Spirea X - Speed Reaction EP

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.

WANTED: Shine! - Shine!

 

 

SHINE!

Shine!

2015 Cloudberry Records

Notes :

Retrospective album that includes all of the 21 original songs that Shine! recorded including their fantastic debut flexi "Millions and Millions" as well as the songs ("Bite the Apple" & "It Could Never Happen to Us") that appeared on the split 12" that they shared with The Bardots in 1989. Aside from these two releases Shine! put out two tape albums, "Shine!" and "Numbrainedeadumbrain", that are very rare. All of the songs (aside from two cover versions) are included in this CD. Fast guitars, and exciting melodies that brings up to mind the earlier Wedding Present and This Poison!, Shine! should have been huge!

Bocca Juniors - Raise

 

 

BOCCA JUNIORS

Raise 

1990 Boy's Own Productions

 

Notes :

Bocca Juniors was a short-lived project formed between the four DJ/producers (Andrew Weatherall, Terry Farley, Pete Heller, and Hugo Nicolson) at the heart of the Boy's Own Recordings label. They only released two singles: 1990's "Raise (63 Steps To Heaven)" and 1991's "Substance". Both featured lead vocals from Anna Haigh and were, in the words of the group, intended to be "balearic anthems". (The name "Bocca Juniors" is likely derived from the hugely popular and successful Argentine football team Boca Juniors, and possibly also from the word "bocca", which means "mouth" in Italian.)
