Subtitled "Mini Masterpieces 1983-85," BEAUTIFUL WASTE AND OTHER SONGS is a well-chosen selection of rare and unreleased songs by Australian post-punk rockers the Triffids. Though these 19 songs were recorded over the space of several years, they're stylistically of a piece, so much so that, like such similar releases as the Smiths' LOUDER THAN BOMBS, this hangs together as well as or better than many of the Triffids' proper albums. Highlights include "Ballad of Jack Frost" and "Bright Lights, Big City."
