Great singles by lost irish bands (1 Viewer)

[rampz]

good tune. If I recall, that 12" was either a blue sleeve or a yellow one.

50p in Virgin in 1990. A little corner cut off the sleeve.

the sleeve was yellow. i knew youd remember it. i paid top dollar, ie about 2. 49 in freebird.

 

[Flux]

Wormhole's "Little Miss" ep (anyone got mp3's of this?)

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

These are all ep's, so may not qualify, but...
The Golden Mile-Blowing Hot & Gold
The Waltons-s/t

That Waltons one used to show up a lot until recently. There were only 2 or 3 hundred pressed too,so it'll be harder andharder to find.
Golden Miles cassette album was great too

Pincher Martin - Money/Time (hi-tone)

 

[cyclotron]

The Threat - "The high cost of living" - c.1980 amazing single, like Chrome meets Killing Joke

Katmandu - "I can make the future" - genius synth-pop, in a Sparks/Bowie/Roxy mode. c.1981

 

[Anthony]

Pincher Martin - Money/Time (hi-tone)

ah yes, "I want more money than I can spend". Great line.

[Tubby Tucker]

During my teenage years I remember being quite fond of Talent by the Brilliant Trees, Saved by the Prayer Boat, Don't Lead Me Down by Revelino, Song For Someone by Engine Alley and Going To Nepal by Blink. There was also a song by Pelvis that I liked that contained the line "The suit of armour that I wore, I stole it from my father's drawer" and I liked the Decal tune that ended up as the theme music for No Disco. I was also big into the albums I Am The Greatest by A House, Casual Sex In The Cineplex by The Sultans Of Ping F.C., Let's Get Killed by David Holmes and Heartworm by Whipping Boy but none of them are forgotten are they?

 

[Tubby Tucker]

Oh and I remember liking the soundtrack that the Plague Monkeys did for the film Saltwater.

 

[niallmc]

pleasure cell - 'new age', classic

 

[RSJ]

Don't Lead Me Down by Revelino, Song For Someone by Engine Alley and Going To Nepal by Blink

I recognise all the titles but can't put a tune to any of them. Beatbox, wha?

 

[Pantone247]

Talent by the Brilliant Trees

they had a great song called 'Home' too, I had it on cass-single

did they ever even get an album out???

 

[bogmanfan]

Anyone remember the band In Motion? I had an ep by them with a track called (I think) "It takes a long while (to see you smile)". Great track. Would have come out around 1994-ish I reckon.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

In Motion's album, The Language Of Everyday Life, on Dead Elvis, 1994. Super record.

They're also on the Hope 12".

 

[niallmc]
