After 12 years of expanding the definition of rock music,
Tortoise release a highly anticipated box set. Lazarus
Taxon is the paleontological term for a species that
disappears, then reappears in the fossil record; its
namesake is this collection including rare singles from
foreign releases and tour EPs, compilation tracks,
previously unreleased material and the out-of-print 1995
album Rhythms, Resolutions & Clusters. The set contains
three CDs and one DVD, which features most of Tortoise's
music videos and extensive and rare live performance
footage.
Shortly following Tortoise's 1994 self-titled debut, the
band asked some friends to remix several tracks, resulting
in RR&C, a 30-minute continuous disc. The packaging was
made and assembled by hand and the limited pressing sold
out in the first year of release. At the time, remixes were
the tool of the DJ and found most commonly in the
dance-music world. RR&C and the 12inch series that
followedû some of which you will find in the set - set off
a wave of remixes and remix albums in the rock community. A
remix intended for this collection by Mike Watt makes its
debut in A Lazarus Taxon.
The photography that appears in the album artwork is the
work of Arnold Odermatt, a retired Swiss police
officer-turned artist. Assigned to document auto accidents
and police training, Odermatt's photos were far more than
documents. He often photographed the accident scenes again
after all the officers had left and the clutter had been
cleared. His photos were uncovered by the Springer and
Winkler Gallery, which had Odermatt reprint them in limited
editions. The photographs were an instant sensation and
garnered Odermatt wide acclaim. Several books have since
been published of his work. He has had solo shows at The
Museum of Contemporary Art in New York and The Art
Institute of Chicago. The Springer and Winkler Gallery and
Odermatt graciously allowed Tortoise to use photos that
they had selected for this package.
