CLOSER TO THE STARS: Best Of The Twin/Tone Years is Soul Asylum's second compilation greatest hits album. This album contains all of their greatest hits during the time they were under the Twin/Tone label (1983–1986). The album also contains two previously unreleased cover tracks, "Move Over" and "Jukebox Hero" that were not available in the U.S. These songs were only available on the UK release of Clam Dip & Other Delights. The album was released in April 4, 2006. That means the best of the breakthrough years of one of alt-rock's first great bands! Dave Pirner's songwriting made this music stand out even amid the thriving mid-'80s Twin Cities scene: ''Can't Go Back''; ''Closer To The Stars''; ''Draggin' Me Down''; ''Move Over''; ''Freaks''; ''Carry On'' - 16 tracks from their beginnings as a teenage punk band, to becoming underground icons and then having platinum albums and MTV hits, Soul Asylum has seen it all. The band developed their trademark sound, a melodic blend of punk and '70s rock, on the ‘80s club circuit. At that time the Minneapolis triumvirate of Soul Asylum, Hüsker Dü and the Replacements were unbeatable in the urgeoning "alternative rock" scene.
PERSONNEL: Dave Pirner – lead vocals, rhythm guitar, saxophone, piano; Dan Murphy – lead guitar, backing vocals; Karl Mueller – bass; Grant Young, Pat Morley – drums.
Before they signed with A&M Records for the 1988 album Hang Time (and later broke big in 1992 with Grave Dancer's Union after jumping ship to Columbia), Soul Asylum were generally seen as the "little brother band" of the Minneapolis rock scene compared with relative heavyweights the Replacements and Hüsker Dü. That feeling is born out in listening to their early records, though not in a bad way - there's a young man's insouciance in the hardcore-inspired blathering of Say What You Will, Clarence that's genuinely winning, and on Made To Be Broken and While You Were Out, their ambition sometimes outstripped their abilities, but the "dammit, I'm serious" passion and anthemic guitar bashing were the work of a band eager to take on the world, whether they were ready or not. Though Soul Asylum became major stars for a while during the early-90s grunge explosion, their later fame never translated into greater recognition for their first three albums, which is too bad - while Hang Time was the album where the band's elements really came together properly in the studio, listening to the material on Twin/Tone made it clear they were already on the road to something special. CLOSER TO THE STARS: Best Of The Twin/Tone Years is a 16-track overview of Soul Asylum's formative years, with 14 tunes culled from the first three albums and two tongue-in-cheek covers drawn from the British release of the Clam Dip & Other Delights EP (something that was one of Soul Asylum's trademarks back in the day; too bad they couldn't included the infamous "James At Fifteen Medley" from a radio-promo EP). "Long Way Home," "Never Really Been," and the title cut are as good as anything Soul Asylum cut when they hit the big time, and though While You Were Out deserves a listen on its own, this disc does a great job of making the case that Soul Asylum's indie days are long overdue for reappraisal by fans.
