The career of Sonic Youth has seen them sculpt an inimitable sound, capable of satisfying both avant garde, and mainstream alternative rock tastes. Detuning their guitars to create an atonal noise has paid interesting dividends for the band, and after building an illustrious back catalogue on the indie scene, the group settled on major label DGC in 1990. This compilation of their video work charters the latter period of the band, beginning with visual interpretations of every track from the album "Goo." Subsequent records spawned further adventures in the video field, and these efforts are also included here. Directors include famous names such as Todd Haynes and Spike Jonze, while guests ranging from Chuck D of Public Enemy, to former child star Macaulay Culkin, appear in the videos. Tracks featured include "Kool Thing," "Dirty Boots," "100%," and many others.
