- #StandAloneSingles Ranked N° 24 Flight - A Certain Ratio One of Martin Hannett's finest productions youtu.be/GmcBeQtIBR4?...
- Day 5 of #StandaloneSingles (reverse chronological order) In Mind - Slowdive 5 EP 1993 Lead track from a lesser known EP, released just a few months after Souvlaki and hinted at their change in direction towards Pygmalion another 18 months later. I love the Reload remix even more (remix EP).
- Day 4 of #StandaloneSingles (reverse chronological order) T.C.R. - Prolapse single 1995 (big jump from 2018 as struggled to identify any singles that I’d bought in that period, but lots in the early 90s) One of Prolapse’s many singles, this one in between the first two albums.

- Day 3 of #StandaloneSingles (reverse chronological order) The Room - Purple Heart Parade Lonestar EP 2018 Rumours of an album being recorded for years, we’re still desperately waiting, and have to make do with a couple of brilliant EPs and rare live experiences. The sound of early Verve.
