There is a really good review of The Suburban Light re-issue on Pitchfork, not just complimentary but a (readable!) analysis of what makes this album so special. I always feel slightly uneasy about posting their songs out of context & this explains why. An unusual degree of lucidity for a review :) http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19257-the-clientele-suburban-light-reissue/
@simonp Good news :) The Suburban Light reissue is definitely worth ordering the from Merge. They also throw in a download of the LP & the extra tracks which also come on Cd, so that you end up with 2 versions of 'Monday's Rain' the album version and the 8 track original (which sounds wonderful) plus other stuff which ranges from the interesting t the jaw-droppingly gorgeous!

Sacrilegiously, I don't have this! Got into them at Strange Geometry but I have now ordered. Phew...
