The Telescopes...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 Spiritualised.... Recently reformed (though in truth they never went away) side projects like Antenna Records and Unisex have kept them in the forefront of experimental pop worldwide. Towards the end of their time with Creation Records, they made their most fully realised 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.....I suppose it was lost in the stars. So here it is again, intensified with two extra tracks, lavish packaging and all the paraphernalia one would expect of Rev-Ola!

Splashdown / High on Fire / You Set My Soul / Spaceships / The Presence of Your Grace / And / Flying / Yeah / Ocean Drive / Please Tell Mother / To The Shore / Dnaanb / Tornado

Hot on the heels of the success of the amazing lost Telescopes album comes another hidden gem in the catalogue of today’s foremost mind expanding sound experimenters, "Taste".

The first album length recording by The Telescopes laid out their stall for all time as a source of psychedelic experimental noise, in a pop/rock framework which was to make them a hit indie act in the strange musical world of the late 1980's..which already seems so far away, like a dream.

Including the timeless single "The Perfect Needle", a song which encapsulated the early sound of The Telescopes on the radio waves of a grateful nation.

And Let Me Drift Away / I Fall She Screams / Oil Seed Rape / Violence / Threadbare / The Perfect Needle / There Is No Floor / Anticipating Nowhere / Please, Before You Go / Suffercation / Silent Water / Suicide
