Indie Top 20, Volume 13* (TT013CD/CD) (1991)

Not unlucky 13, and a first offering (for me anyway in this comp. series) from The Stone Roses. The dreaded word ethereal describes 'Precious One' by Chapterhouse, and 'Catch The Breeze' by Slowdive. The latter has an awesome 'I'm Not In Love' vocal barrage which comes and goes like waves. The Telescopes show maturity with one of their more subtle arrangements.

- Paul Rance, Peace & Freedom, Vol. 9, No. 1, Summer 1993

* Confusingly listed as 'Issue 13' not 'Volume 13'.
