In Spring 2010, Sonic Youth gathered at their Echo Canyon West studio in Hoboken, New Jersey, to watch the rushes of a new film, SIMON WERNER A DISPARU, by French director Fabrice Gobert. They spent the following few weeks recording music which was then shaped as needed to fit the various scenes. For this release, rather than present the small clips of music as used in the film, the band went back in the autumn to the original tapes and reorganized the various pieces for this original soundtrack release, sometimes montaging multiple tracks together, other times extending cues into new sonic realms. The film premiered at Cannes in May 2010 and opened nationwide in France. Review: MORE THAN A SOUNDTRACK - Probably is the last session of Sonic Youth, Part of this music was used for a french film "Simon Werner a Disparu" but after recorders the track for the film they coming again to studio to makes some arranged , the final result is this splendid CD. You can find beautiful sounds very intimate and interest. This is the final code to great band. Forget the film and only hear this incredible sound. After many years together they make this CD to make a resume of his glorious career. Review: state of the art - once again sonic youth demonstrate that they will never compromise their vision as a band. the sound on this album is so strong you forget that it is a soundtrack for a movie.sonic youth are one of the great bands of rock and roll for all time and are the best post rock band in the world. if you like sonic youth you will enjoy this album.

Sonic Youth Being Sonic Youth
If this ends up being Sonic Youth's last record, I think it's appropriate, positive note to go out on. The music on Simon Werner a Disparu is ranges from pastoral to somewhat menacing, but it is never intrusive. It's not particularly demanding or challenging (at least to a Sonic Youth fan), but avoids being boring and never stays in one place for very long. Imagine a quiet, uneventful rural New England car ride. You stare out the window, watching the trees and telephone wires and pine needles go by, occasionally passing through a small town and looking at old houses and small locally owned convenience stores. Nothing is exciting, but you're not bored with it all. You passively take it all in and remain content. It's almost hypnotic after a while. Sonic Youth has gone down this path before. The underrated Murray Street album is what comes to my mind first, especially the extended jam on "Karen Revisited". It also reminds me of The Destroyed Room odds-and-ends compilation. I'm thinking that it might be the Jim O'rourke influence, although he only appears once in this recording, playing bass on the last track. This is the first time that it has truly dominated an album's entire running time, with the songs all tied together, uninterrupted and unbroken. It's like a successful extended jam session that leaves everyone happy and tired. Also, keep an ear out for the lovely minimalist piano in some of the tracks, which makes some moments especially delicate and pastoral.

Sonic Youth as they have always been
For decades, Sonic Youth has been everyone's influence. The genre people call "post rock" couldn't exist without them, as they single handedly bridge progressive rock, noise, punk, thrash, and basic rock and roll. However, they have always been a band whose music has had a message, and they have been involved in the world around them politically as much as aesthetically. This soundtrack is just that: an instrumental record that captures Sonic Youth's core sound and casts atmospheres of anxiety, travel, and crisis without being itself narrative. Although the film the music accompanies may have a hard time penetrating the U.S. and U.K. markets, this soundtrack is fantastic.

Can lives.
Long jams edited down to the good bits. Not bad but Can did it better. At least in the early 70's.

5 stars for a reason
I haven't rated this 5 stars lightheartedly. is this album a cornerstone in their history like Sister or Daydream Nation, a culmination of their sound as Washing Machine, a polished piece of perfection like Dirty? no. but it is pure, it is an emotional trip, it gives me goosebumps, it is unchallanged compared to other bands' music and simply equals 5 stars judged on it's own. it's better than their last album (Eternal, alongside Murray Street the ONLY regular SY album that's a litle discgrace to their standards delivered on regulars like the late NYC Ghosts and Flowers, Thousand Leaves and all others) and will never turn boring, just like the other fantastic instrumental SY soundtrack to the 1986 movie Made In Usa which accompanies me for 2 decades and still sounds fresh. yes, all these superlatives are neccessary in a review of a Sonic Youth album (except the above 2 mentioned).

Kind of cheeky ,make me an expression
I listen to it like i always have an somthing other to fall back on.A very musica peak for the sonics,but nevertheless a stunning record that catches the right noise they have.

Dreamy avant garde music which is great for blocking the world out when you need to work or focus on a task.No voices to be heard on this album.

Il disco era un regalo, per cui io non conosco bene il prodotto musicale di per sé ma sono felice del mio acquisto. E' arrivato in tempo per Natale e perfettamente integro. Molto soddisfatta

Sonic Youth nutzten ihr eigenes Label für Nebenveröffentlichungen, die etwas experimenteller als die regulären Alben waren. Gerade die letzten Sonic Youth Alben wie Rather Ripped waren schon fast poppig. Als Ausgleich hierfür gab es die SYR-Reihe. Der hier vorliegende Soundtrack funktioniert sehr gut, hat mit dem Theme D'Alice sogar einen richtigen "Hit" und ist auch nicht mehr ganz so auf Kunst/Experiment getrimmt wie beispielsweise SYR2 oder SYR3. Für Sonic Youth Fans ohnehin eine klar Empfehlung.

まずはみなさん間違いなく共感の「ヤバすぎるジャケット」。 アナログジャケットですと、さらに気持ちいいです。飾っておきたくなる度120%。 (ただし、裏面のギャップに涙・・・) アナログには、例の「MP3ダウンロード」コードチケットが封入されていました。 とにかく、繊細に丁寧に創られた、ソニック・ユースなインスト集です。 個人的には、ラス前の「Au Caf'」と、13分に及ぶラストチューン「アリスのテーマ」が最高(「アリスのテーマ」はバラ売りナシ。アルバム単位でのデータ購入と、CDアルバムと、アナログ封入カードでアクセスのオマケMP3データにのみ収録。13分の長い曲なので当然アナログには未収録。注意です。)

Qui aurait imaginé au moment de sa sortie que ce modeste disque, neuvième volume de la série Perspectives Musicales éditée sur le propre label du groupe, pourrait être le dernier, le testament, le clap de fin ? En effet, depuis l'annonce de la séparation du couple rock le plus célèbre de tous les temps, ou presque, je parle de Kim Gordon et Thurston Moore, mariés depuis 30 ans et dont la relation a officiellement pris fin en novembre de l'année dernière, le futur du groupe le plus important de tous les temps, ou presque, est plus qu'incertain. Il ne serait pas étonnant à lire entre les lignes des réponses de Lee Ranaldo que le hiatus actuel se prolonge et que la discographie à venir de l'entité Sonic Youth se réduise à l'exhumation d'enregistrements d'archive, l'édition de coffrets de luxe et autres trucs marketing du genre que j'achèterai quand même, en fan transi . Tragique, mais toutes les bonnes choses ont une fin et ce qui était chaos et poussière redeviendra chaos et poussière. SYR9 est donc la bande originale du film Simon Werner a disparu... , que je n'ai pas vu. Comme on peut s'y attendre, il s'agit d'un album instrumental que le groupe nous délivre depuis sa zone de confort, sans se mettre particulièrement en danger. La plus grande nouveauté réside dans la présence de piano, qui apporte une touche d'originalité au son bien rodé du quatuor et s'intègre remarquablement bien aux compositions. Contemplatifs ou plus énervés, les morceaux ressemblent plus à des bribes d'idées éparpillées qu'à des compositions bien réfléchies, ce qui donne un côté un peu désordonné à l'ensemble. Pour qui aime le son récent de Sonic Youth l'écoute de ce disque ne manque pas de petits plaisirs disséminés ici et là, plus particulièrement 'Chez Yves', dans le 'Thème de Laetitia', dans les escapades inquiétantes ou dans les bois avec M. rabier. Les guitares adoptent un son clair cristallin pour faire de la pub aux nouvelles Fender Jazzmaster et Steve Shelley est égal à lui même derrière ses fûts au son excellent. Le thème d'Alice pour finir est une longue plage où Jim O'Rourke leur ancien collaborateur vient tenir la basse. C'est à la fois assez chouette, totalement conforme aux attentes des connaisseurs et finalement assez vain. On peut voir au ton un peu désabusé de cette chronique que ce disque, tout à fait honorable mais aucunement génial, ne me procure guère de grands frissons. Pas honteux, parfois même assez intéressant, il est peut-être quand même le plus faible de toute la discographie du groupe, complètement inoffensif et dispensable, et fait pale figure à côté d'un SYR8 abrasif et fou furieux.
