Splashdown: The Complete Creation Recordings 1990-1992

Recorded
1990-1992
Released

When the Telescopes moved to Creation Records the near anarchic sonic violence that marked their earlier work slightly shifted over time to a gentler psychedelic and dreamy flow across four singles and a self-titled album. Splashdown brings those all together with some extra cuts and a 1991 John Peel session for a comprehensive overview of that change, as the still serrated edges on a single like “Precious Little” turn into more harmonies and sweeter trippiness on “Celeste” and “Everso,” with album cuts like “You Set My Soul” aiming for calm understatement.
