Adored them from about 1997 until about 2004. Much preferred the shambolic DIY charm of those early recordings. As soon as they got Trevor Horn in to produce a record I didn't feel like band a band for me any more. I'll be forever thankful to them for turning my head from turgid post-Britpop shite to a much more enlightening sound though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear Trevor Horn in tracks like Stay Loose, the vocal reverb is classic Buggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace of wands. Brilliant and creepy. The Brian Wilde ep still chills me. This was a kids show. No wonder i have vertigo. Captain Scarlett. Million times better than T-birds.

The difficulty is getting it out of your thoughts you're actually standing on a late 1960's TV series location, you start imagining who walked where and how rover appeared out of nowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Valentine Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Ffs! If Mrs V gets wind of the Belle & Sebastian love in on here she might sign up and I don’t need her opinions on here too as well as across the dining table. Last time she played B&S I launched the gramophone out of the window. All subjective of course. It’ll be the fucking Go Team next.

The perfect antedate to the rewarding talent-less shites that Britpop was. I was torn with Dear Catastrophe Waitress. Half of it is brilliant. And half of it is absolute bollocks. Stay Loose though. That's a gem. Was anyone at the Manchester Town Hall gig in Christmas 1997? It was ridiculously bad yet utterly charming at the same time.

L1onheartNew Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Actually just played some Belle and Sebastian on Spotify just to see if I remembered them. I do. As instantly forgettable now as they were then. I will probably revisit them in another 20 years. I knew that i had heard Angus and Julia Stone before.
