Dark-edged fusion of groove, beat and indie sensibility. Very Sheffield/Fon Studios.
Not to be confused with proto-Grunge rockers on Sub Pop - featuring Mark Lanegan - who were probably active around the same time.
The Screaming Trees were a mysterious Sheffield duo who luxuriated in the Fon/Sheffield sound of dance crossover beats - following in the footsteps of Age Of Chance, Heaven 17, The Human League, Chakk, Pop Will Eat Itself, Gene and Jim Are Into Shakes and similarly forward-thinking indie types who fell in love with the tyranny of the beat.
The main version is a catchy dancefloor groove based around a horn sample and some tight sequencer work. The MbAaIsNsLlIiNnEe remix is more skeletal and rocks a Janet Jackson sample. Subtly ground-breaking stuff that paved the way for New FADs, World Of Twist et al.
