Nobody is as fast as Frank Black. His work with the Pixies was like a string of firecrackers: tiny songs, most of them just over a couple of minutes long, that pop against the cold stone surface of pop music, each one leaving it's mark on the landscape. Black broke up the Pixies in 1993 and embarked on a solo career. In 2004 he embarked on a reunion tour with the Pixies and now continues to work on his own. This greatest hits collection is the first ever in Black's history! BEST OF 93-03, contains one new studio track in the 23 songs included on this set plus a bonus disc with extra exclusive tracks.

Amazing work...should get an award!
Tell you one thing, "93-01" by Frank Black rates in my mind as one of the best recordings of all time. It's amazing and will appeal to those who make their own trails through life when at all possible. One way to experience relief from the xxxx the world throws at you is through music. It's an escape valve and can keep your soul healthy.Maybe it's just me, but I can't remember the last time I could listen through so many songs on one cd which have this level of perspective on our society and way of life. Should get an award, but those who control most likely won't recognize it since they have a habit of pushing trash and ignoring the good stuff.

Sensational ...lyrical wizard whose voice & music seem to get better w/every listen !!!
For all you PIXIE fans, most of you , like myself, turn into huge FRANK BLACK/ BLACK FRANCIS fans !!! Whenever you put on a FB/BF cd...you anxiously await to see what emotional, psychological ride he's taking you on !!! ( Most of you FB/BF followers know exactly what I mean !!!) '' 93-03'' , IS A MUST ...

It's gotta be 5 stars because its Frank Black, but overall I hate best of's
I am not one for many words... Frank Black is a genius there is no doubt about that. His Pixies records and solo stuff are great... but as always a best of does not do justice to an artist with such a range of songs. If I were you I wouldn't buy this compilation, but buy his solo stuff starting from the beginning with the self titled album and then if you like that grab the next album (teenager of the year) and so on.The reviewer above quite rightly said that these songs take a while to sink in and appreciate. That's true for all of Frank's work... don't expect to put a Frank album on and immediately like it... give it 5 or so plays and the genius will hit you. Frank Black albums are special... buy them, not the best of!

Definitely not his greatest, could have added some tracks from black letter days.

Fantastico
Gran recopilatorio del que fuera cantante de los pixies, 22 cortes del mejor rock-indie americano, una gran compra, imprescindible en cualquier biblioteca musical, por cierto el disco viene con un bonus disc con temas en directo, altamente recomendable.

du bon franck black
Pour ceux qui connaissent déjà Franck Black, pas vraiment de surprises dans cet album.Beaucoup de titres déjà connus ici ou là.Quelques jolies versions néanmoins pour redécouvrir des titres sous une autre oreille.
