Utah Saints

Self-Titled

1993

Tracks Of Choice: What Can You Do For Me / Believe In Me / Something Good / I Want You

I mentioned the other day forgetting the albums I want to play when stood in front of the collection. Well this one was supposed to be dug out and played back in August as Utah Saints were one of the headlining acts at Infest Festival and I wanted to give this an airing.

They were spectacular that weekend. Big beats, samples galore and energy pouring out of them and everyone around us.

They were a pioneering dance act back in the day. And yet there we were in 2026 being stunned by them and their power all over again.

It's been a while since I played this. Should have been back in August but, you know, better late than never I guess.

Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies

Love Their Country

17th October 2006

Tracks Of Choice: (Ghost) Riders In The Sky / On The Road Again / Jolene / Goodbye Earl / She Believes In Me

Totally forgot to post this yesterday. 20 years old!

I've loved this band for a very long time now. Next year it will be 30 years since the release of their debut!

However this one is among my favourites of theirs. It's all country songs, which I'm not a fan of, but they inject such melody into them that at times they are genuinely hair raising.

Obviously Jolene is amazing, but the melodic heart of She Believes In Me is remarkable. And their version of Goodbye Earl is top tier.

I reckon this is one of their best collections of songs. Perfectly performed at breakneck speed. 12 songs in 25 minutes. 20 years old.

Wonderful.

Wayside

What Does Your Soul Look Like

2023

Tracks Of Choice: Proud Of You / Parallax Error / Half-Life Nelson / Lean Into It / Weightless

I went to see Acres the other night at The Key Club who were supported by WAYSIDE who were the main reason we went.

I was introduced to them by my eldest daughter Emily Game as they perfectly fit what I love. Woozy shoegazy post grunge emo with bits of Nu Metal influences. Imagine Deftones and Smashing Pumpkins had a three way with Superheaven while The Cure watch.

Perfection.

I was really impressed with how they sounded live. And so chuffed they had made the journey, Australia to the UK isn't a short trip.

I was also pleased they were selling vinyl! So few bands do on the merch table but I was in there like swimwear! On beautiful baby blue wax too.

Looking forward to a new album from these guys. It's bound to be a good one on the evidence of their recent single.

A band to watch!

Korn

Life Is Peachy

15th October 1996

Tracks Of Choice: Twist / Chi / P***o Creep / Good God / No Place To Hide / Adidas

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of KoRn second album Life Is Peachy.

This was my era of Korn. I discovered them in early 97. The videos were on MTV, the songs were on rotation in clubs the limited edition vinyls were still in record shops and they were starting to be one of the biggest bands in the world.

This album while not as good or as impactful as their debut is none the less a classic. The sound they forged in 94 is honed to perfection here. Low slung popping slapping bass lines, scratching and high piercing guitars, heavy rhythms, complex and off kilter drums and the anguished painful vocals.

It's a heady mix. The sound of early Nu Metal before the pop chorus lines came in. It was dirty and feral. And at 17 I loved it.

30 fu***ng years old though. What is going on?

My Dying Bride

Like Gods Of The Sun

14th October 1996

Tracks Of Choice: Like Gods Of The Sun / The Dark Caress / Grace Unehearing / For You / It Will Come / For My Fallen Angel

Today is the 30th anniversary of My Dying Bride 4th album Like Gods Of The Sun.

In a continuation of The Angel And The Dark River this is all sung cleanly which as a fan of Aaron's death metal vocals is a little odd from all the way here in 2026. But at the time this was the band following their muse.

And much like Angel it's dripping in beautifully realised misery. As much as I love death doom and gothic doom and miserable music from all corners of the earth there is something about us Yorkshire folk doing it that is beyond poetic.

This was also the last album to feature drummer Rick Miah and keyboards and violin player Martin Powell. Which I think is telling as there is a shift in style between this lovely record and the divisive 34.788% Complete which came next in 1998.

For me personally I much prefer the run of records from The Dreadful Hours in 2001 up until now really. The 90s albums are classics and as much as I love them they will always be the older version of this band.

Still it's been a while since I played this one. So it only leaves me to say Happy birthday Like Gods Of The Sun. 30 years old today.

Casey

How To Disappear

2024

Tracks Of Choice: Unique Lights / I Was Happy When You Died / For Katie / Bite Through My Tongue / How To Disappear

Sometimes a record pops in your head and you think "I really should play that again" and its always at times when you're no where near your records, or at work or driving to the doctors or some s**t.

But then when you're stood in front of the collection those albums don't always resurface do they?

Well Casey have been popping in and out of my mind for weeks. Never when I want to play a record though. Today however it clicked!

When I first heard this band I was intrigued. After a few listens I knew I liked it. A couple more and I knew I loved it. Didn't take long for me to buy the vinyl and it was in my top 5 albums of 2024.

A beautifully put together woozy and shoegazy take on post hardcore. Emo vibes for sure but the emotional heft of this album is special. There is a depth to this that casual listening won't hear.

Part of me is going to blub my eyes out to this. There is always emotions close to my surface and music has always been one of my coping mechanisms and this one has some tough lyrics to chew through.

But I'm here for it. I love this record. So glad I remembered to get it out!

Paradise Lost

Lost Paradise

1990

Tracks Of Choice: Deadly Inner Sense / Our Savior / Rotting Misery / Breeding Fear

I've been a fan of Paradise Lost for a long time now. 30 years next year actually as 2027 will be the 30th anniversary of One Second the album I first heard of them.

But throughout my fandom one album has always remained out of reach. The bands debut has never graced my ears. I love the bands early work. Gothic in particular but I've never owned a copy of Lost Paradise.

So I got the most recent reissue. A 2025 Peaceville reissue at that.

I've heard a few of these songs here and there but never all of it in one go. So let's enjoy the misery eh?

Palm Reader

Sleepless

2020

Tracks Of Choice: Hold Release / A Bird And It's Feathers / False Thirst / A Love That Tethers / Both Ends Of The Rope

One of the worst crimes against a band was the way this masterpiece was received back in 2020.

Critically it got fantastic scores at the time of review. This post hardcore band had stepped up their game with more complex song structures, more melodies, better production, better lyrics, incredible performances and could be a really challenging band for those looking for this kindness thing.

The fans of this band lapped it up. Proclaiming it a masterpiece! Everyone else went meh.

I heard it and was an instant convert to this band. I adore them. I wondered where they had been all my life. But 2020 was covid and the band began sink.

I finally got to see them live but the room was small and the croud thin in that room too. But they performed like it was Wembley Stadium. Raw honest and life affirming heavy music is untouchable and that night was special.

Then the band announced they would be splitting up. I was devastated. I wanted more music from them. More live dates. We got a farewell tour which was amazing but that was it. Done. This band deserved so much more attention and success.

We've got Vower now. The band lead vocalist Josh went on to join and they are amazing. A debut full length from them is impending. Which I'm looking forward to immensely.

But Sleepless is probably one of my favourite albums of all time now. It's a remarkable work. And I urge you to go and listen to it if you like bands with raw emotion and post hardcore weight.

RIP Palm Reader I miss you still.

Various Artists

Trance Nation Four - Mixed By Ferry Corsten

CD2

Tracks Of Choice: Delerium - Silence / Sister Bliss - Sister Sister / System F - Lost In Motion / Orion - Eternity

It's got a bit metallic round these parts recently hasn't it. So let's whack a big old chunk of dance music in the mix.

I played Disc 1 of this compilation back in July and now it's time for Disc 2.

Hopefully it will brighten up this ugly ass autumn day. It's windy and rainy here in the UK and I have to say it's also got cold. I've had to dig out my warmer lounge wear.

Anyway. Trance remains my favourite style of Dance Music. It will always take me back to the late 90s and early 2000's. And who better to do the mixing than Ferry Corsten. A master of his craft.

Front Line Assembly

Epitaph

8th October 2001

Tracks Of Choice: Dead Planet / Backlash / Epitaph / Everything Must Perish / Decoy

Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of FLA.OG eleventh album Epitaph.

The 90s were an incredible time for FLA. They exited the 80s with a couple of fantastic releases but from 1990's Caustic Grip to 1999's Implode they revolutionised EBM, Electro Industrial and Alternative Electronic Music. Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber even had time to make some new age ambient electronic music that spawned one of the 90s and early 2000's biggest and best loved Trance songs.

But the early 2000s was a different era for FLA. This album shows the stripped down and more straightforward electro industrial sound that Bill and co-conspirator Chris Peterson made. Less guitar driven, more densely layered electronic sounds.

It often gets overlooked. Which is a shame. Because it's a swirling electro beast. Certainly not their best but it's a great listen and perfectly fits the colder autumn that seems to be settling in.

Happy 25th anniversary Epitaph.
