Notes :
One of my favourite tracks at the moment is this amazing song ''Snow White Lies'' by Scalaland, band formed by Catwalk vocalist Chris Roberts. It will be great to find 12'' vinyl version with remixes from London techno duo Plaid.
This was first single released from ''Breathing Down The Neck Of  Meaning'' album from 1995. Later that year they released another one and final single ''Call Me''.

Crystal Trip - New EP & Album




Great news for fans of early 90's indie/baggy band Crystal Trip. Before few weeks they released two new records: ''Somewhere EP'' and album ''The Crystal Trip'', both for Emotional Clive Records.

''Somewhere EP'' have 6 tracks, it's compilation of ''Elevate'' single and contains two unreleased tracks before ''Somewhere'' and ''Come Down Heavy''.

''The Crystal Trip'' album have 12 tracks and includes all tracks from mini LP ''Crystal Trip'' released in 1993, plus 4 unreleased tracks before: ''Senseless'', ''Happiness'', ''What Can I Say'' and ''Just Can't Control''.

Amazing material from one of my favourite early 90's bands, both records are available on CD and from all digital platforms: Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal etc.

They also released two new videos for ''Somewhere'' and ''Senseless'', there are two video versions for both songs.



Crystal Trip were a four-piece formed in 1990 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, consisting of Colin Williams vocals and guitar, Emma Walker keyboards, Mike Groves bass and Toby Limbrick drums. Often to be seen showing off their guitar and keyboard driven indie pop around there and Bedford, they nicely bridged the gap between the Smiths, New Order, the Stone Roses and Britpop in the London venues ultimately “clocking in”, according to the NME, “somewhere between Hüsker Dü and Radiohead”. Managed by indie “face” and impresario Paul Dennis the band were also influenced by the emerging club scene being one of the first bands to release club orientated remixes of indie jangle receiving favourable reviews from Mick Mercer, Steve Lamacq and Simon Williams in the music press. They released 2 videos back then one starring Keith Allen and another on Seagull Records directed by Andy Pulver.
