Review - :
One of those rare instances when a comp pleases both veteran and neophyte, this two-CD overview of {$the Fall}'s '90s output features one killer CD of highlights and singles and one CD worth of odds and sods. Disc one does a great job of making sense of a insanely diverse decade for the group, one filled with guest fiddlers, almost {\pop} singles, flirtations with {\electronica}, sloppy {\garage} albums, and 20 or so members in and out the door including key member and leader {$Mark E. Smith}'s ex-wife, {$Brix}. While fans will know these tracks by heart, {^A World Bewitched} does not take the easy, chronological way out. Instead, it makes interesting combinations by putting the raucous and ridiculous {&"I'm a Mummy"} next to the slick {&"Idiot Joy Showland"} or the primal {&"Strychnine"} right before the cerebral sprawler {&"Noel's Chemical Effluence."} Somehow, it all works, but the real proof that this {$Fall} comp tries twice as hard as most of the others -- and there are a ton -- is disc two: a rarities collection that couldn't be topped by a fan-club vote. {&"Ed's Babe"} and {&"The Real Life of the Crying Marshall"} are presented in single remixes that beat the album versions while the band's brilliant cover of {&"The Legend of Xanadu"} -- rescued from an obscure {~NME} magazine compilation -- must be heard to be believed. Bending the rules a bit, a wonderful set of non-{$Fall}, {$Mark E. Smith} collaborations round out the disc with {$Elastica}, {$Badly Drawn Boy}, and {$Edwyn Collins} all bringing out the lighter side of King Grumpus. For all the great moments and great albums that {$the Fall} were responsible for in the '90s, their career defining moments fell in the surrounding decades so a good as this set is, complete novices should save this for a second or third purchase. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
