but that's besides the point, of course. "wide open space" was played in the pub tonight, and i enjoyed it plenty.

Mansun.

They had some great pop songs, but they worked really well as a whole on the album too.

"Wide Open Space" is a completely great track.

although i remember my brother buying a load of six by seven albums and i found them all dreary.

I always sorta think of them as a pop(ish) Mogwai. This is very much a compliment.

sixteen years pass...

Inexplicably revisited both bands recently. Neither have aged especially well.

I actually saw both bands perform live ... and have relatively no memory of either occasion.

Kula Shaker, I'm still ashamed to admit, gave me that post-baggy neo-psychedlic summer fun whizz bang fizz feeling, plus, well, that irrational hormonal "oh my god, I want to dangle myself in your proto-aryan gene pool" thing.
