Continuing on this excellent group's overview, this time focusing on what I considered their mid-period (1996 - 2000). There is a bit of overlap timewise with the previous mix, but this focuses much more on the transition from their early to later styles. They really came into their own, moving away from the hazy, shoegazing 4AD trove of artist during this phase and incorporated a lot of great covers. The explosion of Time Stereo label as their CDr and Cassette imprint of unreleased or associated artist albums was always fun to explore. The site, which is no longer full of pages, had so many things to investigate, from their write ups on the Noise Camp, to artwork from Davin and Warn (I've still got a few numbered prints I was lucky enough to get). And yes, I'm still a proud owner of their handmade Cloud Box.
