Chlorine Dreams


Spirea X - Fireblade Skies
Ripped from a compact disc album released on 4AD Records (CAD 1017 CD) in 1991 to high quality lossless flac audio. Cue the re-post from a few years back of the Spirea X album. I'll hold back an the knocking of Bobby Gillespie this time as my feelings on said chap's talent are well documented elsewhere.

It is difficult to write about Spirea X without being cruel to the skinny streak of talentless pish that is Bobby Gillespie, so I will try to hold back. Spirea X were miles better than anything Bobby and his chums did without help from Oakenfold, however they did position themselves halfway between The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays with a hint of Spacemen Three, but about two years after both the formers had peaked. The two vinyl singles are posted with huge thanks to a blog follower who recently donated a delightful  crateful of goodies to these pages. Fireside Skies is a great album full of psychae-shoegaze delights which most should enjoy.
