Genre: Pop rock

Places I remember: FOPP, Virgin Megastore (Dubai)

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7

Active compensatory factors: I bought the first album for three pounds from FOPP. I can't remember why. I don't think I'd ever heard the band before. Maybe I took a punt on an Irish pop band. It was certainly worth the three pounds at the time, and I did play it a bit while living in England. 

I took a listen for this blog's entry and it didn't do much for me, as they come close to producing boy band moves at times. They don't sound like U2 at all and maybe the closest comparison is an Irish version of Embrace or Train (but I love Embrace and Train). Unfortunately there aren't any clear standout tracks on the debut.

Their second album is the better of the two in my opinion with quite a few memorable songs - the first three songs are crackers! They certainly mastered the art of producing anthemic/ melodic pop songs. Both albums sold by the truckload at the time.

Where do they all belong? I have no idea what happened after Science & Faith and I'm not that inclined to find out.
