High quality audio. A band highly influenced by the likes of The Chameleons, Kitchens of Distinction blended texture and melody to create a soft dreamy wash of guitar which is clearly imminent in this track.. + Informações

Kitchens of Distinction performing the classic "Blue Pedal" on the John Peel show in 92 i think. I wanted to upload this mainly because its a brilliant song by a brilliant band, and share it around for people who may not have heard it or not even the band. You can buy Kitchens of Distinction albums through amazon.co.uk or on Itunes(well in the uk i think). Also this version of blue pedal has a more atmospheric feel to it :) Enjoy!. + Informações

Wonderful , beautiful and "go to fly"....words that describe the excelent music of this "proto shoegaze guitar band". They were the perfect mix between joy Division, cocteau twins, the bunnymen, the chameleons....and vocalist Patrick Fitzgerald singing in a dramatic Morrissey's way. Ladies and Gentlemen , from the classic indie album (1989) "Love is Hell"....This is "in a cave".............on the moon!!! Will you jump up here next to me? The moon is close and warm and serene And it's mine for you. In this cave I have found just for us Forget your fat it's a pillow soft for my neck In this cave on the moon built for you Just for you because you're perfect O mental patch it swells and shudders All your skin and hair in moonlight With a hole in the roof Where we can watch our planet circle away. Will you touch the cave's cream stone walls? Here I'll hold your tender years And they're mine your youth is mine in this cave. So jump up here onto the closer moon. I'll have the food and downy warmth. Your love will rear a family in this cave on the moon. Where we can watch our planet circle away and come back. In this cave on the moon.. + Informações

The guys in KOD supposedly disliked this version a lot. It's not as anthemic as the album track, but it's still great.. + Informações

Kitchens of Distinction were a band from South London, England. The band formed in 1986, their name pulled from an advert on the side of a lorry spotted by guitarist Julian Swales while on his bike. Kitchens first Bunnymenesque single, recorded in just one day on an eight track in a Kennington basement, earned single of the week in the NME, and the following singles 'Prize' and 'The 3rd Time We Opened The Capsule', released on One Little Indian Records, earned similar levels of praise. The band's big sound belied their size as a threepiece with Patrick Fitzgerald's impassioned, often personal vocals rising and falling over what sounded like a mass of swirling guitars. While not truly part of the shoegazing scene, guitarist Julian Swales' dazzling style of playing drew comparisons to The Chameleons, the Cocteau Twins and AR Kane. Despite a promising the start, and the likelyhood that they would inherit the mantle of bands like The Smiths and Echo and the Bunnymen the band faced a cool reception from the music industry. Even the more indie focused television programmes like SnubTV, and Rapido refused to give them any coverage, although it should be noted that SnubTV played the video for single 'Drive That Fast', likewise John Peel refused the band a session for many years. Too melodic perhaps to be truly indie, and too mature to be truly trendy, One Little Indian brought in Pascal Gabriel to put a commercial spin on the lead tracks on last album 'Cowboys and Aliens' but .... + Informações

Softly softly comes the train into the station. She has often waited and wondered if he'll come. Why was he kept away then, held from coming home now? Was it troubled loyalty or a brand new family? Will he step down onto the platform? Will he stay now or fall again? Softly softly comes the feeling that she loves him Remembering his birthday and sentimental times. Was she really that bad to force him to silence? Were her tears forgotten or was it just that letter of pain? Daddy will you stay this time? Daddy will you walk away? Shower her with your old tears Give to her your lovely lost look. Open now those cold blue eyes. Promise her there'll be no more goodbyes No more surprises. Softly softly feeling as if she is just dreaming. Daddy she has been good you must be here to stay. Slowly the steam is rising, she's shouting as she sees you She's running up to hold you, will your arms be there? Daddy will you stay this time? Daddy will you fall again?. + Informações
