The Boo Radleys-Lazarus

[honeypower]

Most of the time when people say under-rated they mean under-recognised.

[PrawnSticks]

@honeypower Very true. Most people who have actually heard it, LOVE it.

[HonoriaPlum]

I agree with Kaini. One of my fav CDs from the 90s. Never get tired of it.

[ticoallstar]

The horns on this sounded glorious when I was tripping. One of my favourite acid albums ever!

[Pansoul]

Gosh! I didn't hear this awesome song since 15 years! Still love it!

[mintybartlam]

An excellent song, by far their best. Bought 3 of their albums at the time but with the exception of the solid & inventive Giant Steps I'm not that interested in them now. Saw them supporting Dinosaur Jr on the Green Mind tour. Dinosaur Jr were amazing, but Radleys hadn't developed their sound at the time & were extremely loud but very derivative My Bloody Valentine style shoegazers with one dimensional wall-of-sound guitar & barely audible vocals. They did improve rapidly.

[krank027]

The best-ever Creation album....

[MrAggtee]

@krank027 Yeah, but not the most successful .... life is a bitch

[theNomadz]

The most underrated act of the nineties as well, they was so good and I managed to keep hold of my copy. Damn shame though that I sold my stereo for beer money.

[UltimateVenom]

i love finding amazing bands like this for the first time

[MrBoonpee]

@UltimateVenom Check out Brave Captain, the Boo's front-man project, not as good as the Boo but since you are like 10 years late after they disbanded you might wanna check their later works

[RitmoNo1]

Reminds me of the band Naafi Sandwich and Minister of Noise (Sir Freddie Viaduct)

[sizone]

earlier stuff is better, this isnt nearly as complex or challenging.... too much of a major key easy listening anthem here. Everything's Alright was way more groundbreaking, this is just a nice summary of the kinda dub fusion stuff that was going on years before Boo switched styles and got around to making radio friendly stuff influenced by Jah Wobble and lots of stuff Adrian Sherwood had influence on with recycling 60s melody with dub...

[TheSuperFungus]

@sizone - That's why listening to alternative radio stations such as university radio etc is so awesome, you will hear songs like their earlier ones there!

This track was very out of the ordinary when 95 bFM (University station, Auckland, NZ) played it in 1993. I was also lucky to hear Trent Reznor debut his NIN album 'Pretty Hate Machine' through bFM as well, fantastic!

[therocketroy]

cool

[MrMusicgenie]

such an excellent eclectic album xx

[reltonpelton]

anyone got the acoustic n trumpet version from the creation tenth anniversary show? shoulda kept it simpler!

[kaini]

@reltonpelton also recommended is the live version on the short-lived channel 4 music program, 'naked city'. boos + a full mariachi horn section. mind-blowing.

[Palpebralis]

I'm listening this song for the first timei in15 years... Is so beautiful!!!!

[godfrey8by]

I think this is a belter!

One of the best pieces of music and little bit of noise EVER

[kaini]

the most underrated album of the nineties, maybe. the way this song combines dub, beatles, and mariachi horns still blows my mind. i wish i hadn't sold my giant steps vinyl for beer money back in 96 or 97 >_<

[Quuumk]

@kaini You are just right

[76mimzy]

@kaini . Def underrated masterpiece, just played the vinyl again for first time in ages and still grinning like a fool. One of my fav songs ever

[MrMusicgenie]

@kaini ha you sound like me

[MrMusicgenie]

@kaini ha you sound like me

[MagnificentFiend]

@kaini NME and Select named it album of the year at the time. Not exactly underrated?

[MagsTheJedi]

@kaini Seconded and thirded. I remember reading a student review way back that described "Giant Steps" as what the White Album-era Beatles would have released had they been around in the early 90s. In fact, I just stopped in to this vid to make a point to my girlfriend about how underrated they are. If only they could go back and NOT release "Wake Up Boo" as a single, maybe things would have been very different.

[basha07]

gonna fire this up on 12" this sat in my dj set

triumphant trumpets!

[dustysound]

boo radleys, primal scream, blur, pulp...

[maddobbo]

OK until the vocals started!

[UncleMowglie]

@maddobbo amazing..until the vocals started..

[andyholmes121]

what a tune

[AndrewGoodyKFC]

This is one of the best albums ever written.

[mnoble]

@AndrewGoodyKFC You are so right, this is an unbelievably good album, they were the best band of their genre by a long way

[anapbzanini]

lixo

[MrMusicgenie]

One of the top 5 albums of the the 90s

[BahmanG]

So psychedelic....

[SHOEGAZEFAN73]
