Chapterhouse – 'Breather'

The brilliant opener to Chapterhouse‘s debut record ‘Whirpool’, originally released in 1991 before being re-released by Cherry Red in 2006. Sadly, it doesn’t look like the Brit legends will be doing anything further (following their 2008-2010 reunion shows). Crosses fingers even so.

Following its release, the band took an abstract, ambient turn. ‘Fluidtrance Centauri…‘ was recorded live during a session for the late John Peel in London.

In this case, Medicine‘s ‘Never Click’ from ’93′s ‘The Buried Life’ is a garage noise rocker with all of the raw edges and chaos you’d expect.’The Buried Life’ [...]
