On Fire | Peel Sessions

This reissue of the classic On Fire also includes the album Peel Sessions as a second disc! Having already made a fine account of themselves on Today, the three members of Galaxie 500 got even better with On Fire, recording another lovely classic of late '80s rock. As with all the band's work, Kramer once again handles the production, the perfect person to bring out Galaxie 500's particular approach. The combination of his continued use of reverb and the sudden, dramatic shifts in the music - never exploding, just delivering enough of a change - makes for fine results.
