The excitement of mail-ordering 7"s from Stereolab's Duophonic label yielded a number of delights - not least an array of coloured vinyl Stereolab singles.
On one occasion it delivered me this single from Arcwelder - 140 seconds of urgent powerpop majesty (plus a b-side I have long since forgotten) that just begs you to put the needle back to the start and play it again.
Whilst more was heard from Arcwelder (a series of albums on Touch and Go) for some reason I never sought out anything else by them. Maybe I knew that this was perfection and I shouldn't risk sullying its memory with less insistent, less mercurial fare.
