Gala was their shining moment (even if it was a collection) - "Sweetness and Light" should be as iconic as MBV's "Soon". That whole record is pretty much perfect - Take the Cocteau Twins' shimmer and mystery and play it like a band - Fantastic record.

 

They had some good stuff after that, but then they drifted into a less reverb-y Brit-rock thing that kind of sounded stale. Good stuff, but a lot of bands caught up with them.

 

Saw them in '92 - fantastic band live, too. Shoegaz-y (in that they didn't do much on stage) but they sounded great.

 

Miss that band - Chris Acland -RIP.

I saw 'em in '92 in Chicago at The Metro. Medicine opened for them. Great show, as I remember. GALA is a great album/compilation that had a lot of promise. SPOOKY was kind of a letdown, though "Monochrome" is probably their best song.

 

 

Damn I love Medicine and Lush, I wish I could have seen that show.
