what you gentle people thinks of this Bob Stanley comp? I love indie-pop, albeit Reynolds it's right when he wrote that the music sometimes lacks 'balls'; i think it was a reaction to too much 'testosterone rock' on '70 and '80 AOR radio, and also a reaction to too grey goth (something to which even Cure and Siouxie, and obviously New Order, reacted when they (re)turned pop). Also the joy of rediscover, through reissues become available, to the pristine beauty of Byrds and Love and third Velvet album. Uhm, i only have the Rough Trade IndiePop comp and a Sarah comp (peaches by Orchids a perennial fave), the Domino reissue of Orange Juice, and waiting to get Italy on Christmas for getting the Domino reissue of Josef K and maybe this comp, of which I ask an opinion about!!

That comp looks great...

I've been really into Sarah Records bands like the Field Mice and the Orchids lately. This stuff definitely has no balls but that's what somehow makes it so great. Too much testosterone and macho posturing in music can get pretty cheesy to me.
