Boxset: Lush - "Dead Stars Vol.III: 1996" 
(The first and second part can be found here and here )
Finished
promotional commitments to promote the band Split (1994), Lush not take too long to start basting the songs that would comprise his next work, composing and rehearsing a fairly immediate since early 1995 . The still felt uneasy for not meeting the expectations it placed on them, far from acting as a brake that made them fall into apathy analytical, served as special motivation. Even so, in order to enter the recording studio, were well aware of the unfortunate dance producers of the last time and decided to work with Pete Bartlett , his coach in the direct normal, considering that he would know better understand the sound they were interested in capturing. For mixtures recruited Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade relieved tandem -alternative rock groups of the nineties- of which can be said to work for Lush is among the most careful and accurate in your resume (in other productions have constructed such wall of guitars that the result is artificial, impenetrable).
That this latest volume of Dead Stars
covers only the year 1996 is the best command plenty of material with which they entered the study and who enriched the pool of singles that were coming out of
Lovelife, finally published in March of that year. Single Girl
and
Ladykillers Lush returned to the music scene at the height of media popularity of Brit-pop, and in an environment of patriotic revival sixties and still claim differing from his contemporaries, although this time the focus of accessibility in the arrangements and structures had the opposite effect of Split
: no fog involved, their songs connected with the public and perhaps lived the sweetest time was his recognition, though the band was breaking inside.
unpublished material administered during 1996 is varied and remarkable. On the one hand, among the discards sessions Lovelife are some topics that have earned their place in the album 'Outside World' (the homesickness and loneliness that is experienced in long periods on tour) and 'Shut Up 'narratives of acoustic mattress may be left out for not fitting into the theme of the LP more shrewd, at which sense 'Tinkerbell' (with an amusing array of flute) makes the same punch and sarcasm that issues logo Lovelife, although the letters Relations Miki Berenyi sometimes squeak enough for her too simplistic. For the first time Phil King Chris Acland and sign songs for the band, the first instrumental 'Cul de Sac' (between the swing and jazz) and 'Matador' (no doubt the music of Hispanic character inspired him title) and the second two parts that show affinity with the aggressiveness of Miki (halfway up her 'Sweetie').
Some electronic experiment ("Plums and Oranges'), some quite irrelevant cuteness ('Pudding'), acoustic revisions that exceed the original ('Kiss Chase', 'Olympia'), a spooky home demo Miki ("Dear Me") and a handful of brilliantly executed versions, from the floating reverie of 'I Have the Moon "(The Magnetic Fields) to impact of unfriendly' Demystification '(The Zounds) and" Mannequin "(his second assault on the catalog of Wire). 'All This Useless Beauty', Elvis Costello himself who asked ep version for your name, a title is explicit enough, pretty and metaphorical end of the band (narrated in the first part). Perfect
to close this collection of rarities.
