THE MAGNETIC FIELDS
69 Love Songs
2020 U.S. 3xCD reissue
There aren’t many albums that I would rather own and listen to on CD than on vinyl, but this is absolutely one of them.
A sprawling indie rock masterpiece that I revisit a few times a year, and still feels as magical as I did when I first bought it in 1999.
Six 10” records is an incredibly inconvenient way to listen to this masterpiece. I did it once, and to be honest, the records didn’t sound good enough to warrant that kind of inconvenience.
Much in the same way as Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins, another album I’m more than happy to stick to CDs with.
This is one of the defining albums of the late 1990s; an awesome range of styles, and beautiful songcraft.
