Attack Of The Grey Lantern was a much under rated album. I had it in heavy rotation when I was at college/university, and managed to see them live a couple of times around the same time.

The arrangement on "The Chad Who Loved Me" is still a beautiful piece of music with the strings, the subtle acoustic guitar dropping in and then the lead electric guitar echo'ing the melody of the strings.

"Wide Open Space" is - for me at least - still one of the standout tracks of the 90s/BritPop era. To the point where it became massive across genres. As well as being a great indie guitar anthem, DJ Paul Oakenfold created the "Perfecto" remix of it which was massive in clubs at the time, especially Cream when he was resident there.

Wide open space is excellent but I've heard it a lot. One of my favourites off the first record is mansuns only love song. There's a lot of good syths used on that album. Also Chad was a fantastic guitarist for the band. They could have done so much more if they hadn't imploded. The fourth album was going back to the style of the first. Such a shame.
