SPIREA X
Speed Reaction EP
1991 4AD
Spirea X was a short-lived dream pop/noise pop act on the 4AD label, spearheaded by ex-Primal Scream member Jim Beattie. The other members of the group were Judith Boyle and Andrew Kerr. In 1991, the group released the Chlorine Dream and Speed Reaction singles, along with the full-length Fireblade Skies. Combining sweet vocal melodies with alternately noisy and blurry bursts of guitars and dance beats, the record was definitely up on the then-current sound of the U.K., but it failed to make much of an impression with consumers and cynical tastemakers. Spirea X vanished without a trace, but Beattie and Boyle along with former Spirea X manager Simon Dine would later form Adventures In Stereo.

Chlorine Dream was a great debut. I saw them play Glasgow in '91. Wasn't that keen on the LP. There's a demo of chlorine dream on youtube.
Stuart.
Interesting info about Adventures in Stereo. I would never have guessed. Thanks!
i thought they were great - much preferred to primal scream
