The Telescopes – The Telescopes (1992) – Little Lost Classics

I've been writing a few words about Stephen Laurie for a long time the musical institution that is Telescopes, and whenever I think about I come to mind Taste or To kill a slow girl walkingthe first stones of the band to hit me. Maybe one day, but not today.

Because this Thursday of infernal heat, at 7 am, while preparing to go out in the scorching sun I decided on the headphones the second and namesake (or #untitled Second) album from the long trajectory of the English telescopes. And then, ladies and gentlemen, the parade took effect.

I don't know if melted by the heat and half a stumble of sleep or if you are experiencing a flashback from decades ago, the first seconds of “Splashdown” I was already completely taken, experiencing clean as an Avalon virgin the same sensations as when I discovered the disc.

At that time lived soaked in psilocybin, and Telescopes It came first as a surprise – unbelievable that it was the same band as “The Perfect Needle” – and then as the perfect company for the time, after all I was no longer the same.

If you do not know the telescopes road, I clarify: go to “Kick the wall”first single from them (from 1988) and then jump to “And”sixth track of this second album. Only 4 years separate, but it is like getting out of Satan's flames straight to St. Peter's clouds. Or what is worth it. Listen and understand.

Without more, I wish you all a good trip!
