At Their Very Best

Clean, echoing guitar melodies re-recorded with 1980s studio polish. A shimmering, nostalgic collection of the definitive British instrumental rock sound.

1989 · Polydor

A polished, reverent celebration of melodic guitar pop that feels both timeless and distinctly late-century.

Moments Worth Listening For

The iconic opening muted-string gallop of Apache rendered with 1980s studio precision.

The lush, cinematic swell of the strings and guitar interplay during Cavatina.

The crisp, percussive snap of the rhythm guitar on Foot Tapper that drives the melody forward.
