The Chimes - Loves Comes To Mind 1990

From their 1990 Album The Chimes
_________


Biography by Stewart Mason

Scottish R&B trio the Chimes formed in 1988 when multi-instrumentalists and producers Mike Peden and James Locke (formerly of the synth-poppers Fiction Factory) drafted singer Pauline Henry to sing on some dance-pop demos they had recorded. The resulting tracks got the trio signed to CBS Records, who released their first single, "Love So Tender," in 1989. Though the single was a critical hit, thanks largely to Henry's expressive but controlled voice, it was not a particularly strong-seller. The trio hooked up with Soul II Soul's Jazzie B and Nellee Hooper, the club producers of the moment, to record the follow-up, "1-2-3," which was a bigger hit, though a less-interesting song. Third time was the charm, however, as the trio's next single, a canny acid house reworking of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," reached the U.K. Top Ten.

Their debut album, 1990's The Chimes, was a minor hit in the U.K. and a critical and college radio favorite in the U.S., but Henry left Locke and Peden later that year for a solo career. Her first solo album, 1994's Pauline, scored a minor hit with another unexpected remake, a trip-hop version of Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love." Locke became an indie producer, helming albums for acts like the Glasgow dream pop quartet the Bathers. Peden became a noted producer and remixer on the British underground dance scene of the '90s, with credits on a huge number of singles and albums.

In 2001, a collection of single sides, remixes, and album tracks, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, was released.

Nothing but respect for this group, tune sounds as fresh as a daisy...a mark of class as far as I am concerned.

Wow. This was a biggie in a relationship I had with my first love. I can remember him making me a mix of songs on a cassette and this was on it. He knew exactly what kind of songs I loved. I took the tape with me on a family vacation to Florida and listening to this song thinking how much I loved this man. See-he was stationed in Georgia and I lived up North. A long distance love affair that led to much pain in the end:( Love shows me the way...

This one was always my favorite on the album, and it still is. For me, it's brings the whole album together. It's their most lush, moving moment, the one time where everything seems to fall in place just right. A lot of the other tracks are dated, delivering that distinctively late 80s/early 90s Euro R&B sound, but not this one.
