Wow. That intro still sounds as citrus fresh as it did the first time I put the needle onto side one of the 'Play' EP.
A backwards cymbal creates a rush of sound, breaking into wonderfully urgent distorted guitar. Then you're hit with peals of melodic lead guitar. The track practically hurtles through its three minutes leaving you breathless as the guitars rush to the end.
And so the sad-choirboy shoegaze vocal style was unleashed on the world (well, a few thousand sixth-formers/students in the UK - and maybe it was the Pale Saints what did it first) and Ride had their breakthrough record. Just immaculate.
Hopefully it's sunny where you are today and this sounds good.
