5.0 out of 5 stars FYI, March 19, 2004

This wasn't Slint's "farewell" recording as some people seem to think. Slint's first album, Tweez, was recorded in 1987 and released in early 1989 on Jennifer Hartman Records. At that time, they recorded these two songs with the intent to follow up Tweez with a 12" single on the JH label as well. But before they could do that, they signed with Touch & Go Records. T&G didn't want a single, they wanted a full album. Therefore this was shelved. Their second album, Spiderland, was recorded sometime in 1990. Slint broke up around 1991 or '92, and then a year or two later it was decided to release this rather than leave it to rot in obscurity for all time.

EDIT: 3/4/08

As for the music itself- There are two songs on the disc. The first song is an alternate version of Rhoda from Tweez. The second song sounds like a Tweez outtake, though I don't think it is. The bottom line is, this sounds almost nothing like Spiderland.

5.0 out of 5 stars too bad they are gone, August 17, 2000

slint was an amazing band, and in many ways this untitled cd single was the perfect way for them to end their too short career. the first track is similar to the songs from spiderland (only better done, focusing more on the instrumental buildup, and without the lyrics), while the second song is a remake of a song off tweez. they are both excellent songs, showing why slint was one of the most influential bands of the last 15 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars I miss this band..., November 20, 1999

One last treat from the best band you never heard of. If you love their 2 full length records, this will only add to the giant feeling of loss at their all-too-soon break up. 2 tracks, totally amazing. It left me sad though, there is no more to come... But check out RODAN, same vein, also gone too soon.
