VINYL FORMAT. LP version includes a bonus CD. Accelerate, the first studio album in four years from R.E.M., finds modern rock's most acclaimed band returning to the stripped down, guitar-driven power that first enraptured fans. Helmed by the band and, for the first time, Jacknife Lee (co-producer of U2's '05 Grammy® Album Of The Year How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, The Hives, and Snow Patrol), Accelerate puts the 2007 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame group once again firmly behind the wheel of alternative   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Turning away from the sweet pop of Out of Time, R.E.M. created a haunting, melancholy masterpiece with Automatic for the People. At its core, the album is a collection of folk songs about aging, death, and loss, but the music has a grand, epic sweep provided by layers of lush strings, interweaving acoustic instruments, and shimmering keyboards. Automatic for the People captures the group at a crossroads, as they moved from cult heroes to elder statesmen, and the album is a   [ read more ]

Includes new essays by album producers Mitch Easter and Don Dixon, and former I.R.S. executives Jay Boberg, Sig Sigworth, Carlos Grasso and Michael Plen.

Basically a singles collection from R.E.M.'s first five albums, Eponymous gives the listener a sense of the band's change from folk-rock to rock. The songs are intelligently selected, distilling most of the best moments from their first five albums for IRS. Included is the original single of "Radio Free Europe," and different mixes of "Gardening at Night" (where it's actually possible to hear the vocal) and "Finest Worksong," and the previously unreleased (and unspectacular) {&"Roman   [ read more ]

R.E.M.'s eponymous second album, Reckoning, re-mastered and re-issued. Second disc includes a live recording taken from a performance at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom in 1984. R.E.M's second album, Reckoning, saw them abandoning the post-punk aesthetic of their debut for a more garage-pop orientated sound. This LP contains ten melodic, jangly-pop gems - all driven by Michael Stipe's distinctive vocals. Although vastly different from its predecessor, Reckoning still proved to be ju   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. "Leaving behind the garagey jangle pop of their first recordings, R.E.M. developed a strangely subdued variation of their trademark sound for their full-length debut album, Murmur. Heightening the enigmatic tendencies of Chronic Town by de-emphasizing the backbeat and accentuating the ambience of the ringing guitar, R.E.M. created a distinctive sound for the album - one that sounds eerily timeless. Even though it is firmly in the tradition of American folk-rock, post-punk, and garage r   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. R.E.M's second album, Reckoning, saw them abandoning the post-punk aesthetic of their debut for a more garage-pop orientated sound. This LP contains ten melodic, jangly-pop gems - all driven by Michael Stipe's distinctive vocals. Although vastly different from its predecessor, Reckoning still proved to be just as influential a part of the '80s underground rock scene.

The second LP of R.E.M. Mach II (post-Bill Berry) finds the 21-year vets exploring more of Up's sensual cosmos, only via their directly-melodic, early '90s writing. Like a warmer, more rainy version of their 1991 breakthrough smash LP Out of Time, the trio with hand-picked permanent guests seems totally inspired by the chamber-spiritual, subconscious elements they now favor. The opening "The Lifting" is a perfect example. Michael Stipe's epicurean, beguiling vocal comes out of swatches of looping, icy keybo   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. R.E.M. began to move toward mainstream record production on Lifes Rich Pageant, but they didn't have a commercial breakthrough until the following year's Document. Ironically, Document is a stranger, more varied album than its predecessor, but co-producer Scott Litt  who would go on to produce every R.E.M. album in the following decade  is a better conduit for the band than Don Gehman, giving the group a clean sound without sacrificing their enigmatic tendencies.
