Limited edition box set contains the albums In the Aeroplane Over the Sea LP and On Avery Island 2-LP, a 12" picture disc pressing of Live at Jittery Joe,s, two 10" vinyl EPs, three 7" vinyl singles, and two folded posters plus other inserts. The two full-length records that Jeff Mangum made as Neutral Milk Hotel sound both in and out of time. Like translations of a shared subconscious, 1996,s On Avery Island and 1998,s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea give voice to the perennial spirit of youthful epiphany, of beginning to see the world clearly, to process and express it- no matter when you encounter them. With lo-fi indie rock, accordion, singing saw, tape collages, the so-called "zanzithophone" and beyond, Neutral Milk Hotel created an eternal entry into their Elephant 6 scene and an enduring feeling of possibility.
