MBV Scientists connection


LEAD FOOT
THE SCIENTISTS
1985


YOU MADE ME REALISE
MY BLOODY VALENTINE
1988


SON OF MUSTANG FORD
SWERVEDRIVER
1990

You hear about early MBV being influenced by The Scientists, Birthday Party and The Cramps. I did hear some of these early MBV recordings once and they were not the best. Listening the other day to an old Scientists record though made me go oh here's a connection to the My Bloody Valentine we all know and love. So they didn't necessarily jettison their old influences in favour of new ones. Much respect. It might be a tenuous connection, I can hear it anyway. And when that Swervedriver song came out we all thought "How Blatant is that?" Anyway see what you think.
