Delta - Gun 7"


Neo-Psychedelic, heavily influenced by the sixties is what this band is about. Sorry no info about this group whatsover, the last time I googled Delta the electronic German band came out on the search result. Released by Dishy record in 1994, most likely this is just a low budget, mom-and-pop label from Bristol. The vocal is rather eclectic because of the effect of some sort while the guitar is transcendental. If you love sixties guitar riffs like Oasis or Spitfire then this record is definitely for you!

Psychic TV - Godstar (Hyperdelic Mix) 12"


Well what can I say about the band, they were weird but very interesting. I've been seeing some Psychic TV records during my record hunting days but never got to buy any of them except for this particular one. The song is somewhat a fusion of psychedelic sixties and danceable eighties.

Scorpio Rising - Watermelon EP


Chapter 22, one of the indie labels responsible in the evolution of indie scene during the late eighties and early nineties. They've provided notable bands during that era that were just too impossible to ignore like Mighty Mighty, Pastels, Pop Will Eat Itself, Ned's Atomic Dustbin and Scorpio Rising. Their songs can be summarized as music with funky bass lines, baggy drumbeats, and psychedelic guitars with heavy use of wah-wah pedals. Its basically reviving the sixties rock (you could also tell by the way they dressed) but with the modern edge!

The Dukes Of Stratosphear - You're A Good Man Albert Brown EP


The Dukes Of Stratosphear were actually XTC in disguise! In my theory, they've created songs that were inappropriate to be included in any XTCs album and an alter ego was formed. Listening to this EP is like listening to the Magical Mystery Tour album by the Beatles, very psychedelic, very sixties, very hippy! Vanishing Girl, the stand-out song, is 3 minutes of complete bliss. They were truly indeed the bohemians of modern music.

Spitfire EPs



Again, not much info about the band, where they from and how they started. But lets skip to that not so interesting stuff and talk about their music instead. I discovered their music from this phenomenal compilation Indie Top 20 (a must have compilation for all indie aficionados) which contains bands such as Midway Still, Telescopes, The Stone Roses, Revolver and etc. I would describe their sound as pure energy solid rock n' roll! Their songs contained all the right doses I need to keep me high while listening, classic wah-wah guitars, high-octane drums and vocals with the right attitude! What more could you ask for?
