────┤ Notes  ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    └────────┘

     One of the leading bands of the second wave of New Zealand indie pop that
     emerged in the wake of the rise of the Flying Nun label, the Jean-Paul
     Sartre Experience began as a naive but tuneful alternative pop act and
     matured into an indie rock band with big guitars but the same sense of
     melodic adventure they had at the start. Formed in Christchurch, New
     Zealand in 1984, the Jean-Paul Sartre Experience were launched by bassist
     and lead singer Dave Yetton and drummer Gary Sullivan, who had begun
     working on songs together; the name was inspired by a roommate given to
     drug-addled discussions of the French existentialist's writings that could
     last for hours on end.

     The group expanded to a trio with the addition of guitarist David Mulcahy,
     and not long after they began playing out in 1985, a second guitarist, Jim
     Laing, filled out the JPSE's definitive lineup. The JPSE recorded a demo
     tape that they released in a cassette-only edition packed in re-purposed
     dog food cans; the tape earned them some college radio airplay as well as
     interest from New Zealand's legendary indie pop label Flying Nun Records,
     who signed the band in 1986 and shortly released a five-song EP (simply
     titled 'The Jean-Paul Sartre Experience'), as well as the album "Love
     Songs" (featuring several songs from the tin can demo and other early
     recordings, including the single 'I Like Rain'), which appeared before the
     year was out.

     The Jean Paul Sartre Experience may not rank in the top-tier of Flying Nun
     bands in most people's minds, but this set compiling everything they
     released may cause some re-evaluation. First emerging in the mid-'80s with
     a string of solid EPs and singles (compiled on the 'Love Songs' album), the
     band was a little tougher and less jangly than their counterparts. With an
     off-kilter lyrical view and songs that took unexpected twists, the group
     rewarded dedicated listening with their intelligent songcraft and churning
     emotions, but were capable of delivering sweetly melodic pop too.

     The classic "I Like Rain," which chugs along happily like a lost Split Enz
     hit, and the lovely ballad "Grey Parade," are fine examples of the latter.
     The first disc of the set contains "Love Songs", plus their ultra-rare
     six-song lo-fi cassette that was packaged in a dog food tin. The second
     disc is comprised of the band's first real album, 1989's "The Size Of
     Food", plus their 1991 three-song single "Precious." The record marked a
     jump ahead in recording quality, with a big, cavernous '90s drum sound and
     louder guitars, but also saw the band coming into full bloom as songwriters
     and performers. It's loaded down with great songs, all in different styles
     and moods, yet still of a piece.

     Kicking off with the darkly enchanting "Inside and Out," which sounds like
     the Triffids on steroids, the album runs through fiery indie rock ('Slip',
     'Mothers'), lilting indie pop ('Shadows'), grinding experimental sounds,
     and at least one song that the guys in Pavement must have studied pretty
     hard ('Cut Out'). It also includes one stone-cold classic track that should
     always be included on any compilation of Flying Nun highlights,
     "Elemental". "I Like Rain" is an impressive album, one that any fan of NZ
     pop should check out.

     The third disc collects their three post-Food EPs and their 1993 album
     "Bleeding Star". A more traditionally produced indie rock album with masses
     of loud guitars, underlying electronics, and vocals pushed to the front, it
     concentrates more on the pop side of the band and sounds a lot like a Jesus
     and Mary Chain album from the same era. Only better than that, since the
     band was still great at writing should-be hit singles like "Into You,"
     "Breathe," or the loping "I Believe in You." The slickness and willingness
     to play the alternative rock game was surprising at the time, but with the
     benefit of hindsight, it's easier to discern the album's charms. Taken all
     together, the set is a fascinating document of a band you see change from
     the kind of band who'd release a cassette in weird packaging to a band
     making a grab for the brass ring of success.

     Along the way, there were considerably more hits than misses, though, and
     any fan of Flying Nun will find much to love here. Hopefully the
     rediscovery spurred by the reissue will help boost their status in the
     label's hierarchy.
