Search - Candyskins :: Space I'm in

Can't go wrong, especially for the price

"if you're into the early 90's Brit-pop scene a la Stone Roses, Charlatan's, James, etc. surely you know the Candyskins. Space I'm In has several good singles on it "Submarine Song", "Freedom Bus" and "She Blew Me Away." Anyone who listed to "alternative" radio back in the day (when it was good and before the label "alternative") surely would have heard some of these songs. I picked it up back then and still listen to it today. Good CD for being able to buy it so cheaply today (~ $.75).

"Fun?" and "Death of a Minor TV Celebrity" are also worthy!"

Ah, the bargain bin

"Honestly, the Amazon bargain bin always houses gems.



Oxford's The Candy Skins, another middle of the road English band (in popularity terms), scored a minor hit with Stateside with "Submarine Song". Its trademark bassline should bring back memories to college radio listeners.



This is a nice little CD that avoids sounding dated. You can pretty much throw pop darts at "Freedom Bus", "She Blew Me Away" and "Get Together" (my favorite) and hit a bullseye with each.



A great way to spend a buck or two. Recommended."
