  Rolling Stone : Experimental Jet Set, Trash & No Star : Review
No Star alternates between whimsy and mayhem, due to the push and pull of Moore and Ranaldo's guitars, backed by Shelley's steady beat.
The first half of the album is the stronger of the two, opening with the solo acoustic guitar, Stones-meet-Westerberg ditty "Winner's Blues." From the enigmatic "Bull in the Heather," featuring Gordon's breathy talk-singing, to the gales of feedback and full-on glam slam of "Starfield Road," the Sonics test their limits with passionate conviction.
While No Star could stand a couple fewer lazy, hazy drifters, the record is quietly confident, more ambitious and weirder than Dirty.

"Jet Set" is also the last record to heavily feature Kim on bass -- she primarily plays guitar on all of the subsequent albums.
The obvious reason was Kim's pregnancy, very apparent in both the "Bull in the Heather" video (the only single from "Jet Set") and Sonic Youth's first of two TV appearances to support the album, their return to Letterman (now hosting "The Late Show") on May 17th, performing "Bull".
"Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star" is also notable because it features SY's first inclusion of a hidden track on the CD release -- just over a minute after "Sweet Shine" finishes, there's 1 minute and 24 seconds of "bonus noise" (the looped speech is supposedly a Japanese gas attendant).

Initially inspired by the noise experimentation of Glenn Branca--with whom most of the band have performed--as well as the heavy garage rock-acid-rock of The Stooges, they were known for using a variety of unorthodox guitar tunings, and for applying screwdrivers or other preparations to guitars to alter the instruments' timbre.
They were associated with the "No Wave" art/music scene in New York City, but have outlasted most associated bands.

The band are in complete command of their craft here, and they need no one but themselves to help them prove it.
I've since heard several other SY albums over the years, and I always gave them a great chance -- because, damn, this is the group that made Experimental Jet Set, etc. And I think I'm ready to commit now -- this album was their best, at least of the ones I know.
"Experimental Jet Set, Trash And No Star" is a very fitting title because the songs are short and unconventionally put togther...

"Experimental, Jet Set, Trash and no Star" was the last album that I remember anticipating, and I don't remember thinking much about Sonic Nurse when it came out (other than it is a horrible name for a record).
Later while reflecting on that promise I realized that I have NEVER rocked even close to that hard and there is no reason to think that I am going to start rocking like that anytime soon.
Green that is. He asked about you yesterday, I told him I had emailed you a while back but I never heard from you.

 TrouserPress.com :: Sonic Youth
During this early period, Sonic Youth was intimately connected with the noisy remnants of the New York no wave scene, inspired by the dense guitar tapestries of Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca, with whom Moore and Ranaldo had both played.
Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star is the band's most private record since Sister, and also its most overt exploration of the blues — not so much as a musical form but as a feeling.
Ranaldo's solo works include From Here to Infinity, an experimental collection of short lock-groove compositions (most under a minute long) — some of which are included on the career overview East Jesus, which touches on spoken- word narrative and incorporates tape loops to underscore atmospheric, sometimes heavily processed guitar pieces.

Malgré cela, Experimental Jet Set, Trash & No Star représente sans doute le versant de leurs travaux le moins abrupt.
Whereas Dirty and its predecessors were loud, distorted, and bordering on the fine line between pop and noise, Experimental Jet Set, Trash & No Star did away with the ear-bleeding guitar feedback so often attributed to the group.
With their 1994 release, Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star, however, the noisy and innovative messiahs of experimental and alternative sound somewhat burnt out, uninspired and less "sonic." This album was more mellow than its predecessors, which wasn't a bad thing.

 Sonic Youth offers old and new, but lacks vibrance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
In fact, although I consider myself a "solid" fan, I only recognized four songs: "Schizophrenia," "Bull In the Heather," "Self-Obsessed and Sexxee," and "Candle," all of which were enthusiastically welcomed by the audience, dying as we were to hear some familiar SY songs.
What SY intended to do while unintentionally alienating their fans is unclear, in typical SY style, but the songs had the unmistakable SY "aura" about them, and it wasn't difficult to pretend I was listening to a better version of songs from Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star.
Celeste Winnant '95 noted that the band "looked a little dweeby in their cotton polo button-downs." I was disappointed to note that she was right.

Sonic Youth: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star [DGC, 1994]
Instead of distilling their weakness for experimental trash into noise-rock that sounds like a million bucks, they apply their skill at major-label compromise to their eternal propensity for experimental trash.
After all this time, they know what they're doing when they fuck around, and their long-evolving rock and roll groove breaks down only when they have something better to do--there's nothing aleatory, accidental, or incompetent about it.

In light of Sonic Youth's most recent release, "Experimental Jet Set, Trash, and No Star," Dave's assessment seems right.
Noticeably absent from Experimental Jet Set, Trash, and No Star, so named because of their desire to experiment with music, their intrigue with glamour, and their "trashy," scurrilous backgrounds, is SY's former reckless abandonment to rock.
On "Experimental," they don't sound like they're having fun, they sound like they're working.

 Sonic Youth: Experimental Jet Set, Trash And No Star ---Ink Blot Magazine
Subsequent albums and tours have served to bolster the band's popularity, even when not establishing any new plateaus of creativity.
When they recorded this album in 1993, the crude bubbling up out of the ground was shrowded in tape hiss; lo-fi revolutionaries like Sebadoh, Peter Jefferies, and Guided By Voices asserted the priorities of creative song craft and spontaneity over those of production values and calculated presentation.
Sonic Youth embraced these bands as peers, and their influence is evident on Experimental Jet Set, Trash And No Star.

i sampled Experimental Jet Set Trash No Star (i think that's the whole title) and thought it was really bad.
I later found out, that the night before that show, someone broke into their van and stole a bunch of their custom stuff so they were pissed...so we got a horrible show.
You should listen to 'Bull in The Heather' from the 'Experimental Jet Set, Trah and no star' album, it's such an amazing song.

I have no doubt in my mind this is due to flaws in the master tapes, but some hiss is present, and a little distortion is noticeable in the louder portions.
It's possible the distortion could have even been part of the recording process, since Cream recorded with full Marshall stacks, dimed, which would no doubt present a challenge to record.
The arpeggios at the start lead into an electronic sounding drum beat, with Thom Yorke's ever haunting vocals chanting the 1984 mantra, "two and two always make a five." The slow section builds up to a really rocking ending, complete with twangy guitars and hard drums, but still with electronic sounds.

Sonic Youth had unwittingly ushered in grunge with their last indie album, 1988's Daydream Nation, then with 1990's Goo and 1992's Dirty.
Two years after releasing Dirty, their greatest commercial success up to date, Sonic Youth came up with this exceptional album and showed us all that they have absolutely no intension of selling out.
The general tone of Experimental Jet Set may be more mature and less noisy than some of their previous releases, but it is still a unique, uncompromising album which doesn't seem to have a single song out of place.

It's as if the group pared down the entire history of western philosophy in one catchy, short ditty.
The thing that sets the Lips apart, in my mind, is that they remain objective in recognizing their own human imperfection.
Maybe this is what I was meant to glean from our 20-minute conversation.

For some drunken reason I would like to essay forth on the idea of intelligence for a moment, since it's been playing on my mind on the way home.
Trying to steer my career towards design I have been forced to reconsider my ideas to protect my ego, and foremost I've been thinking about what my new token of self-respect will be when I'm no longer a "brainy but misled programmer".
For as long as I can remember I've seen a parallel between humans and computers in terms of ability, the defining trait of the difference is described by the computing camp as "intelligence" and by most theologicians as "soul".
