Fudge - 20th Century Masters: The Singles Collection (1992)

This is a timely follow-up to this weeks post for Fudge's The Ferocious Rhythm of Precise Laziness album, something of a lost shoegazer classic, at least in my book. All nine songs here were ripped straight from the original singles, and six of them were rerecorded for Ferocious Rhythm. Fudge not only absorbed the dream-pop fundamentals from their British originators, there sound was also a wink and a nod to bands closer to their Arlington, VA home turf, including Edsel and Velocity Girl. "Oreo Dust," "Pez," and "Drive" (all of which would appear on the album) remain as some of my all-time favorite American indie pop songs, and believe me, that's saying a lot.
