Title: Prog brit-pop!
Product review: I have fond memories of seeing Levitation, Slowdive, and Blur (on the same bill!)at the Marquee Club in New York in 1991, during the height of the shoegaze movement. I had Coterie on cassette then and was captivated by the track 'Firefly'. The cassette is long gone so I got my hands on the out of print CD recently to re-live those long past days...and was disappointed. 'Firefly' is still a great track, just as good as 'There's No Other Way', 'Sweetness and Light', or any other standout British tune of the period. But the rest is overlong, wanky self indulgence that has more in common with leaden prog rock than shoegaze. The exception is 'It's Time', a dissonant beaut, but the only real reason to own this is for one track, 'Firefly'.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
