SOLARFLARES - That Was Then... And So It This LP
$31.95
Pink vinyl.
Former Prisoners / Prime Movers cohorts The Solarflares distilled the myriad pleasures of hard-edged, soulful 60s beat-psych, powerhouse guitar/organ instrumentals, and world class (but never wanky) riffage into a classy package, replete with memorable, groove-heavy tunes with knockout harmonies and that big, bad beat.
“That was Then… and so is This”, their sophomore set, came out on Twist in 2000 and the album’s expanded, richer and more defined sonic palette encompasses kinetic acoustic riffery (“Miles Away”), fuzztastic beaters (“Sucking Out My Insides”) and the Gerry Anderson-inspired (“Angel Interceptor”).
