Rubber Orange - Demo Tape '91

RUBBER ORANGE
Demo Tape '91
1991 Zest Communications

Notes:
Rubber Orange were Lee Severin – Vocals, Lyrics, Lee Dransfield – Guitars, Warren Wrigley – Bass, Andy – Drums, David (Dids) Gill – Keys. Formed from the debris of The Jerks, Rubber Orange brought in a new front-man, Lee Severin, and toured extensively throughout the early 1990s. Hailing from Oldham (though singer Lee was a Londoner), they recorded on their own Zest label, and released the Rubber Orange EP in 1991. The release was initially given a harsh review in NME, only to be more favourably reassessed when it was discovered that critic, Barbara Ellen had played the record at the wrong speed. The band split in the mid nineties with Severin going on to form Jubilee who were signed to Silvertone Records. The remaining members continued to play and record together up and until the late 90's.

Q. Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses

Q. LAZZARUS
Goodbye Horses
1991 Posh Music For Kids Ltd.

Notes :
Q. Lazzarus (Diane Luckey) is mysterious singer who is most well-known for the song "Goodbye Horses," featured first in the 1988 film Married To The Mob and then again (and most famously) in the 1991 film The Silence Of The Lambs.

Lazzarus worked as a taxi driver in New York City before being discovered as a singer. She has also contributed music to the films Philadelphia (performing a stunning soul version of Heaven by Talking Heads) and Something Wild. To this day, not much is known about her or her backing band, but "Goodbye Horses" has become a sort of cult synth pop classic.

The Rosemarys - The Rosemarys

THE ROSEMARYS
The Rosemarys
1994 Fox Records

Notes :
The jangly and echoing guitars on The Rosemarys produce a joyous kaleidoscopic atmosphere, yet, via the lyrics, everything is heartbroken. Songs are devoted to girls ("Dizzy Girl," "Catherine," "Dear Margaret") and thoughts of floating above the clouds ("Spaceman," "Higher"), all of which are deceivingly optimistic thanks to the soft vocals of Tim O. The true uplifting highlights belong to "Sparkle," with backing vocals by Sonya Waters (a deadringer for Kate Bush) and "Spaceman," which grooves with a bouncey bassline. Quite simply, this is prototypical dream pop that will appease most of its adherents.
