  1. I did like someone's comment that Catherine Wheel was a midpoint between the braininess of Radiohead (who opened for them) and the dunderheadedness of Oasis...seems about right.

    Also, there's just *so much* Pink Floyd-ness on this album. I mean, in case you didn't get it, they basically reproduced the "radio" trick from Wish You Were Here on one track...and hired producer Bob Ezrin, who did The Wall...

  2. Catherine Wheel - Adam and Eve

    A huge recovery from Happy Days.

    Dickinson, Futter, Hawes, and Sims expand their palette further, put together a collections of great, varied tracks, assisted by producers Bob Ezrin and Garth Richards.

    Despite that, the band just never took off. There'd be one very weak follow-up, Wishville, and that's all she wrote.

    Future Boy, live, from the tour that followed this release:

  3. Catherine Wheel - 30th Century Man

    EP that came out around when Ferment was released (1992), the guys do a ripping cover of the title Scott Walker tune, That’s When I Reach for My Revolver (by Mission of Burma), and Don’t Want to Know if You Are Lonely (by Hüsker Dü).

    Toss in one original (Free of Mind) and you’ve got a hell of an EP.

  4. Catherine Wheel - Wishville

    I wish this was a better album, and that it was in better shape (it may be the worst condition record I’ve ever bought used).
