Jungle Vinyl & CDs

Review: A very limited number of vinyl copies have been available of this first EP (originally released 1985) by Stevenage goth legends Fields of the Nephilim over the years, so it's a welcome, bumper return as it's been extended to include a spread of companion material, including remixes and demos. Musically, it's rare to blend dark, growled esoteric vocals with bright, Smiths/Cure-esque new wave guitars, but it really works. Retaining relevance since a swathe of new, up-and-coming bands plumb the depths of post-punk and new wave scenes in creating their sounds, the Fields of the Nephilim renaissance has every chance of spreading even further.
