Foxbase Alpha

Foxbase Alpha

<b>Foxbase Alpha</b> is the 1991 debut album by the British group Saint Etienne. A wonderful mix of both modern and retro influences with house music, ambient, samples and 60s pop coexisting easily for a unique sound not found anywhere else. It is best known for their popular cover of Neil Young's <i>Only Love Can Break Your Heart</i>. <b>Foxbase Alpha</b> had such an impact upon its release that it was nominated for the Mercury Prize - eventually losing to Primal Scream's <b>Screamadelica</b>. This early 90s Britpop classic is now available on 180 gram vinyl from Plain Records.
