After yesterday’s foray into indie rave pop with St.Etienne (note: they are playing Cambridge the same weekend as Convenanza, unfortunately), here come the combo who perhaps typify blissed out melodies more than most at the beginning of the nineties. The Beloved were embraced by ravers, maybe as part of a comedown ritual. No one’s going to be freaking out to this track, but it would definitely have an effect in the chill out room, and its obvious manifesto of loveliness took the hippy stuff one stage further than most. Anyway, this, and ‘The Sun Rising’ are the two go to Beloved tracks, and still do the business today and every day.
