Music reviews of Eight Miles High/Makes No Sense At All [EP]
Music Review: A bit hard to find, but quite a little goodie
Rating: 5 Stars
This EP combines two singles from the 1984-1985 period, "Eight Miles High" and the single version of "Makes No Sense At All." The latter of the two was included on a later album ('85's Flip Your Wig), but the version found here has a crisper guitar tone and uses less distortion. The non-LP single "Eight Miles High" is a brutal, yet awesome reading of the Byrds' infamous foray into psychedelia (which goes to show how much the Byrds' "Fifth Dimension" era material inspired Husker Du to take that kind of experimentation to the extreme with "Zen Arcade"). The Husker's version of "Eight Miles High", quite frankly, rocks. The minor key melody is still there, although it's pushed into the background by Mould's frantic shouting and feedback-drenched guitar. Where the original version demonstrated a fear of flying, this version is pure paranoia. This is awesome and it stands as one of the best cover songs I've ever heard. Another interesting cover found here is "Love is All Around," aka the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song. This song showcases the Huskers displaying a rarely seen naive innocence, and I love the fact that they use both a tambourine and a heavily distorted guitar in the same song, and it actually works. The live version of "Masochism World" isn't a very good recording, but it does showcase the intensity that Husker Du brought to their live performances.The only problem with this CD is that it's too short. I wish they would put out some more of the band's singles and b-sides (I would also like to hear their live cover of "Ticket to Ride"). Maybe someday, but for now, this is the best we have. So if, by chance, you do see this CD in a music store, pick it up. It should come pretty cheap.
