The resurgence of the Eighties psychedelic scientists The Chemistry Set is due to Music Blogs, tacitly tolerated websites offering illegal downloads of unavailable music.
The Chemistry Set’s lone 1989 album has over ten thousand recent rips, dwarfing actual sales enjoyed upon its released, and softening the Set’s comeback trail.
On a second, much delayed, album, this exquisitely English Toytown acid pop sounds both more robust and more authentic than before, the past remembered for us wholesale, some songs achieving rare combinations of muscle and melody.
Three bonus tracks in Spanish, French and Catalan reward doughty European fans that kept the faith.
