Product Description:
The second in a series of Robyn Hitchcock retrospective box sets from Yep Roc, the five-disc ''Luminous Groove'' box set shines a light on Robyn's rock & roll renaissance with the Egyptians. In 1985 Robyn's newest group, with ex-Soft Boys Andy Metcalfe and Morris Windsor plus keyboardist Roger Jackson, marked the next stage in the career of one of popular music's most unique creators. ''Fegmania!'' is a return to band format, showcasing the new outfit through sonic tapestries around Hitchcock's signature skittered melodies and private lyrics. On ''Element of Light,'' The Egyptians glide between regal pop and driving psychedelia, resulting in one of the most deliberate and nuanced rock records of the decade. ''Gotta Let This Hen Out!'' captures a blazing live set by the Egyptians from London's Marquee club in early 1985. The band blasts through new and old Hitchcock classics, effortlessly blending the show into what amounts to a live best-of collection and reminding fans that Robyn's legend is built as much on loud guitars as it is on eerie metaphors and jagged melodies. All three albums contain new bonus tracks exclusive to ''Luminous Groove.'' In addition to these three seminal albums, the set also includes two exclusive bonus discs entitled ''Bad Case of History'' which features previously unreleased studio recordings, including the final 1994 sessions, and a CD of unheard live material. Just as with Yep Roc's first box set collection ''I Wanna Go Backwards,'' the curation of ''Fegmania!,'' ''Element of Light,'' and ''Gotta Let This Hen Out!'' into one box set encapsulates a critical portion of the creative life of Britain's Mad Hatter of pop and further illuminates Hitchcock's gloriously mysterious ''Luminous Groove.'' ''Luminous Groove'' is also available as an eight-LP vinyl set.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - How many times will the fans pay?
The three previously released albums here are among the strongest of Hitchcock's long career:those who love anglo-american guitar rock, eccentric songwriters, and indie music in general, and who don't already have these albums should consider picking this up.

However, I have to question whether it makes sense for the longtime fan to purchase this set.Some of us have already spent good money for the original vinyl LPs and singles, the 1980s UK-issued CDs with bonus tracks (which already ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Killer Hitchcock
Highly recommended reissue of the cream of the crop for Hitchcock devotees, and a great place to start for neophytes.Generous bonus tracks and noticeable improvement in sound quality make this set (or these individual titles) an essential.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - His throwaways are better than most artists' greatest hits.
More songs about cathedrals and food.

The sticker on this box advertises 54 bonus tracks.To me, however, the reissued LPs ARE the bonus tracks to another great set of Robyn Hitchcock previously unreleased recordings.RH is one of the very rare artists who's throwaways are better than a lot of other artists' greatest hits records.

I used to listen to Soft Boys and RH records in the 80s and in the past few years, I've rediscovered him.He quickly became one of my very favorite ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must-Have for Hitchcock Fans
I already had most of the original albums that made up the previous "I Wanna Go Backwards" Hitchcock box set, so I gave that one a miss.But "Luminous Groove" contains three albums that have been out of print for a long time and hard to find even used.So as soon as I heard it was coming out, I pre-ordered, on the basis of just the three re-issued albums. I didn't know that there would be two additional bonus disks! So, between three excellent re-issues, the bonus tracks on those disks, and the "live" and ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - That's actually 4.8 stars rounded up
It's worth it just for "A Bad Case of History, Disc 1," which is a collection of lost and thoroughly wonderful stuido tracks.I would like to remove 0.2 stars from my rating for the tracks "Dwarfbeat" and "The Can Opener," which are mysteriously missing from this set's versions of "Fegmania!" and "Element of Light," respectively.Why, why, why must we always get these boxed sets that are supposedly "comprehensive," but are always missing one or two tracks?Grrrr!Good set, but hang onto your old Rhino releases, ...
