Things on the box set front (yeah, such a thing exists) just keep getting better and better. The Pixies’ Minotaur was announced a few months back, but this morning images and video of the set are available for ogling on at the ArtistsInResidence site. Follow that link and you’ll also be in position to pre-order yours starting tomorrow. A refresher straight from the minotaur’s mouth: “Includes all five Pixies’ studio albums (Come on Pilgrim, Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Bossanova, and Trompe le Monde) in the following formats: 24k gold plated CD’s; five 12″ – 180 gram virgin vinyl LP’s cut from the original analog tapes; Blu-ray audio mastered for 5.1 surround sound and 2 channel stereo at 24/192; DVD mastered for 5.1 surround sound and 2 channel stereo at 24/96. Also included is the previously unreleased Pixies 1991 live performance from Brixton, on both Blu-ray and DVD, mastered for 5.1 surround sound at 24/192 and 24/96, respectively. All discs are housed in a custom designed folio.
