The second of three CD album re-issues by acclaimed Glasgow band The Orchids, who recorded for cult label Sarah between 1987 and 1994. Formed in 1987, this prolific yet overlooked five-piece recorded a string of singles for Sarah as well as three excellent albums, Lyceum (1989), Unholy Soul (1991) and Striving For The Lazy Perfection (1994). Often compared to similarly cerebral pop operators such as Felt, Aztec Camera and Primal Scream, the band split in 1995 at the height of their powers. Almost all of their records were produced by Ian Carmichael of One Dove. Newly remastered for CD, Unholy Soul + Singles runs for 70 minutes and includes nine bonus tracks as well as liner notes by Alistair Fitchett. Stand-out tracks include Dirty Clothing, Bringing You The Love, The Sadness Of Sex Pt 1 and the should-have-been single Peaches. Among the pick of the bonus cuts are the singles Something For The Longing and Bemused, Confused And Bedraggled. Contemporary reviews praised the record as "a beautiful album - time less melodies for sure" (Dave Simpson in Melody Maker). The Orchids reformed last year and new material is expected later in 2005.
