But long before that, Prefab Sprout released a soulful take on British Pop songwriting, one of these records that stand at the junction of two decades, the synth-filled 1980's and the guitar-driven 1990's. I'd argue that both\u003cstrong\u003e Blur\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSarah Record\u003c\/strong\u003e's acts like, say, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Field Mice\u003c\/strong\u003e are in germs in Prefab Sprout's 1985 \u003cem\u003eSteve\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMcQueen. \u003c\/em\u003eTo start to understand how fresh and ahead of its time this album was, just remember that 1985 was the year neon-lights coded hits like \u003cem\u003eInto The Groove, 19 \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eThere Must Be An Angel\u003c\/em\u003e topped charts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, Prefab Sprout was not the only band offering an alternative to the New Wave \/ High Energy sound that was dominating the charts at the time; I already mentioned on this site the mind-blowing 1983 \u003cstrong\u003eCherry Red\u003c\/strong\u003e compilation, \"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.officepsr.com\/products\/various-the-eyes-of-barbara-steele-the-eternal-vistas-of-love\"\u003ethe eyes of Barbara Steele\u003c\/a\u003e\", and that's not the point I want to make anyway, stating that ONE band carries on its shoulder a whole new era of music. What Prefab Sprout and Cherry Red both illustrate, on the contrary, is the fact that there are some very contradictory streams within what seem like a clearly identified - sonically speaking - and coherent music decade, and that the major evolutions of mainstream music might emerge not only in reaction to the previous mainstream sound, but from a lineage that has always been there, but evolved far from the spotlights. In other words, the 1990's, or what we generally consider the sound of the 1990's was already on the airwaves in the 1980's. Now, your turn to prove me wrong (there's no comment section, sadly). Anyway, check this excellent sunny 1985 minor classic if you don't know it yet!

Most of it was simply uploaded on Myspace, and tragically disappeared forever when Myspace's servers crashed in 2018. At the time of its release, I couldn't care less about this indie sound, synonymous with the Brooklyn hipster type, as, a hipster myself but of another kind, I would only listen to electronic music, fusion jazz, OPN and Lil Wayne... but that's another story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eReading this \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alternativeirishmusicreview.blogspot.com\/2011\/02\/interview-with-james-nee-of-we-are.html\"\u003eJames Nee's interview\u003c\/a\u003e from  2011 was extremely moving as he expressed, as a very young man, his bitterness regarding his small coastal town's lack of cultural policy.

Another indictment against a lack of public engagement in culture and youth whenever you leave Paris or NYC, and, in the same time, a strong example of artistic determination from a Victoria Beach teenager.
