░░ ░░
░░ Real- ░░
░░ Although 1994's SPLIT was by far Lush's best effort, showing a ░░
░░ full-circle maturity in musicianship and songwriting, GALA is certainly ░░
░░ the best introduction to Lush, as it was the beginning of a seven year ░░
░░ career tragically cut short by the death of drummer Chris Acland. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ A compilation for the US market of three EPs released in the UK, GALA ░░
░░ is a presentation of a new band finding its way musically. It's a ░░
░░ fantastic album, although some of the songs are understandably weak due ░░
░░ to the uncertainly of its young performers. The production is ░░
░░ atmospheric and shimmery, and the complex feedback-drenched songs came ░░
░░ to create that particularly fitting adjective "Lush-ious." Brightest ░░
░░ highlights are "Thoughtforms," in it's second version (track 7), and ░░
░░ "De-Luxe." ░░
░░ There's a hard edge to Lush. It was up front and obvious in their ░░
░░ stripped down swansong, Lovelife, on Gala it's a little less obvious. ░░
░░ Listen to Downer, Babytalk and especially Bitter and the aggression and ░░
░░ grit the songs need is all there in Berenyi's vocals, all dreamy and ░░
░░ ethereal Lush are not. This album is a compilation of Lush's first ░░
░░ three releases; the Scar mini LP, Mad Love EP and Sweetness and Light ░░
░░ single. This is the ideal starting point for anyone coming fresh to ░░
░░ Lush, a perfect introduction. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Sweetness and Light- ░░
░░ Lush were an early 90's "shoegazing" band that I feel were very ░░
░░ underrated and didn't get the recognition they deserved. This is their ░░
░░ first US release and it's a compilation of EP's that were previously ░░
░░ released in the UK. Best songs: Sweetness And Light, De-Luxe, and ░░
░░ Breeze. If you like bands such as My Bloody Valentine and Ride, then ░░
░░ this is definately worth checking out. ░░
░░ I just recently re-discovered this album. Completely off of my general ░░
░░ music listening radar - rock to classical to jambands. Want to complete ░░
░░ your musical circle? Give any of their albums a shot. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ I also believe it was this album that, when played at the same time as ░░
░░ the video, "Beyond the Mind's Eye", tracked virtually perfectly. Ahh ░░
░░ those were the days. Needless to say, it can be enjoyed in any state of ░░
░░ mind. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ The perfect introduction to Lush. ░░
░░ I first sampled this album at a record store by ASU over ten years ░░
░░ ago...the cover just caught my eye. WOW! I dont know jack about ░░
░░ cockteau twins but I think Lush rules! My taste in music has covered ░░
░░ rock to electronic to classical and I recently acquired this cd again ░░
░░ after many years of absence and it just makes the heart soar to hear ░░
░░ all these great tunes again and again. ░░
░░ If you've never heard Lush and want to take a chance on something new, ░░
░░ this album is worth the change. You will definitely be impressed! ░░

░░ *** ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Hope yÆall donÆt mind me going back to the 1990Æs again but this ░░
░░ trip is pretty special. Why? Because Lush were a pretty special ░░
░░ UK band to me. They popped as much as they rocked. Their tender, ░░
░░ jangly guitar sound always had a raw edge to it. They were like ░░
░░ ABBA meets The Jesus & Mary Chain. They were the sound of a ░░
░░ glorious and mysterious, ethereal yet corrosive galaxy opening up ░░
░░ right before Grunge, Techno/Rave, Jungle/Drum NÆ Bass, Trip Hop ░░
░░ and BritPop would sadly eclipse them forever. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Most people (whether theyÆre music critics or not) usually love ░░
░░ artistsÆ first albums and treasure them more than their later ░░
░░ work (except in the case of 60Æs groups like The Beatles, Stones, ░░
░░ etc.) And while Gala is no exception, it also really isnÆt a ░░
░░ ôdebut albumö either. ItÆs really a collection of EPÆs. Lush cut ░░
░░ 3 EPÆs with 3 producers in the UK and their US label Reprise ░░
░░ decided (in a cheap, underhanded but strangely brill move) to ░░
░░ just smoosh them together and call it their ôdebutö when they ░░
░░ released it in America. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ Yet LushÆs sound never really suffers for it. Gala presents you ░░
░░ with the paradox of a young, loud, brash, talented pop/rock band ░░
░░ with sweetly (and at times angrily) cooing female vocals right in ░░
░░ your face. Lead singer/songwriters and guitarists Emma Anderson ░░
░░ and Miki Berenyi detail the ups and downs of their lovelife over ░░
░░ jagged guitars that donÆt stab but instead flow, breeze and even ░░
░░ WHOOSH right past you. It was a strange yet sweet formula to be ░░
░░ sure. They even cover an ABBA song here (ôHey Hey Helenö) and two ░░
░░ of their own tunes twice! (ôThoughtformsö and ôScarlet.ö) Still, ░░
░░ all of this only added to the delicious mystery of the band. ░░
░░ ░░
░░ But one still had to wonder where else Lush could go with that ░░
░░ sound after Gala. Which is why if you dig this smart and breezy ░░
░░ ôdebutö then pleeze do yerselves a favour and buy their other 3 ░░
░░ CDÆs (in chronological order: Spooky, Split and Lovelife.) They ░░
░░ all paint a fascinating picture of what a 1990Æs UK pop rock band ░░
░░ was capable of. ░░

░░ *** WHO ARE Lush ??? ░░
░░ #Rnotes ░░
░░ Meshing dreamy, feedback-drenched guitars with airy, catchy melodies, ░░
░░ Lush were one of the most prominent shoegazing bands of the early '90s. ░░
░░ Led by guitarists Miki Berenyi and Emma Anderson, the British band ░░
░░ earned a cult following within the British and American undergrounds ░░
░░ with its first EPs, yet the group never quite attained the critical ░░
░░ respect given to its peers My Bloody Valentine and Ride. Even so, Lush ░░
░░ lasted longer than any other of their contemporaries (with the ░░
░░ exception of the Boo Radleys), developing sharp pop skills as their ░░
░░ career progressed. By the time of their final album, 1996's Lovelife, ░░
░░ they had converted themselves into a power pop band with dream pop ░░
░░ overtones, which resulted in the greatest chart success of their ░░
░░ career. Their success was dealt a blow when drummer Chris Acland ░░
░░ committed suicide in the fall of 1996, effectively bringing the band to ░░
░░ an end. ░░
░░ #Rnotes ░░
░░ Miki Berenyi, Emma Anderson, Chris Acland, Steve Rippon (bass), and ░░
░░ Meriel Barham (guitar) formed Lush in 1988 in London, England. Prior to ░░
░░ the group's formation, school friends Berenyi and Anderson had ░░
░░ collaborated on a fanzine together, as well as played in a number of ░░
░░ other bands individually. Anderson, who had been working as a DHSS ░░
░░ clerical assistant, had played bass with the Rover Girls, while Berenyi ░░
░░ had been a member of I-Goat, Fuhrer Five, and the Lillies. Berenyi's ░░
░░ then-boyfriend, Acland had previous played with several other groups as ░░
░░ well, including Panik, Infection, and A Touch of Hysteria. Barham left ░░
░░ Lush soon after the band's formation to form the Pale Saints, and the ░░
░░ remaining members began playing around London, quickly earning a number ░░
░░ of fans, including Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins. Guthrie helped ░░
░░ the band secure a contract with 4AD Records, and they released their ░░
░░ acclaimed debut EP, Scar, in 1989. Lush supported the EP with opening ░░
░░ tours for Loop and the Darling Buds, and by 1990, they had graduated to ░░
░░ headlining tours of their own. ░░
░░ #Rnotes ░░
░░ Throughout 1990, the band's reputation in the British music press began ░░
░░ to grow as they released the acclaimed EPs Mad Love and Sweetness and ░░
░░ Light, played high-profile gigs like the Glastonbury Festival, and ░░
░░ became favorites of the music weeklies' gossip columns. Gala, an album ░░
░░ compiling their three EPs, became the band's first American release at ░░
░░ the end of 1990. Lush spent most of 1991 recording their debut album, ░░
░░ releasing the Black Spring EP in the spring. Rippon left the band ░░
░░ during the sessions, and was replaced by Philip King, a former picture ░░
░░ researcher for NME and a previous member of Felt, Servants, and Biff ░░
░░ Bang Pow. Lush finally released their delayed debut album, Spooky, in ░░
░░ the spring of 1992. While the album sold well, reaching the British Top ░░
░░ Ten and topping the U.K. indie charts, it was criticized in the press ░░
░░ for Guthrie's heavy-handed production. The band supported the album in ░░
░░ America by appearing on the second Lollapalooza tour, but their dream ░░
░░ pop wasn't well-received by an audience hungry for metal. Lush released ░░
░░ their second album, Split, in the summer of 1994 to mixed reviews. ░░
░░ Split was lost in the twin waves of Brit-pop and American post-grunge, ░░
░░ even through the band's songwriting was more pop-oriented than ever. ░░
░░ #Rnotes ░░
░░ After regrouping during 1995, Lush returned in early 1996 with ░░
░░ Lovelife, an album that showcased a debt to the pop-single ideals of ░░
░░ Brit-pop. The musical changeover paid off as "Single Girl" and ░░
░░ "Ladykiller" became their two biggest hit singles, and the album became ░░
░░ a British Top 20 hit; in America, it was their highest-charting album, ░░
░░ even if it just scraped the charts at 189. Lush had completed their ░░
░░ supporting tours and summer festival appearances when Chris Acland ░░
░░ unexpectedly hanged himself in his parent's house on October 17, 1996. ░░
░░ Devastated by his death, the remaining members of Lush went into a long ░░
░░ period of mourning, eventually disbanding. ░░
