White Noise Revisited review The Boo Radleys were never comfortable fitting into any of the easily defined categories that pigeonholed so many British bands in the early 1990s. Arriving on the scene as shoegazing My Bloody Valentine wannabes, they signed to Alan McGee's hip-to-the-times Creation Records, and after a pair of unremarkable albums, they surprised everyone by releasing GIANT STEPS in early '93. Living up to its title, the album is indeed a step above and away both from what their peers were doing and what was expected of the band themselves. A reference to John Coltrane's second album, the album is a mishmashof varying influences, from the Smiths-y jangle of "Wish I Was Skinny" to the lovely brass arrangement in "Lazarus". The album anticipates the Britpop of a year or two later, whenthe Boo Radleys would again intentionally challenge their audience and fly in the face of overt commercialism. read more
