So, in the long run, "Brighter" wins.

I'm listening the the Railway Children's -Radio One Sessions- and echo the above statement. Such calming, reassuring jangle pop... just what I needed today after a month of 4 hours of sleep per night. The third baby's a killer!

Taking in Reunion Wilderness for the first time in ages and, holy hell, could these boys write a redemptive hook.

I guess the Madchester thing wiped them out; did they ever go baggy?

the railway children most certainly did.saw them at reading 90 in cycling gear with that shuffling baggy beat.one single was released with a lot of remixes, used to have it on cd.

The only other album of theirs I've heard was Native Place and it was just so bland.
Never heard that second album.

I liked Every Beat of the Heart at the time. Never heard any of their other stuff. Might give their first album a listen.
Not that keen on Mighty Lemon Drops but I don't know much of their stuff either other than their track on C86.

Music Stop had baggy-ish Steve Proctor mixes, I believe. I still like Native Place though. I'd pick Railway Children over MLD, but I still like them both.

the lemmoes did a baggy version of the Stones' We Love You.

This one too. Doesn't really work for them tbh. They were best as a Echo & the Bunnymen homage.

Easy to identify the vocals of Paul Marsh in a crowd; easy on the ears, 'tis.

I liked the Mighty Lemon Drops first two (three? does Out of Hand count?) albums, with World Without End being the clear winner. I still have those three on vinyl. Kind of lucked into them back in Reno after we started dealing in used stuff at Tower.
I'd still the Railway Children over them, just on the strength of Reunion Wilderness.
If anyone cares, I did a short top five list years ago of my favorite underrated jangle albums on my blog (of which Reunion Wilderness is #3).

the lemon drops never did the baggy thing.they just did the slow song/fast song thing.
