That Petrol Emotion: Every Beginning Has a Future - An Anthology 1984 - 1994

Product Information

On the morning of the party, not so much. Remember, 7PM UK time is 11AM my time, so… yeah. Anyhow, we decided to postpone the listening party, but we decided to have a chat nonetheless, and enough people hung around on Zoom that it turned out pretty well. Here it is, if you’d like to give it a listen.

Everybody's Goin' Triple Bad Acid Yeah!"/"Big Decision (Slight Return)" (Clawfist Records - March 1991) (Split single with The Membranes) That Petrol Emotion, которые имели на самом деле более скромный успех, чем такие имена, как Smiths и Jesus And Mary Chain. Далекие от свободной провокации и театрального бунта, они платили за четкие и неудобные социально-политические позиции, оставаясь на пороге социального взрыва, которого так и не произошло.

Some career-spanning retrospective box sets cause you to reassess an artist’s career, some merely reaffirm what you already thought about them. Every Beginning Has A Future: An Anthology 1984-1994 – seven CDs and a booklet; five albums, a live set and enough b-sides, rarities and remixes to satisfy the most die-hard fan – causes the listener to ask questions, or rather one pressing question, over and over again: why weren’t That Petrol Emotion huge? The June 1985 performances on the Peel EP predate the band’s first album; songs include “V2,”“Can’t Stop,”“Lettuce” and “Blind Spot.” The full-length Peel album pairs that session with a second one from later the same year. Recorded in Los Angeles, the nifty but questionable 1988 Live mini-album (seemingly a boot, but openly distributed through legitimate channels) has covers of Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl” and Pere Ubu’s “Non Alignment Pact” alongside five of the band’s own tunes, from the pre- Pop Thrill“V2” to the then-new “Here It Is…Take It!”

That Petrol Emotion's influences encompassed artists as diverse as The Beatles, Afrika Bambaataa, Television, Sly & the Family Stone, Captain Beefheart and Can. Following some initial interest from Creation Records, they released their debut single " Keen" on Pink Records in July 1985. [6] The sound of the new band severed overt musical links with The Undertones due to its darker, more edgy sound: That Petrol Emotion were also far more political and outspoken than The Undertones had been, with the Irish members listing their names in their Irish language forms on the sleeve art and (in their songwriting) beginning to look into issues relating to the Irish Troubles. [6] [7] O'Gorman would later describe the band as having been "like the Undertones after discovering drugs, literature and politics, with a lot more girls in the audience dancing." [3] As with The Undertones, John O'Neill emerged as principal songwriter (although songwriting contributions were made by all group members). The next TPE single of 1987, " Genius Move", was banned from being aired by the BBC due to a reference in the sleeve artwork to Sinn Féin politician Gerry Adams [15] (at the time, a hate figure for the UK establishment due to his suspected links with the IRA, which would lead to his voice being banned from British media between 1988 and 1994). [7] [16] O'Gorman has pointed out "there was no need for any reference to (Adams) 'cos the quote was from Liam Mellows, but I think it had been left to our tour manager to sort out the sleeve and without thinking he included a reference to Adam's book. It will haunt us forever that one. Pretty poor excuse all the same to ban us/the single; pathetic, really; however, no one knew we were banned as they didn't make a fuss a la Frankie Goes To Hollywood, very smart on their part." [3] Perhaps the most extraordinary fact about That Petrol Emotion is no one has seen fit to compile all or some of their works - that is until now. The Pogues fall from grace with government".

After being dropped by Virgin, That Petrol Emotion also parted company with bassist John Marchini (he was replaced by Belfast-born Brendan Kelly) and set up their own record label, Koogat. Kelly's playing pushed That Petrol Emotion towards their heaviest, most riff-laden album to date - Fireproof, released in 1993 - which, like their debut, reached number 1 in the UK Indie Chart. However, despite the generally positive press coverage (and the loyal fan base they had garnered over ten years and five full-length albums), That Petrol Emotion were failing to attain the level of sustained commercial success, or popularity, enjoyed by contemporaries such as My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth. As a result, the band split amicably in 1994. [6] A documentary of That Petrol Emotion's farewell concerts in London and Dublin was released posthumously in 2000 as Final Flame (Fire, Detonation And Sublime Chaos).
