So many good songs spread across Chrome and Ferment..you'll have to have them both, eventually!

Interesting that there's nothing from the 90s that I can point to and go "dude, this is profound and rare shit" like the 80s and even some 00s. Just seemed like I was biding my time during the 90s.

I like Chrome a tad better though because it displayed more depth and emotion. The sound really improved on that album so it didnt feel like any other shoegazer bands. I sort of wonder why Catherine Wheel never really took off since the whole distorted guitar period was very popular. They really had the tools to break out like Oasis and Radiohead did

A Canadian band you probably have never heard of, their self titled debut album from 1988 is excellent.

That IS a good album. I should try to track down a copy of that on CD. I remember it as having kind of a PiL circa "album" quality to it in some places.

I haven't heard SoF in years. Thanks for reminding me about them!
