Drawing on a background in classical music, they construct intricate chord progressions and dramatic ensembles, remaining a unique unit that continues to showcase musical intelligence that transcends the boundaries of the “Dunedin Sound.”\n\nReleased in 1991 as their fourth studio album, this record was released to a wider audience after the band relocated their base of operations to Slash Records in Los Angeles. Recorded in a Sydney studio, this album is renowned as their masterpiece, featuring the band’s most powerful guitar-pop songs to date, and represents a perfect balance between sophisticated production and raw, early-era energy.\n\nThe 12 tracks flow together like a single narrative, featuring \"READY TO FLY,\" where rich orchestration paints a grand scene; \"GLOOM JUNKY,\" whose fresh, racing energy stirs the soul; and \"WAR IN MY HEAD,\" where sharp riffs collide. The soundscape, woven from intricately crafted melodies and a dynamic ensemble, eloquently speaks to the maturity of New Zealand indie music.\n\nRecently remastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios, this is the long-awaited first release on colored vinyl. More than a quarter-century later, the refined sonic clarity achieved through Abbey Road Studios’ technology breathes new life into these timeless classics in this 2026 reissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Gloom Junky\u003cbr\u003e2.Overdrawn\u003cbr\u003e3.Tremble\u003cbr\u003e4.Such as I\u003cbr\u003e5.Hurricane\u003cbr\u003e6.War In My Head\u003cbr\u003e7.Inside Out\u003cbr\u003e8.See You Tomorrow\u003cbr\u003e9.Hole in the Ground\u003cbr\u003e10.Ready to Fly\u003cbr\u003e11.Moonlight On Snow\u003cbr\u003e12.Hold On\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schoolkids","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52631285137697,"sku":"634457241893","price":255.0,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/634457241893.jpg?v=1777818891","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ro\/products\/634457241893","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
