"Perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine"

The late 80s and early 90s saw some fine music coming out of England - Catherine Wheel, Slowdive, Ride, etc., but one of the bands I feel was criminally overlooked in the US was Ian Broudie's Lightning Seeds. 1990's Cloudcuckooland provided one of the best singles of the year and one of the catchiest debuts by any artist of the last 20 years in my opinion. "Pure" is the perfect blend of psychedelic pop with snythpop sensibilities and a touch of folk romanticism thrown in for good measure. Enjoy a classic!
