Untitled Second

Released in the US for the first time, augmented with 4 bonus tracks : 'Flying (Stephen Lawrie's tornado mix),' 'High On Fire (EP version),' 'Sunspra (previously unreleased),' and 'The Sleepwalk (Richard Formby's sitar version).' The Telescopes were among the most innovative and challenging yet successful artists in Creation Records' 'middle period', a leading part of the wave of sonic experimenters who included Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, Spectrum and Spiritualized. Towards the end of their time with Creation, they made their most fully realized album yet, #, which for reasons too obscure to go into here, was barely released, and barely promoted. A bit of a tragedy really, it's hard to believe listening to this album that it is not an acknowledged classic yet.
