I remember this and loved "Fripp" so voting for it here.

Love the guitar sounds on this album so much.

Probably between “Pain”, “The Nude” and “Fripp” for me.

Surprised Kill Rhythm got no votes. It was my second choice.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 19 June 2018 00:21 (five years ago) link

It was my second choice, too. Maybe that was the problem - just second choices.

How dare you. *creaks, dies*

Saw them play the Roxy in an early date for this album's tour cycle, with Slowdive opening, Souvlaki having just been released in the UK. So yes I have fond memories of that show, I do.

Taken many drugs, popped so many pills
Gasp at my adventures, marvel at my thrills

I have a story regarding Catherine Wheel and I think it was this tour.

My friends and I went to Tower Records Anaheim to buy concert tickets. It took forever to get help, it wasn't time of sale or anything just a regular night. Anyways, we finally get help to buy tickets and the employee just didn't want to be there. He kept saying things like Catherine must be special and sexist things. He hands us the tickets but didn't collect. I'm usually on the honest side of things but thought fuck this asshole, saw Catherine Wheel for free.

1993 was pretty solid iirc

Blasted it in the car a couple of months ago and it still slays.

Funny reading this comment of mine from five years ago. Why, you might ask? Because I blasted it in the car a couple of months ago (for the first time in about five years) and guess what? It's still an awesome album and one of the best of the 90's!

This revive inspired me to put together a comp of their A-sides. 16 tracks, just under 70 minutes, a great ride - why the hell haven't they done this themselves?
