From their Balearic breakthrough ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’ to the effervescent swinger ‘Nothing Can Stop Us’… the sharp electro beats of ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ and ‘He’s On The Phone’ to the nu-disco, scratch-your-eyes-out ‘Sylvie’, Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley, and Pete Wiggs‘ run of hits, collected together here for the first time, makes for a supernaturally strong collection. Pulling together 36 songs from an 18 year-old odyssey, across several different record labels, ‘London Conversations’ travels from blissful baggy ecstasy through breakbeat rap (‘Filthy’), proto-Britpop and early folk-tronica, to 21st century pop and beyond. It’s the secret history of the city that they love….
