NED'S ATOMIC DUSTBIN Vinilo y CD

Review: A fantastic new pressing of a band who were an important part of the grebo scene in the late 80s and early 90s. Having earned a loyal fanbase with God Fodder, which is their electronically-tinged grunge and pop-punk leaning debut album, this follow-up showed them buck the trend of the difficult second album and deliver the goods. The chart-bothering single 'Not Sleeping Around' is a banger with Stone Roses-y wah guitars, an infectious vocal melody and urgent, hard-hitting rock structure. The same year this was originally released they headlined the NME stage at Glastonbury and cemented their reputation as one of the best live bands in Britain of that time.

Review: Some Furtive Years - A Ned's Anthology is an excellent collection from the 90s Britpop band Ned's Atomic Dustbin, known for their edgy blend of punk and funk-influenced pop songs that impressed the UK fans and beyond from 1991 to 1995. This compilation, assembled with the band's input in 2007, includes 16 of their most beloved tracks, such as 'Grey Cell Green,' 'Kill Your Television,' 'Until You Find Out,' 'Not Sleeping Around,' and 'Cut Up.' Furtive Years effectively highlights the best of Ned's Atomic Dustbin, showcasing the band's high-energy, post-"Madchester" alternative rock sound and proving just how underrated they were. For the first time, Some Furtive Years - A Ned's Anthology is available on vinyl as a limited edition release. This 2LP set is pressed on yellow-colored 180-gram audiophile vinyl with an etched D-side and includes an insert.

Review: Ned's Atomic Dustbin's final studio album, Brainbloodvolume, marks a departure from the Stourbridge earlier pop roots, embracing a diverse array of styles and experimental approaches. Released initially in the U.S. in March 1995 before reaching the U.K. in July that year, the album received a mixed reception due to the overwhelming Brit-pop wave at the time. However, it stands out as an ambitious and energetic release, showing the band's evolution with ultramodern production, electronic elements and adventurous sampling.
