Bright Eyes is an American indie rock band founded by singer-songwriter and guitarist Conor Oberst. The band consists of Conor Oberst, multi-instrumentalist and producer Mike Mogis, trumpet and piano player Nate Walcott, and a rotating lineup of collaborators drawn primarily from Omaha's indie music scene.

Spoon is a music label established by Hildegard Schmidt in 1980. Hildegard was the manager of the influential Krautrock group Can and started Spoon to release their group, solo, and side-project material.

The early pressings of Spoon releases had a simplistic black on white label with no logo. The label name, Spoon-Records, was displayed boldly with the address 5000 Köln 30 underneath. Later pressings added an LC code (LC 7395) on the left of the label and revised the address slightly to D-5000 Köln 30. French (Celluloid) and Italian (Base Record) issues were released from 1981 onwards.

In the mid/late 1980s, Mute Records took up UK distribution for Spoon. In 1989, CD versions of Spoon releases were introduced with basic black print labels and no logos. These CDs were made in Switzerland and featured SPOON as part of the catalogue number. In 1991, when Mute took up international distribution, a logo for Spoon was introduced - block split inverse capitals in a box - appearing on vinyl labels (white or black inverse labels since 1999) and on CD labels.

Not lost at all, but just forgotten about in can's cluttered studio until archived by the classic German psych-rock explorers' Irmin Schmidt recently, this three-disc dump of material is unfeasibly good considering it managed to avoid the light of day until almost half a decade ago. Where to start with the 30 tracks therein? Some might be familiar, including live versions of 'Spoon' and 'Mushroom' and the teasingly-titled 'on the way to mother sky', a less focused, more freaked-out version of one of their greatest songs. Then there is a plethora of new and never-heard-before tracks: the hissing stammer of 'messers, scissors, fork and light'; the staggering rhythm 'n' spacerock exploration of 'midnight men'; the punishing, fuzzed-up guitar blues of 'bubble rap', and so many more besides. Not just for completists, this is an essential entry in the Canography.
