Electric Stars, The Speed Of Sound

Sonic Candy Soul is the name of The Electric Stars first album, and the name certainly fits the sweet aural pleasure of the anthemic opening chant Beautiful Music For Beautiful People; they are busy with their second album for Detour records but ‘the stars’ take a break to play Whats The Alternative?.

Meanwhile Manchester's The Speed Of Sound continue to ply their original music that manages to cross the Velvet Underground with The Jam and Neil Young with Siouxsie & The Banshees in their own idiosyncratic way.
