The Inspiration may be Bulgarian, but “Pesnopoïka” is pure Halo Maud, with a massively groovy rhythm section, layers upon layers of harmonies and a pretty wild/amazing guitar solo that I thought was a penny whistle at first before my ears acclimated. Maud’s voice is as spellbinding as ever — she can sound a little like Bjork at times, in the best possible way — and that really takes this one into the stratosphere. I assume “Pesnopoïka” is destined for the album — the other three songs here are almost literal extensions of it — and have me very excited to hear more.

That Petrol Emotion's body of work remains critically acclaimed within the music press. It is widely agreed that, while never achieving chart success, the band left a lasting influence on the Britpop and Madchester movements, specifically on such artists such as The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Manic Street Preachers, Andrew Bird, Spoon, Blur and Radiohead. [7] [34] They were posthumously described as having perfected "the art of the scuzzed up alternative pop song" during the 1980s. [35] Discography [ edit ] Albums [ edit ] So we tried to do this thing, where we’d listen to Babble, and then talk about it. This was after we did the Manic Pop Thrill listening party. (Oh – that reminds me – I could post that as well… huh…) After being dropped by Virgin, That Petrol Emotion also parted company with bassist John Marchini (he was replaced by Belfast-born Brendan Kelly) and set up their own record label, Koogat. Kelly's playing pushed That Petrol Emotion towards their heaviest, most riff-laden album to date - Fireproof, released in 1993 - which, like their debut, reached number 1 in the UK Indie Chart. However, despite the generally positive press coverage (and the loyal fan base they had garnered over ten years and five full-length albums), That Petrol Emotion were failing to attain the level of sustained commercial success, or popularity, enjoyed by contemporaries such as My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth. As a result, the band split amicably in 1994. [6] A documentary of That Petrol Emotion's farewell concerts in London and Dublin was released posthumously in 2000 as Final Flame (Fire, Detonation And Sublime Chaos).

The June 1985 performances on the Peel EP predate the band’s first album; songs include “V2,”“Can’t Stop,”“Lettuce” and “Blind Spot.” The full-length Peel album pairs that session with a second one from later the same year. Recorded in Los Angeles, the nifty but questionable 1988 Live mini-album (seemingly a boot, but openly distributed through legitimate channels) has covers of Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl” and Pere Ubu’s “Non Alignment Pact” alongside five of the band’s own tunes, from the pre- Pop Thrill“V2” to the then-new “Here It Is…Take It!” a b c Roberts, David (2006).

As a music fan I’m always interested in plugging gaps, especially when the band or artist in question has existed or is in a similar genre to other bands I’d been listening to at the time; or compared to, maybe possibly even influenced others I enjoy. Originally a Northern Irish, London based quintet with an American singer, the band got together following the demise of Top 40 hitmakers and John Peel favourites The Undertones, their name inspired by the title of a song by another Derry outfit, Bam Bam and The Calling.

The 100 songs on the Yoshimi CD box is an overwhelming amount of content, including the original album, the Fight Test and Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell EPs, b-sides, demos, remixes, radio sessions, live songs and more, much of which has never seen the light of day before. It’s also got lots of new artwork by frontman Wayne Coyne, a booklet with new interviews with the band and producer Dave Fridmann, rare photos and the like. That Petrol Emotion's influences encompassed artists as diverse as The Beatles, Afrika Bambaataa, Television, Sly & the Family Stone, Captain Beefheart and Can. Following some initial interest from Creation Records, they released their debut single " Keen" on Pink Records in July 1985. [6] The sound of the new band severed overt musical links with The Undertones due to its darker, more edgy sound: That Petrol Emotion were also far more political and outspoken than The Undertones had been, with the Irish members listing their names in their Irish language forms on the sleeve art and (in their songwriting) beginning to look into issues relating to the Irish Troubles. [6] [7] O'Gorman would later describe the band as having been "like the Undertones after discovering drugs, literature and politics, with a lot more girls in the audience dancing." [3] As with The Undertones, John O'Neill emerged as principal songwriter (although songwriting contributions were made by all group members). Everybody's Goin' Triple Bad Acid Yeah!"/"Big Decision (Slight Return)" (Clawfist Records - March 1991) (Split single with The Membranes) The next TPE single of 1987, " Genius Move", was banned from being aired by the BBC due to a reference in the sleeve artwork to Sinn Féin politician Gerry Adams [15] (at the time, a hate figure for the UK establishment due to his suspected links with the IRA, which would lead to his voice being banned from British media between 1988 and 1994). [7] [16] O'Gorman has pointed out "there was no need for any reference to (Adams) 'cos the quote was from Liam Mellows, but I think it had been left to our tour manager to sort out the sleeve and without thinking he included a reference to Adam's book. It will haunt us forever that one. Pretty poor excuse all the same to ban us/the single; pathetic, really; however, no one knew we were banned as they didn't make a fuss a la Frankie Goes To Hollywood, very smart on their part." [3]Their music is in a constant, latently violent, state of flux, sometimes overloaded, sometimes taut and splintered: a different kind of tension. For That Petrol Emotion, pop music is certainly not enough…They want to burn, to beat out a music that redefines itself, extends the boundaries.”
