Various - The 2 Tone Story1989 compilation VG+ VG+

And I knew immediately that it would work with my new melody

the talismanic ‘Moonshine Freeze’ - leading to Kate’s Ivor Novello nomination but when it came to Stables’ natural impulse to start the next record

which goes beyond merely skewering a world of craven mediocrity to suggest better possibilities

This is also the first album in which Steve Tucker contributed lyrics and music to the band

its eight songs follow a switchback path between foggy incantations and mountain anthems

the group's only compilation to span their entire career

Taking us through it

Quietly catchy & surprisingly confrontational

in these times of disquietude

Though some of these songs would materialize on solo albums soon after

a collection of shimmering

ambient and experimental music
