Songs Of Joy

Ultra Vivid Scene - Joy 1967-1990

Ripped from a vinyl album released on 4AD Records (CAD 0005) in 1990 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. Difficult second album syndrome affected many young bands of the era, however UVS managed to follow-up their paisley-tinged debut with twelve beautifully crafted indie-pop songs which reflect more on their peers across the pond were doing than the other US-based acts on the label. The had successfully updated the  C86 sound for the nineties, this was the album which perhaps a band like The Pastels should have made. Thanks to Steve for the rip.
