CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Known as much for their consistent touring as their prolific output, San Diego?s instrumental post-rock quintet Tristeza formed in 1997. The members came together after playing in such seminal San Diego bands as The Locust, Crimson Curse, Swing Kids and Gogogo Airheart, among others. In promotion of their first single, Tristeza toured three times, making the 7" a best-seller and proving that the band could pull off their intricate instrumental sound onstage as well as in the studio. Soon after, Tristeza recorded their first full-length, Spine and Sensory, to huge critical acclaim. This is a reissue of that long out-of-print disc. The album has been remastered at Digiprep Studios in Hollywood (who master most Rhino reissues) and expanded with three hard-to-find tracks. "Macrame" and "La Verdad" were featured on the very limited Tristeza Insound Tour CD, while "Pink Elephants" was featured on the out-of-print Rocket Racer 7". Jimmy LaValle, featured on this release, is now playing full-time as The Album Leaf (Subpop) and Stephen Swesey plays with Los Angeles based Languis (Plug Research). Although they?ve been in seclusion for the past two years, Tristeza is currently reforming with original members Christopher Sprague, Luis Hermosillo and James Lehner. The Tristeza saga is set to continue? Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGolden Hill Frank Saponare | Detroit, MI | 08/13/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I first saw tristeza 7 years ago at an independant music festival in Wayne, Michigan. The fest was centered around hardcore punk (with a generous handful of fugazi rip-offs) and it lasted three days long. At some point during day 2, a band dressed in all dark clothing took the stage and didn't even address the crowd as to the beginning of their set. This faux pas made me raise an eyebrow. They started playing this slow, yet driving music and i just stood there in front watching...waiting for the vocals to kick in. They never came. At the time (being that all i was listening to was thrash), my predictable ADD reaction to this would've been to walk away and bum around the vinyl distros, but i didn't. I just stood there stumped with my jaw dropped wondering where the hell this band came from. My tastes were instantly expanded and my record collection changed forever. this record, in ways, doesn't stand up to the likes of (some)Mogwai, Tortoise, don caballero, Directions In Music...but for a debut full length from a young band (a bunch of San Diegons *and one hometown boy*, coming from a scene where no one seemed to be slowing down) its worth the listen. Hopefully it will turn a few on to their later, more mature material and hopefully those few will get a chance to see them live...its worth it. " My my my..pink elephants CAN fly J. Gonzalez | orlando | 11/03/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "from start to finish this cd had my attention...golden hill just pulls you in and that's how it all begins my friend...songs like "The Marrionette" and "Cinematography" inspire you and bring you up into the clouds, and "Pink Elephants" is a sentimental journey through euphoria...with melodious guitar stylings and slow yet grooving drum beats and bass lines...a perfect blend of piano and guitar...this was put together nicely.."
