The progression of this band from when this was recorded in 1984 to Laughing Stock in 1991 is simply astounding and well worth investigation. Spirit of Eden from 1988 is an absolute work of genius.
Spirit of Eden is a phenomenal record. Hollis seems an interesting character. The Quietus did an interesting feature on Laughing Stock recently actually
Tried to bankrupt his record label with Laughing Stock, over 100 musicians used over a year long recording, 90% of which was discarded. A Kevin Shields job.
