Split (Lush album)

Split is the second album by British shoegazing act Lush, released on 4AD on June 13, 1994 in the UK and a day later in the US. Two singles were released from the album: "Desire Lines" and "Hypocrite," both released on May 30, 1994. Split was reissued by 4AD on CD in July 2001.

Reception

Select gave the album a negative review of two out of five. The review described the album as "mid-paced stuff, fitting between melancholy and listlessness." "There's nothing wrong with a dose of heavyweight introspection per se. But a pretty deft touch is needed to translate it movingly to the recording studio."

Andy Kellman, writing for Allmusic, was far more positive, giving the album 4.5 stars out of five: "Split touches on most forms of emotional turbulence. A legitimizing stunner, the record prevented the band from being lost amidst the bunker of form-over-function dream pop bands. Split shattered every negative aspect of those failed acts with flying colors. A fantastic record within any realm."

Lush!

Coordinates: 55°11′53″N 6°38′06″W / 55.198°N 6.635°W / 55.198; -6.635 Lush! is a night club in Portrush, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

Located in the Kellys Golf Links Hotel, the club is the largest in the complex, which houses a number of bars. Opened in 1996, it has played host to the majority of the worlds notable electronic dance music DJs, including Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Paul van Dyk, Tiesto, Sasha, Ferry Corsten, Fat Boy Slim and Eddie Halliwell.

Opening two nights a week (Saturday mainly for clubbers from all over Ireland and Wednesday for local University of Ulster students), the venue does not use external promoters or host club nights, being a self-contained operation. The promoter, and manager of the club, Col Hamilton, is also the resident DJ. Music on resident-played nights would generally be house music, but the regular guest DJs are more likely to play trance music.

Shortly after opening, CJ Agnelli of Agnelli & Nelson immortalised the club with one of his first releases, titled "Lush", and the later remixes, "Lush Gold". The cover art of both releases featured the clubs logo, a large yellow/orange circle. An edition of Discover Records "Live As" series has also been recorded at the venue.
