Glaxo Babies - Dreams Interrupted The Bewilderment Years. CD. (Cherry Red - CDMRED291) OK, so we all know the history of the Bristol scene- or do we? Well we know that Massive Attack, Tricky and Portishead were spawned by the Wild Bunch, who in turn came from members of The Pop Group, who also spawned Rip Rig & Panic, Pigbag and Maximum Joy. But did we know that the PG's musical mentors were none other than the Glaxo Babies, whose entire recordings are collected on this CD? Well we do now!! At time of writing, this album collects 15 previously heard tracks plus a host of bonus tunes as yet unconfirmed. Illustrating the talents of a unique and influential band, one of the many who laid the foundations for the funk-punk sound that is now copied by EVERYBODY from Islington to Ibrox, this is a worthwhile investment of your Ayrton Senna.

Glaxo Babies - Porlock Factor. CD. (Cherry Red - CDMRED 322) After only eighteen months together, this group that were born out of the thriving Bristol punk scene in 1979 still managed to have an indie chart hit with their "This Is Your Life" EP, attract much love and respect from John Peel, tour on his legendary road show and be banned by the BBC. A highly influential act with a sense of unfinished business, the nucleus of the original band returned in 1985. These eighteen tracks are the resultive recordings. It's a mixture of melodic psychedelic pop and warped funk that sounds fresher that somehow sounds fresher now than it did in the1980's.
