Wish


Notes:

Released April 1992.

Highest position in the Charts: 1

Original working title was Higher.

The band has just gone in and done these songs whereas before I felt more aware of trying to impose that on everybody, telling them how it should be. With Disintegration, they may've felt quite jolly before they went in, but not afterwards. I think the place we recorded it made a difference, too. It was much bigger and we all felt further apart.

Thanks to Bernard and John at "the farmyard"; to Bob, "sticky" Neville and Terry at "the livehouse"; and to everyone at Fiction...
Special thanks to Suzie, Mark, Jess, Sarah, Sandra, Keith, Richard, Louise, Mandie, Siggy and Willy at "The Manor"; and to Binky...
Extra special thanks to Kate Wilkinson for the viola on "To Wish Impossible Things"; to Bruno (for his strange machine); to Mary, Caroline, Doc, Carol and Eden, and to absent friends; and to Dirk, Shaun "the bottle", and Ted for the control room...
We'd also like to thank all the staff at "The Boat Inn", Shipton, and "The Ovisher", Kidlington

Art by Parched Art

We look before and after, and pine for what is not; our sincerest laughter with some pain is fraught; our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought... - Shelley
