Title: Under The Radar
Product review: The Telescopes are a band I missed completely during their first go round as part of the shoegaze pop scene in late 1980's England. It wasn't until the Bomp label in the U.S. issued a compilation album 'As Approved By The Committee', that they caught my attention. Coming so long after that movement had seen its heyday, I could never have imagined being so blown away by something that had slipped beneath my radar years earlier. So when I heard Bomp was reissuing the group's 'Untitled Second' with bonus tracks, I was very excited to hear more. And this record, like the previous one, does not disappoint. Maybe it's a weird kind of nostalgia that makes me appreciate this music now, or maybe there's simply a timeless quality to this kind of British Rock that will always be appealing. Whatever it is, it's music you can put on, and lose yourself in. And that's the best kind.
