Twenty-six songs spread over two CDs, or 42 songs on three discs, PRISONERS OF LOVE: A SMATHERING OF SCINTILLATING is a sprawling, enthralling summation of the career to date of Yo Loa Tengo. The double-CD version crams together previously released highlights from the band's pre-Matador tenure, along with the most sizzling moments from their second decade in show biz. The third disc is the sort of rarities collection that'll have you wondering why Matador bothered to do a two-disc version. Beautifully packaged with liner notes from Byron Coley and Joe Puleo.
