Never Lose That Feeling [1992]
Back to the good ole days when I was twenty. Me and my mate Tony would stay up late, drink and smoke, listening to all the new and groovy sounds on cd. I'd totally forgotten the epic grunge-gaze and kaleidoscopic sax-haze of Never Lose That Feeling/Never Learn. Alan Moulder sprinkles some magic at the mixing desk.
What a jam.
Glorious.
Cars Converge On Paris [1993]
Unbelievably this tune, one of their greatest, was exclusively tucked away on the import only US version of The Last Train To Satansville cd EP.
Cars Converge On Paris might be Swervedriver's most psychedelic moment. Like a hazy mirage in the desert with a mesmerizing intergalactic bass that swirls to infinity and vocals, drums & guitars falling upwards backwards in a disorientating dreamy daydream.
Glorious.
Last Train To Satansville [1993]
Speaking of which here it is one their most famous video moments. An edited down version of Last Train To Satansville. A classic 90s guitar pop tune for the eternally underrated grungy shoegazers. A get home from the pub late and watch Rage classic.
Duel [1993]
Ok ok I can't stop now. There's just no way you can go past this remarkable historic tune.
It's another one of their singles but this isn't the video because the original six and half minutes shouldn't ever be cut down. I mean it starts out pretty blissed up right from the get go but the sprawling euphoria keeps growing then it just keeps on expanding into wide screen ecstatic peaks so that by 1:35 the elation is reaching unbearable levels. The dreamy psychedelic exhilaration gets overwhelming then later in the comedown lulls it becomes a bit melancholy that is until it starts its upward trajectory again. Then the take it down now, wind-down is a splendid sonic seaside scenario.
One of the the most sublime guitar tunes of the 90s.
Rewind!
