough to have copies of Scrawl's back catalog, so they decided to re-record a few of their favorites, throw in some new tunes and a PIL cover and call it Nature Film. With cleaner production and still-great songwriting this is one of the most enjoyable Scrawl (or any band, for that matter) records I've ever heard. Not part of any "riotgrrls" movement, Scrawl is just a unique, wonderful band and I'm glad they're around.

Why has this band been forgotten? Why are they left to rot in amazon back catalogue space? Bands like the afghan whigs (they covered one song off this disc pick it up to figure out which one it is) have these girls as inspiration. Should i say gurrls, you get the idea. Where are u now? Nature film does for greatest hits albums as Nevermind (by nirvana) did to rock albums. Here we see the band be (i hate the label and all that goes with it but ...) grunge before the label existed. We see them be hardcore before hardcore was more then a type. They rock. They rule all. Pacific north westerners who have played all dives and bars that one should ever have to play they remain unknown. I cry for them. I saw them live with the second drummer. My heart wonders why more people don't know who the are. Most of the stuff they released is out of print by this if you can. This is one of the best best of albums released before 2000. There will never be another band who has the chops, or the history of these. When u hear these songs just sing along and say goodbye.
