Catherine Wheel - Chrome

A tiny notch below Ferment in my opinion, but a great album - harder hitting than the previous, likely due to Gil Norton's production (he's no Tim Friese-Green).

This got lumped in with 'shoegaze'. It was a blanket term for distorted-guitars-plus-slightly-buried-vocal-melody, but also just a way to slag off things they decided they didn't like. Dickinson doesn't care; he restores Porsches.

Whatever. Great. Finally re-released.

- – (1992). With a sound combining shoegaze haziness and harder rock drive, CW ran a middle track between shoegaze and the Britpop that would soon take over. Rob Dickinson and Brian Futter couldn’t conceal a basic pop sensibility on tracks like “Texture,” “I Want to Touch You” and the glistening hit “Black Metallic.” The group’s dark romantic gloom still feels hypnotic played loud at dusk.

Catherine Wheel - Ferment: seems like a pretty good way to start the day.
