When Rough Trade reissued the Pixies' seminal full-length debut album, Surfer Rosa, on CD, they added the terrific mini-album Come on Pilgrim as a bonus. While it's nice to have these two records on one disc, the sequencing of Come on Pilgrim after Surfer Rosa is a little disconcerting, since the two albums each have distinctive sounds that clash slightly. Steve Albini's production of Surfer Rosa is metallic and spare — it's in black and white, with no shades of grey and no color. Come on Pilgrim, on the other hand, is filled with greys and colors, and while the contrast between the two is certainly interesting, it would be more enlightening if the mini-LP was placed before Surfer Rosa. Nevertheless, some fans might like having both albums on one disc, but buying them individually is a better move and, in any case, a little more cost-effective as well.

Dead Can Dance的两位成员Brendan Perry和Lisa Gerrard都是爱尔兰后裔，1980年他们在澳洲墨尔本相遇后，共同开发并分享着彼此对音乐、文学和视觉艺术的热爱，第一首作品"Fast Forward"被澳洲的一家小公司收录在一张圣诞节合辑里，算是D.C.D.初试啼声的佳作。1982年，D.C.D.前往伦敦，寻求澳洲市场外的成功机会，经过一年的摸索，终於被4AD相中签约，在隔年3月为他们出版首张同名专辑，纪录D.C.D.成军4年间的心血创作。
