"major tom tries to pull himself off in space, blood pressure too low, cries, stares at nebula, naps" - the album

this reminds me a bit of Emergency & I in that its entire schtick rubs me the wrong way, but it's undeniably well-realised in a way that wins the day

They do what they do, they stick to it and do it well.



Again it’s one of those that at the time it came out it was so different, so refreshing and the tunes have carried it a long, long way.

This came out at approx the same time as Zaireeka (which I imagine literally no one heard on release lol) and the Soft Bulletin/Deserters Songs, no?

Yeah soft bulletin and deserters songs came later.

The fuck is Zaireeka?

Zaireeka was the zany experimental anything-goes album that birthed the Soft Bulletin aesthetic lol, was released as four discs that have to be heard simultaneously but if you can find a decent mix there are some treasures on there

That feeling there is at this very moment today of excitement, anticipation and a belief that things would be alright.



It was like that every single day soundtracked by Ocean Colour Scene.
