Rainer Maria
Anyone in Love With You (Already Knows) (Polyvinyl)
by Tim Den
The title is a clever giveaway: This here’s a live DVD/CD, perfect to sing along to for all them Rainer Maria fans who can’t wait for the band’s next time in town. Included is material from every stage of their career (sans the demo/7″ days), including the blissful “Artificial Light,” the awkward “Long Knives,” the tranquil “Rise,” and many more.
Since Long Knives Drawn wasn’t exactly a runaway hit for Rainer Maria, it’s anybody’s guess if this thing’s gonna sell. Hopefully, Anyone in Love With You (Already Knows) will be the conclusion of a chapter, rather than the end of the story for these guys.
