Not too much post-band activity, huh? Sing Sing was nothing special, and Miki guested on a few tracks here and there. Guess real life took over...

the first sing-sing album is great, 'tegan' and 'i can see you' as good as anything lush released imo. they did go a bit less interesting but were never crap.

Lush would be the winner of the "when the shoegazers stopped gazing" poll.

Always an appropriate soundtrack to winter weather.

Not sure why I wasn't vociferously defending Spooky on here first time around.

I was listening to "Undertow (Spooky Remix)" last night and I wasn't too into it, but after going back and listening to the original it made me think that Studio could have done an amazing remix of the same track.
I would love to hear a version of their cover of Love At First Sight in this form.

Oh I would love a whole album of remixes, I must listen to the "Undertow" one practically every day! Who originally did "Love At First Sight"?

I'd be totally OK if Lush decided to play all of Topolino on the reunion tour. B-side Britpop Lush is just proof-positive that they wrote better songs and covered better songs than all those other blowhards.

Jesus. I still have dreams about the room I was in that year (I had this and Scar then and Sweetness & Light on Shiiiine compilation predecessor Happy Daze). I need to get a new dream writer, he's way out of touch.

Spooky is the one for me, gossamer Guthrie production and all

I once interviewed Emma Anderson and she hated Spooky, said they felt like lab animals during the recording because Guthrie wanted everything quantised and time locked to reverbs etc. I remember being so disappointed after Black Spring that they made this anaemic, stiff sounding record.

Emma ranks Spooky as her favourite these days. https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/rank-your-records-lush-emma-anderson

Hate the process, love the result, maybe. The interview I did was in '94 so the bad experiences were presumably more vivid.

Split > Spooky > Lovelife
