the june brides - there are eight millions stories...mini lp 1985

ah... one of the earlier british group that could've made it big had it been properly produced. fronted by phil wilson who also had a solo carreer under creation records. alan mcgee of creation records once said that p. wilson is one of the better songwriters that actually likes music rather than appearing on a zine. and it's sad when music is viewed as a business venture rather than a talent said b. gillespie. even the moz thinks that the june brides were the best group of 1985. nme poll.
i've ripped a couple of songs from the record for you to enjoy and thanx to goth_boy for making it all possible.

purple ivy shadows - ep 1992

a quartet from new york originally from virginia these lads shows a great display of how shoegaze were meant to sound like. although their later releases does not compare to this one(which btw also released as 12" record as icicles and echoes) i still give them an a+. this is a great 7" which reminds me so much of slowdive's "just for a day" album.

random single of the month

taken from the album 'sex and travel', big saturday a song yet to be discovered! with david j still in the line up. it's a very jangly new wave lullaby that every collector should have. this and the hungarian love song are my only fave from the band. so good, i just have to share...

the jazz butcher - big saturday

supreme love gods - righteous 12" 1991

after releasing three singles from three different labels this being the first(on one little indian), slg gained more followers in the uk than their native us of a. it only make sense that their music sound very british, heavily influenced by the happy mondays. their music similarity after listening to this record is unmistakable.
you can find more of slg at madchester rave on!

catchers - cotton dress 7" 1994

"cotton dress" was the first record by catchers, an indie band from northern ireland. fronted by dale grundel the band had 2 albums in existence. they toured with fellow label mates edwyn collins and the divine comedy and get this... toured in ireland with oasis. dale is now with his new band "the sleeping years" which i'm curiuos to hear. cotton dress is a nice indiepop tune, check it out.

boyracer - naked no fuel new zealand song 7" 1992

a beautiful shoegaze cut from boyracer, lots of guitar feedbacks and distortions with vocals and drums all mixed at the same volume level. it's what set the marychain and mvb apart from the rest! a great indie act from yokshire which i'd totally ignored back in the day(too much charlatans and blur and stone roses). this record was released under "a turntable friend" which has a pretty good reputation in my book.

spoonfed hybrid lp 1993

more from nwc, this time it's the 1st release from ian masters' post pale saints project. i've taken 4 songs from the lp which i think more of a consolation. the whole lp is very down-tempo and spacey with similarity to spacemen 3 or spiritualized you really have to be a fan to dig it.

les enfants terribles - another country lp 1990

here's a band i know very little about until i was introduced to by goth_boy. the record was given as a courtesy and i say i am a very satisfied recipient. their music is very eclectic, it's like listening to little nemo and at the same time hearing mark burgess' (the chameleons, the sun and the moon) nostalgic voice blended with the cure-like guitar riffs. so you see it's win win situation. their records are very hard to get but it's worth every penny. i've ripped six songs from the album, "in a room like yours" is an awesome song and they could've easily produced a couple of 12"s from this lp.

cheers.
