Candy Flip - Keep The Faith

CANDY FLIP
Keep The Faith
1991 Gem Records

Candy Flip were a British electronic band who rode the madchester wave in the early 1990s.

Candy Flip were named after the slang term for the practice of taking ecstasy and LSD at the same time which fitted perfectly with the popular rave scene of the time. The band were formed by Danny Spencer (vocals, keyboards), Ric Peet (keyboards) and Kelvin Andrews (keyboards) in 1990. The band had a top three British hit with an electronic cover of the Beatles’ Strawberry Fields Forever in 1990.
  
In 1991, Candy Flip released their first album, Madstock . . . The Continuing Adventures of Bubble Car Fish, which combined rave beats with synth pop strongly influenced by bands such as the Pet Shop Boys and The Beloved. A further single ‘This Can Be Real’ fared well on the charts, reaching the UK Top 60.
 
The band were criticized for jumping on the Madchester bandwagon and were treated by the press as a one-hit wonder. Even so, the album received reasonable reviews when it was released.
Candy Flip split up in 1992 after the English rave and baggy scene faded into history. Peet became a producer and engineer, working with bands such as the Charlatans and Six By Seven. Spencer joined Sound 5.

The Darkside - Found Love

THE DARKSIDE
Found Love 7''
1990 Situation Two

The Darkside was originally formed by guitarist & vocalist Nick Hayden who had previously played drums for Spacemen 3. The band formed in the Spacemen’s hometown of Rugby. Hayden then asked Pete Bain (AKA Bassman), who had left Spacemen 3 just before their 1989 LP Playing With Fire, to join the band. Bain was then joined in the new outfit by his former bandmate, drummer Sterling Roswell (AKA Rosco).

The group debuted in 1990 with the E.P. ‘Highrise Love’ and a UK tour followed but shortly before a gig at Oxford’s Jericho Tavern, Hayden left the band and decided to stay in Oxford where he started a new band called Flite 118 which played many of the songs he had written for The Darkside. Hayden’s departure forced Bain to take over on vocals. The group were signed to Beggars Banquet Records offshoot Situation Two throughout their existence.

The Darkside released an LP, All That Noise. With Rosco moving to keyboards, the group recruited Craig Wagstaff, whom they had known while in Spacemen 3. The Melomania LP then followed in 1992. With the departure of guitarist Kevin Cowen following the LP’s release, Bain then assumed guitar duties for the EP Mayhem to Meditate. When Situation Two rejected the demos cut for a third LP, the band disintegrated.

Sub Sub - Southern Trees

SUB SUB
Southern Trees
1994 Robs Records

Manchester-based group which was responsible for several dancefloor hits in the early 1990's. The three met in school and later became regular patrons at the Fac 51 Hacienda. Determined to make a record that would get them on the guestlist at the famous club, they recorded their hit "Space Face" and pressed it up using money from their mothers, later signing it to Ten Records. Ten dropped them soon after and they re-signed with Rob Gretton's new label, Rob's Records. They broke the UK Top 10 in 1993 with the single "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)". A couple years later, a studio fire destroyed most of their equipment and spurred them to start afresh as Doves.

Southern Trees is single taken from ''Full Fathom Five'' album, flute sample on Jaggernath taken from My Bloody Valentine ''Soon (Andrew Weatherall Mix)''

Natural Life - Natural Life 12''

NATURAL LIFE
Natural Life 12''
1992 Hollywood Records

Natural Life were an English band of the early 1990s that are best described as a 'bohemian rock collective', their music being a combination of rock influences and dancefloor beats.
They emerged from London's Balearic dance movement and were quickly caught up in a bidding war between the major record labels. Their early gigs listed venues such as Danny Rampling’s fledgling 'Milk Bar' and 'Eat The Worm' at the Hannover Grand, where they were supported by the then unknown Ocean Colour Scene. They were the only London based band to play 'Factory Day' at 'Cities in the Park’ with The Happy Mondays, Electronic and A Certain Ratio. This almost exclusively Mancunian mini-festival was a memorial festival for the recently deceased Martin Hannett run by Factory Records.
The band were signed to an offshoot of Hollywood Records called Tr1be Records. They toured extensively with indie dance act The Farm and provided support for Seal on his UK tour.
The band's first single "Strange World" was voted 'record of the week' by BBC Radio 1. The second single "Natural Life" received the same accolade two weeks running. Although the band enjoyed a large UK following and were regulars on the festival circuit playing at both the Glastonbury and Reading festivals that year, they never managed to break into the mainstream.
