FUCKIN A. I love them in any mode but this rec kinda gets them right bang on when they were just right for the times etc, sad thinking about how out of them they are now cos of what it says about current times and YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES to "Archway People".

So this seems as good a thread as any to ask...
a *long* time ago, probably about the early to mid-90s, i was full on into Saint Etienne and also into the house/rave scene. i was at my local DJ shop and found a "white label" that actually had a printed up label, but looked a bit like a bootleg of sorts, and it was credited to Saint Etienne. The track is called "Deep in the Coast of the Exstasy" or something along those lines
i'm at work and haven't looked at the record for a while, but i've never seen anything even mentioning it w/r/t St Etienne in any of their discogs, etc. It's actually a really great deep house track, very italo pianos, balaeric vibe, etc. It reminds me of something Creation would have put out around the time (Like "Nena de Ibiza", etc)
Anyone ever see this or know what I'm taking about? No googling has seemed to help me out at all.

Couldn't get enough of 'Filthy' at the time. That bass! But as far as odds/ends collections, "Continental" still far and away holds the crown.

Found an old CD I'd made at least a decade ago and had an idea that I might put it on Spotify. Seem to be lots of gaps on there though. For some reason it as called "Lovely is the New Edge" but quite why is blurry. I'm not sure there is much rhyme or reason but I always loved "You Need A Mess of Help".

And if the 1:19 is instrumental with some la-la vocals from Sarah it's probably Half-Timbered from Places to Visit

Oh, good calls on both of those.

Has there been much in an "amazing b-side" sort of way since ... whatever is the latest thing on that comp above?
