Boxerbears Vol8 ( Minelli Mix)

Well here it is volume 8 in the Like it Love it hate it Boxerbears compilation series. I hope those who are downloading them are enjoying them the last one has currentely had 27 downloads which is nice to think that people are bothering! Anyway to the music.........

1) Curve - Fait Acompli (Biggest "hit" for the band fronted by the gorgeous Toni Haliday. Released in 1992 and best listened to in a darkened room at a loud volume. From the Doppelgagger album)
2) Neds Atomic Dustbin - Less Than Useful (They appear for the second time. This is an album track from God Fodder, Neds had two bass players and with songs like this you wonder why everyone doesn't. I might go and buy the DVD from play thinking about it now.)
3) Eat - Bellytown (Found out this week that the band Doolittle have released an album and supported CUD in London last week. Cant work out whether its just Ange the singer in the band or anyone else but it maybe on my purchase list! Anyway B-side to the Golden Egg single and what a B-Side indeed)
4) My Bloody Valentine - Soft as Snow (from the album isn't anything, the sounds MBV make on this song are amazing and its a bizarre lead off track to an album but makes you want to hear more. Cant wait to see what the new material is like)
5) The Shamen - LSI (I like the Shamen although many indie kids didnt. Saw them 3 time most noticeable at Sound City 92 supported by a fledgling Prodigy. This was from the Boss Drum album released in 93(?) and spawned "that" hit single.)
6) Bang Bang Machine - Geek Love (Topped Peel's festive fifty in 1992 and is their second best song after Breathless. I have the album on lovely vinyl and its really quite good and will soon be converting it into this new modern format so expect so other tracks! Fact - They are the only band from Worcestershire I can think of!)
7) Emperor's of Ice Cream - Purile ( Saw EOIC supporting the Sultans back in the day and was heartily impressed by their tunefulness! Bought the William EP, that this is from in 93 and it contains some good tunes. Like the Sultans from Cork in Ireland the only other single I have by them is Skin Tight.)
8) Senseless Things - Primary Instinct ( The great music that has come out of the nucleus of this band is amazing. Delakota/3 Colours Red/Morgan/Streets/Jolt/Wildhearts the list goes on. This was a Top40 single from the Empire of the Senseless Album which had amazingly lame artwork for the usually brilliant covers they had.)
9) Throwing Muses - Not too Soon (From their best album The Real Ramona, this track from 1991 is a brilliant piece of pop from Tanya Donelly and Kristen Hersh. If you dont have the album buy it....Now...Im waiting...Go on....)
10) Audioweb - Policeman Skank (A band that I seemed to see god know how many times over a 2/3 year period at festivals and as support band and headliner. fronted by the amazing Martin Merchant this was a top 30 single for the Manchester band in 98. I believe I have everything they have ever released in one format or another. Still have a dedicated fan base despite splitting nearly 10 years ago. All members still musicians involved with Manchester music)
11) Billy Bragg - Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards (I have a huge soft spot for Mr Bragg and think some of his songs are immense and Workers Playtime is one of my fav albums, this track is from that. Can produce brilliant powerful lyrics about love and the world. This was released in 88)
12) Happy Mondays - Gods Cop Live (A track from their legendary Glasto headlining show in 1990 captures what they are all about live in their prime. Website says they are working on a new album which is good news as music needs SWR)
13) Double Trouble and the Rebel MC - Street Tuff (Love this single neither act did anything as good without the other which is a shame. Will have you singing along like a loon. What hip hop should be all about. released in 1990)
14) The Mission - Tower of Strength (The Mission and the Cure were as close to Goth as I liked but both acts were excellent at pulling off dark sweeping epic tracks. Have been buying some of the old albums on Cd and there is some great stuff to be had. No comprehensive best of has ever been released which is a shame so its a DIY Mission best of on the way!)
15) Christopher Cross - Theme from Arthur ( Love the film love the song pure indulgent sentimentality, its hard not to like this song)
