{"product_id":"a-r-kane-complete-singles-collection","title":"A.R.Kane - Complete Singles Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis long-overdue A.R.Kane compilation with 33 tracks (2 CDs) showcases their best work in the late 80s \/ early 90s era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt is tempting to describe A.R.Kane as the great lost group of the 1980s. \"Great\" is spot-on. And \"1980s\" is more or less accurate (they did release some stuff in the nineties but the late eighties was A.R.Kane's recording prime). No, it's the \"lost\" bit that is misleading. It gives the impression that this was a group that was neglected, overlooked... if not utterly unknown, then certainly marginal in the scheme of things. And that is inaccurate. I\u003cspan id=\"more_39133\"\u003enaccurate. Not only were A.R.Kane renowned and revered, but, in certain quarters, they were regarded and written up as one of the central groups of their era. The singles and albums received rave reviews (and when I say \"rave\" I mean frothing at the mouth, purple-prose-drooling paeans). Their faces appeared on the front covers of the British music weekly papers. But A.R.Kane weren't just critics' faves either. 69, their debut album, topped the independent charts in the summer of 1988.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStill, the \"lost\" bit of \"great lost group of the 1980s\" does apply, in so far as A.R.Kane are now the stuff of cult memory. As often happens, the passing of the years resulted in history shaking out and settling into a shape that doesn't necessarily reflect how things were seen at the time. Some late eighties groups (My Bloody Valentine, Pixies) have maintained a high profile, while others, considered their contemporary equals, have faded into the background (A.R.Kane, Throwing Muses). Hopefully, this long-overdue collection of A.R.Kane's EPs and singles, which has arrived - funny coincidence - the same year as MBV's own EP compilation, will serve to redress this injustice.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc: 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1    When You're Sad\u003cbr\u003e2    Haunting\u003cbr\u003e3    When You're Sad (long version)\u003cbr\u003e4    Lollita\u003cbr\u003e5    Sado-masochism Is A Must\u003cbr\u003e6    Butterfly Collector\u003cbr\u003e7    Anitina (The First Time I See She Dance)\u003cbr\u003e8    Anitina (The First Time I See She Dance) (Re-Mix)\u003cbr\u003e9    Baby Milk Snatcher\u003cbr\u003e10    W.O.G.S.\u003cbr\u003e11    One Way Mirror\u003cbr\u003e12    Up\u003cbr\u003e13    Green Hazed Daze\u003cbr\u003e14    Sperm Travels Like Juggernaut\u003cbr\u003e15    Is This Is?\u003cbr\u003e16    Is This Dub?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc: 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1    Pop (long version)\u003cbr\u003e2    What's All This Then\u003cbr\u003e3    Snow Joke\u003cbr\u003e4    Pop (short version)\u003cbr\u003e5    Crack Up (Album Mix)\u003cbr\u003e6    Crack Up (Rythm Mix)\u003cbr\u003e7    A Love From Outer Space (solar equinox mix)\u003cbr\u003e8    A Love From Outer Space (lunar eclipse mix)\u003cbr\u003e9    Sugarwings\u003cbr\u003e10    A Love From Outer Space (venusian dub)\u003cbr\u003e11    A Love From Outer Space (Album Version)\u003cbr\u003e12    Sea Like a Child\u003cbr\u003e13    Sea Like a Child (in the sky)\u003cbr\u003e14    Water\u003cbr\u003e15    Sea Like a Child (underwater) (radio mix)\u003cbr\u003e16    Honey Be (For Stella) (Album version)\u003cbr\u003e17    Honey Be (For Stella) (Club Mix)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OLI Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":48381223076073,"sku":"TPLP1160CD","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7984\/3305\/files\/TPLP1160DL-scaled.jpg?v=1748987002","url":"https:\/\/shop.bjork.com\/products\/a-r-kane-complete-singles-collection","provider":"OLI Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
