Blow Up 1000 Series  
 



 
  Blow Up 1000 Series - Lucky 15 / Katerine

no.1: lucky 15 'snowflakes' / katerine 'mon coeur balance'
BU008 ltd. 7"

 
 

record collector
"Legendary London club launches singles club in stylish generic space age sleeve shock. Lucky 15 evoke Astrid Gilberto, the Cardigans and the Compact Organisation; and the ghost of Serge Gainsbourg returns in Katerine, a Moog/soundtrack French dream."
06/97



 
  Blow Up 1000 Series - Capri

no.2: capri 'something snaps'
BU010 ltd. 7"

 
 

NME
"An aesthetically fetching representaion of their rare pop beauty."


 
  Blow Up 1000 Series - Komeda

no.3: komeda 'boogie woogie / rock'n'roll'
BU013 ltd. 7"

 
 

music week
"A quirkily offbeat single from the Swedish quartet who supported Beck's recent European tour to rave reviews. Comparisons with St Etienne and Stereolab are close to the mark, as the song stomps along with uncompromising - almost Devo-esque - beat. The single is backed by the jazzier Herbamore. Adulation from NME and Melody Maker, sessions for GLR's Gary Crowley and an endorsement from Sneaker Pimps - the track was included on their Definitive Tour Bus Tape 97 - should soften up the market for their new album."
04/04/98

melody maker
"Imagine the Cramps covering a skiffle version of 'The Stutter Rap', then take that thought down to the opening credits of any episode of 'Ironside' where cute chicks are doing the twist. Yes, it's that good."
