Double vinyl LP pressing. Primal Scream compile one of the greatest singles discographies into this expansive best of collection with Maximum Rock 'N' Roll The Singles. Over the past three and a half decades, Primal Scream have embraced everything from psychedelic pop to degenerate rock 'n' roll; euphoric rave to industrial gloom. They have made records with George Clinton and Kate Moss, invited Mani of the Stone Roses and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine into the fold, survived narcotic oblivion, personal trauma and the death of beloved guitarist Robert InchThrobInch Young, and captured the mood of the nation several times over. Throughout it all, they have always sounded like Primal Scream. And they have always made great singles. From their psychedelic roots to the era-defining hedonism of Screamadelica through to the sonic attack of XTRMNTR and beyond, the eclectic nature of Primal Scream has been matched by the sheer consistency of their singles and they have become part of Britain's musical heritage.

The solo piano music of Ives represents an extraordinary achievement. Experimental is a word often associated with it. But experimental in what sense? Certainly he was exploring a wholly unique and personal style. Ives' music is by turns, exploratory, powerful, sensitive and transcendental always wholly consistent within it's own, sometimes highly unusual terms. These qualities are there in abundance in his two crowning achievements the first and second sonatas. The studies and others orbit round these like planets to twin suns.
