There is a long list of early '90s albums that were unjustly overlooked in the wake of the era’s grunge explosion.When it comes to alternative rock, Dada’s 1992 album Puzzle belongs near the very top of that list.Psychedelia and sunny Southern California sounds are undercut by healthy scepticism - particularly on Dizz Knee Land - giving Puzzle the enigmatic quality suggested by its title, an impression reinforced by its Rorschach-inspired cover artwork.Power pop and even touches of funk add to the appeal of this noir-tinged album, making it as difficult to categorise as it is to resist.Now, with the full support of the band, Puzzle receives its first widespread American vinyl release in spectacular fashion.This expanded double LP has been remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision and features an entire side of bonus tracks.Pressed on green and yellow "troll hair" vinyl to match the little character on the front cover and housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed lyrics, this is the definitive edition of a cult alternative rock classic.
