Saint Etienne – Foxbase Alpha (Plain Recordings) LP

Product Description

‘Foxbase Alpha’ was the 1991 debut album by Saint Etienne and it’s a wonderful mix of both modern and retro influences with rave and house music, ambient, samples and 60s pop coexisting easily for a unique sound not found anywhere else at the time. It is best known for their dubbed-out ‘baggy’ cover of Neil Young’s “Only Love Can Break Your Heart”, but also includes gems like “Nothing Can Stop Us” and “She’s The One”. ‘Foxbase Alpha’ was nominated for the Mercury Prize eventually losing to Primal Scream’s ‘Screamadelica’. This early 90s pre-Britpop classic is now available on 180 gram vinyl from Plain Recordings.
