Bettie Serveert is an excellent band. For some reason I only have "Lamprey" on CD. I need to add a few more now that I think about it
I stop buying new lps around the early 1990s, so all my B.S. albums are on cd: Palomine, Lamprey, Log 22, Dust Bunnies, and the rare Kids' Allright ep single. I want to get their new Pharmacy of Love, heard some samples and really like it.
The CDs sound better with each successive re-issue. The original Chrysalis CD was a straight copy of the LP. Sounds like they cut the CD using an EQ'd cassette master (Hardly surprising. The early Chrysalis CDs sounded like cr@p).That was followed by a re-issue that included a KMET radio broadcast as bonus material. The sound went from muddy to brittle. The Disc was worth getting for the KMET broadcast.The current CD has dropped the KMET broadcast, and added two BBC sessions. Sound quality a massive improvement. Simply, it sounds like it should. The BBC sessions are better performances than the KMET broadcast, and include a song or two that haven't shown up on any album. Highly recommended.@ Arthur: Reckoning is my favorite catalog release. I've turned a dozen people on to the Dead with that record.Currently listening to: Journey - Next
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Never heard the category shoegazing before.Here's something else from that time period: The Juliana Hatfield Three - Become What You Are (1993).samples: http://www.amazon.com/Become-What-You-Juliana-Hatfield/dp/B000004AT5/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1283487783&sr=1-10
