Revolving Paint Dream
The Revolving Paint Dream was not only the most mysterious act on Creation Records’ original roster back in 1984, but also one of the most inventive. After a memorable psychedelia-tinged single, Flowers In The Sky/In The Afternoon, in February, the band disappeared for three years before a strange collection of what seemed like out-takes, OFF TO HEAVEN, reached the shelves in June 1987. '60s-influenced pop sat alongside weird, distorted soundscapes to create an album that lacked any overall identity but was stacked full with ideas. It transpired that the band comprised Primal Scream's second guitarist Andrew Innes, Nico-like vocalist Christine Wanless (also present on several Biff Bang Pow! recordings) and Luke Hayes, with probable involvement from label organizers Alan McGee and Richard Green. January 1989's MOTHER WATCH ME BURN was even more experimental and the listener was hard pushed to believe that it was the same band performing the fragrant pop tune, Sun, Sea, Sand (issued as a single) and the ferocious, almost unlistenable instrumentals.
