I've been looking for stuff from these guys for years. They're finally popping up online. I was the only person I knew who listened to these guys in highschool in '93. Still haven't met anyone else whose even heard of them to this day.
i was adding these guys to my progBlog and thought I'd see if I could find any video's. Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate I'd find any. And How appropriate that your vid is from the old 120 minutes show. That's where I first heard these guys. I used to record it every week. found a lot of good music from that show. thanks a ton!
the voice of the 90's, this video brings back some good memories... I saw them a couple of times in Seattle in front of what must have been 100 people. they exploded our ears!
it's impossible to see or hear anything like this anywhere else but on youtube. youtube rules. somebody mentioned mtv. the name from the past. is it still around?
Economic models I suppose. Why bother with playing videos when most people are going to watch them here and download the albums? I can't imagine MTV making much profit that way when they can just air shows that embarrass the crap out of New Jersey. Because sadly there is a big audience for mindless TV.
Yea, i can take attest to that because I live in New Jersey. Yet people still watch it religously here! They say they just think it's funny... sure...
I absolutely love this song!! I've played it to death. I wish Lush would have been really, really successful... they lost me after Split (which was almost as good as Spooky) but what came afterward.....nah. It really IS a shame!
From what i gathered. When they went their separate ways with Robin Guthrie from Cocteau twins. Miki took the band in the direction that they really wanted to go. Like you i liked the ethereal aspect of Lush's original sound. Very CT influenced. Wasn't too much a fan of the heavier sounding stuff.
if you listen to the early EPs (eg: side2 of "Gala"), they were originally more "punky" and raw sounding ("Bitter" and "Second Sight") . I think Guthrie had a huge influence on them in the studio.,as did Tim Friese-Green, as far as their "sound" also Miki was more of the "rocker" while Emma wrote a lot of their "ethereal" stuff. I think Miki's songwriting took over "Lovelife". That and the obvious tensions in the band at that time.
Well its very hard to find some CDs today, most CDs of this kind are mostly out of print, i buy CDs and when i found something hard to find, i try always to but it, because it will dissapear, since just few people will buy it in most cases, and the CD store remove it because of that, if you want CDs that are hard to find, look for Discogs, you will probably find more Lush material than Gala.

I first read about Lush in a rock encyclopedia a few yrs. ago and they described them as "a dreamy shoegazing early 90's Brit-pop band that showed lots of promise til Aclund offed himself." When I hear this song I'm sure it's the one I heard so long ago..like a reverie in a dream is their music. God bless ya Micki Berenyi; your hauntingly, achingly beautiful music captured a moment in time that'll stay with me forever...like quicksilver it is.
I think the idea of saying I miss shoegaze isn't saying it is dead, it is saying I miss or wish I was apart of the moment in time that was the late 80's early 90's Britain when the music was of the moment as we are now left looking back on bands like Lush.
My favorite band from my college days. Miki Berenyi is one of my idols, just so cool. Under the Radar did a fantastic interview with her from late last year.
You can read even more recent news from Miki herself in the on-line VPME (Von Pip Musical Express) where she shares her personal photo album of the good ole Lush years !
I met Lush working at a store in Pittsburgh, PA called Slacker.....they were shocked I knew who they were. They were in town to play at Lollapalooza that year, Maybe I believe 92 or 93. Was pretty sweet. Love this band, back when music was good...lol
it was the early 90s...the "madchester" mooveement then even more grunge were basically underground but were more and more successfull...mtv eat every new "genre" that sell a lot...
MTV was doin' that by opportunity...they belived in the commercial potential of underground (as pearl jam and nirvana prooved it)... now they believe 'eyes closed' in r'n b and black 'show me the money' stuff... it's a sad time...
MTV: it was called "120 minutes" - sunday nights, and for a hot minute they also offered us "The Cutting Edge" and "The Young Ones", and the USA network had "Night-Flight" with shows from the UK like "The Tube" - the good old days...
I'm sorry. PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
This song has always been a highlight and when I saw them Live in 1991 and 1994 this was a highlight in their live set. This version though edits out quite a bit, including a cool mystical sounding solo and the ending part :( The album version is almost 2 minutes. longer.
And omg, miki and emmas faces almost touching make me want to just pull them through the screen and hug them to death...
i love all their albums like lovelife & split, but this is definitely one of their best songs. it's so hypnotic and incredibly beautiful and romantic.
Miki (interviewed by Timothy White in 1992) : "Although it's about Emma not being very happy, I think it's a very romantic song. Those lyrics are MOVING."
This was my favorite album of theirs it had the most beautiful songs "For Love", "Untogether", and Monocrome put me to tears. Split though was the most emotional album and it was the best produced and musically put together. Lovelife was a classic that never went as far as it should have. Gala and all the Bsides and eps were phenomenal as well i got into them in 1990 and they are still one of my favorite bands today i saw them live 3 times and it blew my mind.
"Nothing Natural" was one of the "Spooky" album songs. Miki and Emma didn't like this video because of the loads of discomforting white light : Emma closes her eyes when she can - look how reduced were their pupils !
My daughter and I used to watch 120 minutes together all the time when she was growing up... always loved the dreamy quality Lush had; we both still love the 80's and 90's videos! I don't see the same variety or creativity in music (or videos) today.....
Miki is 35 this year... And I'm sure she's still worth watching (I'd be glad to check it out). I miss the early 90's as much as you, Triumph7 : music was better and... We were younger too.
so good...no one quite like them...saw them live at the 930 club in dc back in the early 90's...the lead singer came on and said something about having her period...so awesome...
this simple video captures the airy, celestial feel of this song perfectly. love it, love this band.
i miss the 90's as much everyone else, the music, tv, everything, it was truly a great time to be alive. i guess i took it all for granted and never realized things could be this awful. there used to be a good concert every other week, now i find myself going to maybe 2-3 shows/yr. most of the cd's i buy are from 90s bands who still make music or are side projects from members of defunct bands.
lol, you're not the only one who feels older seeing these videos? i can't believe it's been 11 years since i saw them, feels like yesterday and i remember it like it was yesterday.
As good as Gala and Spooly were, Micki said that Split was the way that they really wanted to produce their music all along. I could never figure that out, except to promote the newer music.

Split is my favorite for sure. There are some moment on that album that are devastating like Never Never. A rare gem of an album that most people have never heard. Just like Forever Changes by Love.
I'm a little disappointed that (1) the sound is out of sync with the visuals and (2) as a video it's a bit unimaginative, at least compared to "Deluxe" or "For Love". But it's still one of my favorite songs of theirs, and I still love it.
I've loved this song since I first heard it yet I never saw them until You Tube. They are as beautiful as they sound, I had no clue.

This was my favorite album of theirs it had the most beautiful songs "For Love", "Untogether", and Monocrome put me to tears. Split though was the most emotional album and it was the best produced and musically put together. Lovelife was a classic that never went as far as it should have. Gala and all the Bsides and eps were phenomenal as well i got into them in 1990 and they are still one of my favorite bands today i saw them live 3 times and it blew my mind.

Gala was really good, songs like Scarlett and Thoughtforms show how good this band was.

I don't have Gala but I have the Scarlett cd-single (which has Thoughtforms on it)- and you're right, those two songs are definite keepers.

"Nothing Natural" was one of the "Spooky" album songs. Miki and Emma didn't like this video because of the loads of discomforting white light : Emma closes her eyes when she can - look how reduced were their pupils !

Apologizes for my first silly comment : Miki is born march 18, 1967 ; she's therefore 40 this year.

My daughter and I used to watch 120 minutes together all the time when she was growing up... always loved the dreamy quality Lush had; we both still love the 80's and 90's videos! I don't see the same variety or creativity in music (or videos) today.....

Notice the presence of Steve Rippon (with the white guitar), the first Lush bass player. He left the band after been fed up with touring.

Miki is 35 this year... And I'm sure she's still worth watching (I'd be glad to check it out). I miss the early 90's as much as you, Triumph7 : music was better and... We were younger too.

so good...no one quite like them...saw them live at the 930 club in dc back in the early 90's...the lead singer came on and said something about having her period...so awesome...

this simple video captures the airy, celestial feel of this song perfectly. love it, love this band.
i miss the 90's as much everyone else, the music, tv, everything, it was truly a great time to be alive. i guess i took it all for granted and never realized things could be this awful. there used to be a good concert every other week, now i find myself going to maybe 2-3 shows/yr. most of the cd's i buy are from 90s bands who still make music or are side projects from members of defunct bands.

I love Lush. It's such a shame what happened to them. Their first three albums are amazing.

lol, you're not the only one who feels older seeing these videos? i can't believe it's been 11 years since i saw them, feels like yesterday and i remember it like it was yesterday.

I don't care what a lot of the critics said, I think Robin Guthrie did the best work for Lush and this is one of the most awesome videos ever.

Absolutely spot on. It was never quite the same for me after Spooky. Sunbathing & Astronaut were just Blissful. Could almost reduce me to tears.

As good as Gala and Spooly were, Micki said that Split was the way that they really wanted to produce their music all along. I could never figure that out, except to promote the newer music.

Split is my favorite for sure. There are some moment on that album that are devastating like Never Never. A rare gem of an album that most people have never heard. Just like Forever Changes by Love.

I'm a little disappointed that (1) the sound is out of sync with the visuals and (2) as a video it's a bit unimaginative, at least compared to "Deluxe" or "For Love". But it's still one of my favorite songs of theirs, and I still love it.

Great sound from when good music was easier to find. it's all industry or NME driven now, just gimmicks.
