 Great for fans. January 3, 2003

This is the soundtrack to the spectacular VHS/DVD "Instrument" by Fugazi, it is a great album for fans. It contains early/different versions of Fugazi songs that are already on Fugazi albums. It also contains some unreleased material. These different interpratations and unreleased songs are intresting but people who aren't as involved fans might not like it that much. The quality ranges from track to track and there are only 2 (I believe) songs with vocals on them "I'm So Tired" (one of the unreleased songs) is just Ian MacKaye playing piano and singing almost a ballad-like song, to me this song alone is worth the price. But, if you aren't a devoted fan I would advise buying another Fugazi album.
Great, but not a good introduction to Fugazi April 2, 2002

Usually, it's pretty annoying when a good artist releases an EP of wanky demos, four-track experiments, and outtakes, but Fugazi pulls it off well. The tracks here are mostly enjoyable, and a few are great (the instrumental version of Guilford Fall still hits me harder than the album version). It's also fun to hear Fugazi goof off, since they can come off as overly pious and serious sometimes. My only warning is this: do not buy this if you are not already a Fugazi fan, because it will not give you a good sense of the band. Start with 13 Songs, Repeater, or Red Medicine.

Hey Jem...nice tribute of the 'Electric Ladyland' album cover! Verrrrrrry subtle. By the way, are you one of the Cohen brothers? 'Raising Arizona' was great! Your next documentary should be about John Goodman's band. That would be AWESOME!

Listening to this album now I can see that it is my favourite by Fugazi. The mix and match compilation of all their demos leads you down the path into appreciating their later albums. If you like Fugazi's background tracks, the music beneath the lyrics then you will love this album, watch out for 12 and 17.

this release is really for the true fans. it goes well with the video, but i actually got this first and enjoyed it. there are a couple of throwaway tunes here; "me and thumbelina" and the demo version of "arpeggiator" for example, are losers. however, there are gems; "i'm so tired" and "turkish disco" are the kind of breathtaking tracks i expect from fugazi. but who am i kidding, i could listen to anything fugazi does 24/7.my only big complaint is that none of the live songs from the video are here. that would be awesome, especially since you can't get "furniture" a killer song, anywhere else. but hey, you never know, a live album could be in fugazi's future. i just hope to god furniture is on it!
