1126.0. "SUNSCREEM" by GRANMA::FDEADY (that's as green as it gets..) Sun Mar 21 1993 18:08

    
    	Has anyone heard of Sunscreem. They have a rather unique look, but a
    familiar sound. Who is the band comprised of? What recordings are out?

    Made a minor dent on the UK charts with a cover of Marianne Faithfull's
    Broken English back in January.

    Sunscreem is a band from the UK. Never seen a video of them but I saw them
    live about 2 years ago. They play electronic dance music with thin vocals.
    As a reviewer of their last double-vinyl wrote: "The more the vocals are
    suppressed on the remixes, the better the music gets". The lead singer is
    a (very friendly by the way) skinny lady. If you want I can look up some
    names of producers etc off the sleeves tonight.

    I'd say check out that double 12"/LP whatever. It features 13 tracks, and
    is called "O3". All of their best tracks are on there, like "Love you
    more", "Pressure", "Perfect Motion", and some more gems like "Portal" and
    "B". Some even in multiple versions. All atmospheric and all tracks are
    connected (not mixed) so that it's a flowing piece of music on every side
    of the discs.

    Recommended!
