Originally released in 1998 in Japan-only, this compilation features remixes of tracks from their 1997 eponymously titled, number one album.
Until this album, Blur was just another English dance-pop band
recycling '60s guitar licks and that tired Manchester beat
(dugga-dugga-cha, dugga-dugga- dugga-cha). But Modern Life is
Rubbish turned out to be the weirdest and most endearing head-rock
album since the Flaming Lips' Transmissions from the Satellite
Heart. The 17 songs revel in strange chord changes, bizarre sound
effects, off-kilter beats, gonzo lyrics, and English eccentricity,
bringing to mind Ray Davies, Syd Barrett, and Julian Cope jamming
together under the influence of what Blur calls the "Chemical
World." Songs like "Colin Zeal," "Pressure on Julian," and "Sunday
Sunday" boast killer hooks amid the chaos, making Modern Life Is
Rubbish valuable trash indeed. --Jim DeRogatis
13 is the sixth album by English alternative rock band Blur,
released in March 1999. The album reached number one in the UK
Albums Chart and number 80 in the US Billboard 200. 13 spawned
three hit singles: Tender, Coffee & TV and No Distance Left To
Run. Recording history: 13 sees the band moving further away from
their britpop past into more cerebral and denser musical territory.
Some of the songs, however, are evocative of songs from their
previous efforts, such as Bugman, Coffee & TV, 1992 and Optigan
1.
Compilation of music videos made by the Hammer and Tongs production

Goldsmith. The collection features tracks by, among others, Blur,
