VARIOUS : JUST A TASTE, A Summershine Records Compilation
Various : Just A Taste, A Summershine Records CompilationAustralia's Summershine was one of great labels pop in the early-to-mid 90's, lovingly run by Jason Reynolds and dedicated to releasing classic pop records. They succeeded admirably, putting out single after single of amazing pop and making it look so easy.

The 18 songs on this lovely compilation are drawn from the first 30 or so Summershine releases, and include loads of rarities and unreleased cuts. Almost all the tracks are unavailable elsewhere on CD, making this disc an essential introduction to the varied pleasures of this fine label. It's hard to know where to start: the three Sugargliders songs are rare-as-hen's-teeth and of course brilliant. The Orchids-ish folk-pop of The Rainyard and Tender Engines still sounds great today, up there with all our favorite Sarah releases. The shoegaze drone of Jupiter is pure bliss, and the Ride-style loud-pop of Afterglow and Blindside makes a splendid racket. Autohaze and The Earthmen rock out, too, adding a dose of Dinosaur flavor.
It's a great mix of sounds, and a perfect snapshot of the state of mid-90's pop.
