The band that put the gorgeous in Goth. Astoundingly beautiful in places, this album awakened a hitherto uncaring world to the pleasures housed by the 4AD label. Featuring members of the Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Colourbox and Modern English performing songs by some truly great songwriters including the then unfashionable Alex Chilton, Roy Harper 
Absolutely sublime recreation of late eighties indie pop. Peter Hook’s patented basslines, the Cocteau Twins gorgeous sheen, Johnny Marr’s cascading guitars, the Chameleon’s romantic melancholy, Felt’s sublime majesty. I’m transported back to the Panic Station, Dingwall’s monday nights…this is ecstatically brilliant and big thanks to Paul Ilechko for the tip!
