If nothing else, David Byrne deserves commendation for putting this out;
Rough Trade's collapse the previous year left A.R. Kane even more obscure
than before, so having some major label pull didn't hurt! While just a
compilation of various tracks from their Rough Trade career, Americana
remains much better than nothing. However, both sixty-nine and "i" are far
more complete and best heard as albums than the slightly scattershot
arrangement of selected tracks here, which feels a bit odd as a result.
Regardless, many of the band's most striking moments, such as
"Supervixens," "A Love From Outer Space," "And I Say" and "The Madonna Is
With Child," appear, along with some rarities to boot. Then-new track
"Water" is more slight than the usual fare, though the acoustic
guitar-driven "Green Hazed Daze," from an early single, wears its
Cocteauness on its sleeve strongly. The real keeper, though, is "Up," from
another single -- an endlessly building slow beauty of a track driven by
eight repeated notes, more echo and reverb than thought possible and a
quietly exultant Rudi lyric. Not a bad place to start if you can't find
anything else.
