EPs that are really F*cking awesome

[Sexy Bitch]

 

[Rdy4Summer]

Man you're young! Anyway, it's nice to see someone else on here digs that album as much as I do.

BoarRAB of Canada - In A Beautiful Place Out in the Country

My Bloody Valentine had a ton of awesome EPs, some of the best of any band in my opinion.

Sunny Sundae Smile

Lush had some fantastic early EPs; Gala was a collection of their first 3 and maybe their best release (they turned crappy later). It included Scarlet, my favorite song by them, and a lot of their noisier stuff!

Lastly, the Lazarus EP by the Boo Radleys could be my favorite EP from any band. It was the perfect corabination of all their styles, and ran together perfectly.

 

[Georgia T]

How dare you?

 

[WaterGuy]

Skinny Puppy - Remission
Their first official release from 1984. When released on CD, it came with a bunch of bonus tracks so I always thought it was an LP. I recently made myself a copy, trimming out the bonus tracks, to hear it as the EP it was intended to be.

Squarepusher - Budakhan Mindphone

BoarRAB of Canada - Hi Scores

The Mars Volta - Tremulant

 

[C-C]

Indeed. Coming up on 15 this summer.

 

[Ballin954]

The cover is, but I copied the wrong art work... Here it is.

All their stuff is great though .

 

[supastar_actrezz]

the first release by boy problems 2.0, boys & sex EP, is my personal EP of the year.

 

[fuzzywatcherrf]

Oh yeah I forgot Call To Arms by BOTAR. That **** kicks ass. Thing is, I didn't bother getting EPs until somewhat recently, so my collection is a bit small. Oh well, it'll get better.

 

[Blob H]

Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Isis

No matter what Adidasss says.

 

[djannika]

Adidasss loves it, whachutalkabout?

 

[MLAchick69]

Some great ones:

TV on the Radio

 

[damario rocka]

Yes! When I saw them last month they played Concertina, I couldn't believe it.

Water Curses - Animal Collective
Single-handedly lead me out of the musical dark age that was 8th grade. Pretty damn powerful for 4 songs.

Silver - Jesu

Yeah Yeah Yeahs released something worthwhile?

 

[Tabby!]

One of the best things they have ever done:

A fine slice of Gothic Rock right here:

No cover! Burial/Four Tet split. Fantastic Arabient 2 tracker:

Nothing short of superb:

 

[RODDERS790]

^It's just too amazing.

Also, I have to go look up that Midnight in a Perfect World one now. ><



I'll toss in:

One of my favorites

 

[Nebemzo]

Self-titled EP from Scratch Acid that predated most other post-hardcore.

Stereolab's Crurab Duck -- their first collaboration with producer Steven Stapleton (of Nurse With Wound fame).

Debut EP from the Minutemen. Released as an LP but seeing as it's all of 16 minutes long I contest this.

 

[im such a grumpy bastard]

Oh man...can't believe I forgot that one. Actually I can since I rarely listen to them nowadays. I also can't believe I sold my copy of the original Re-Revisited CD back in college!

 

[Michael Jackson Lover]

I can't believe that I sold my vinyl copy of this. I bought it one the day of release. Just get Garage, Inc for all their E.P'S/cover versions. I listen to it far more than their regular music!

 

[musicworld]

Representin' da mainstream!

Has two of their best songs on it and just generally kicks ass.

Just two songs but they encapsulate the vibe of a lazy summer afternoon better than anything else I've heard (short of Cesaria Evora). I crank it up every July and almost cry from the melancholy.

The only thing they put out, a pretty awesome bit of dance punk.
