At Tower Records in Philly near where I used to live at the time I was looking through their cassettes for something to buy(vinyl had dissapeared by then) and came across this one. Never having heard of the band I must admit I bought it because of the obviously English girl on the cover. They are a London band consisting of Bob Stanley and Pete Wigs with Sarah Cracknell on vocals. After putting it in the tape player and listening to it I immediatly fell in love with it. Side one has six great Dance\/Techno songs including a cover of &#8220;Only Love Can Break Your Heart&#8221;.&#8221;Carnt Sleep&#8221;, &#8220;She&#8217;s The One&#8221; and &#8220;Spring&#8221; are great songs. &#8220;Wilson&#8221; is a collage of samples and found sounds with an English woman repeating &#8220;Would You Like Some Sweets Willie?&#8221;. You can hear someone saying LSD in the background. My three year old son liked that one when he heard me playing it one day. I mostly played side one of the cassette,side two is quite different. Although &#8220;Nothing Can Stop Us&#8221;would fit with the songs on side one the others &#8220;Stoned To Say The Least&#8221;,&#8221;London Belongs To Me&#8221; and &#8220;Like The Swallow&#8221; are more trippy,mostly instrumental,and also very good. After selling all my cassettes in 2013 I waited until 2021 when a 30th anniversary edition was released on green vinyl. I had two other releases on cassette and five CD&#8217;s(which I still have) of theirs. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4741"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4741\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4743,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4741\/revisions\/4743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
