Description
Saint Etienne, featuring former music writer Bob Stanley, presents a vinyl reissue of their 1991 album 『Foxbase Alpha』, which blends 1960s pop with house beats.
Formed by music writers Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, who wrote for magazines such as 『NME』, the London trio Saint Etienne later added vocalist Sarah Cracknell. Their debut album, 『Foxbase Alpha』, released on the prestigious Heavenly Recordings label against the backdrop of early 1990s club culture and acid house, has been reissued.
The album features Neil Young's classic "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" reimagined with dub and house beats, as well as "Nothing Can Stop Us," which showcases the band's sampling techniques and catchy melodies, and "Girl VII" and "London Belongs to Me," which depict the streets of London. This vinyl reissue contains a masterpiece that combines the melancholy of 1960s British pop with dance music.
