THE DREAM

The Dream

Notes :

Really obscure album from The Dream, late 80's/early 90's indie rock band from Nottingham.

Band members were: Simon Siegel (vocals & guitar), Robert Howard (guitar), Mark Colwill (bass) and Gurminder Singh (drums).

After hearing their song ''Desires'' on youtube or twitter, i started searching everywhere for their album and found copy in my old mp3 files :)

Album is released on CD & vinyl with 11 songs. My copy have only 10 songs, last song called ''Last Monday'' is missing. If anyone have copy, it will be great to help to complete full album.

Hinterland - Resurrect

 

 

HINTERLAND

Resurrect

1992 CBM

 

Notes :

Third and final single for Hinterland, ''Resurrect'' probably is their best track, influenced by early 90's indie dance sound. It was released two years after their debut album, maybe it was taken as promo single from their unreleased second album. Anyone have any info ?

 

01. Resurrect

02. Born Again (Excuse The Pun)

03. Love Quarantine

04. Earthworm

Formed in June 1988 in Hull by Nick Langley (bass & vocals) and Alison Hughes (rhythm guitar & vocals), they travelled the length and breadth of the country pedalling their twee indiepop, having picked up Hugh Whitaker (drums & vocals) and Steve Parry (guitar) along the way.

Band members were : Simon Ashby (vocals), John Mitchell (guitar), Robert S (bass) and Ben Mitchell (drums).

After The Jeremiahs, vocalist Simon Ashby formed baggy band This Gigantic World and released two singles ''Hoover Bag / Raft'' and ''Swagger''. Both singles are on my most wanted records list, if anyone can help, will be great.
