Foxbase Alpha (Deluxe Edition)

The debut album by Saint Etienne, re-packaged and re-released after eighteen years! Newly remastered and with a bonus disc featuring a collection of singles, B-sides and rare tracks.

"Foxbase Alpha (named after a childhood in-joke about a place filled with gorgeous people) is both retro and modern, a love letter and a scrapbook, a compendium of private passions from Dusty Springfield to King Tubby, David Mamet to football, C86 to ambient house, and London, always London.

The effect is to invite the listener into a world slightly warmer, brighter and more exciting than the real one. And despite its many American influences, its Swinging London romanticism anticipated Britpop." - The Guardian
