The Great Project: Entry 2
This is the third disc in a three CD box set that chronicles Belle and Sebastian’s first three eps from 1997. There are four songs, mostly standard issue Belle music. The stand out track to me is “Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie” a track that would fit well on either of the two most recent Belle releases. This is early stuff, but it is important. It might not be the strongest offering from the group, but it shows how they developed early and how while later developments might have sounded drastic, they were in fact there all along.
Once I get the other two discs of this set reviewed I will make my decision on keeping them or not. I think at this point I lean toward keeping them for two reasons, 1) it is a box set (something that I like to have around), and 2) Belle is one of my favorite bands.
