      I hear that. I spent most of 91/92 tripping & e'ing my balls off listening to these, MBV, Spacemen 3 & Primal Scream. Are those mad summer nights going to all night outdoor raves, everyone just livin ine another, & to think i was doing & passed my A levels during this crazy time😂😄

    Douglas Hart directed this, paper plates on fishing wire, hung over black drapes, was how the big dots were created, edted on low band umatic with color cranked to max levels. Think we shot it on 16mm but could have just been video. Edit would not be allowed now with all those flash frames. Oh I know all this as I ran the production company Momentum with friends Angi and Douglas too.

      I really like the video, it captures a moment in time perfectly. It's a shame there's not a better quality version available on TH-cam; hopefully, the current copyright holder will do the song, and the video, justice by uploading a copy from the archive. This wobbly encoding needs an update.

      Felt were an absolutely stonking band, it has to be said - I don't know the history, although I do know they originally released with Cherry Red label (I think). But they were on a Creation Records compilation double cassette I had, so they moved over to Creation, or did Cherry Red merge with Creation, really not sure. Anyway, they were on Creation too, eventually lol. Oh shut up, shut up lol! Simply: Felt were a great band. Nuff said lol.

    This tune is so of it's time, it is unreal. It reminds me very much of the best of University days, the clubbing, buying records only when I could afford them, etc. The shoegazing scene would have been less complete without them.

    You are part of the sky, fly away, away, awa
    Don't you need to feel the ground you cannot see?
    Everywhere in everything is something new to know, to feel
    Every part of the sky, beneath, there's angels at your feet
    And my eyes can't fail my mind
    Flying away
    You are waves on the sea, crashing down and down on me
    Don't you need to reach the sky you cannot feel?
    Sometimes when, you never smile, you always notice what you feel
    Every wave on the sea, I couldn't drown you should I please

    I never thought I'd see the day when I'd have the opportunity to watch a Telescopes video, so thank you. I loved their Creation EP's, and I still mention the group to friends in the hopes that it will, in some way, begin to compensate for the relative lack of attention the band received back in '91.

    Also Pink Floyd and Elastica elements.

      The Telescopes' 2nd album is the most accessible, in my opinion. The song you just listened to here appeared on that record. The album and EPs from 1990 to 1991 captures a moment in time, perfectly.

    I mostly agree with you, but didn't this band predate Elastica? Plus, I generally hesitate using Elastica as a comparison band due to their overly-obvious raiding of other band's material. Anyway, that's merely semantics. If you want to her some great present day psychedelic rock, I recommend looking up the bands Black Moth Super Rainbow and Airiel. Both are very different but I think they carry the flag well and you may enjoy them. Cheers!
