Nice to see all the positive comments, i was in the band and it was a lot of fun being there. A life time away, and yesterday all rolled into one. Thanks RB
I effing love the Telescopes so much, even after 34 yrs! Intrigue hasnt waned and sometimes I wonder if my music taste was stunted but i feel the same way bout Spacemen 3 even now too. Taste is an amazing album. It embodies so much.
this is F**ken outrageous! Brilliant Tune! Please Tell Mother takes the cake for me .... but that's me... Ocean Drive thank you very much... in 3rd place NEVER HURT YOU...
the Mary Chain were and are awesome but nothing like as diverse as The Telescopes who have covered EVERY bit of ground this movement has... noise rock, noise pop, shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, post-rock and noise / drone soundscapes and back again
psychocandy is a worth record, a classic. but they are a soporific band compared to the telescopes, they were just a bunch of poser. at least their band's name is cooler. listen to the 7sharp disaster ep/the precious little ep. the telescopes is one of the best thing happened to the shoegazing, songs like pure sweetest ocean or to the shore are epic, while every shoegazer of this era was just boring/ripping-off their own stuff.

Perfect Needle is one of the best songs ever.

Respect to all you guys who saw, had family in and who recorded The Telescopes. Awesome band back in the day
I cannot believe I overlooked such an awesome band as The Telescopes. I instantly want to hear everything they've ever DONE!
Great Band! ...still keeping their albums as gold, in my discography.
gosh.. nearly 20 years from now..It hurts to much..:) Groovy.. thank's for sharing it
Saw them with 20 others at the Take 2 in the arse end of Sheffield in 89. Bags of fun; thanks for posting.
Thanks and respect to you: the Telescopes were one of my favourite groups in the early 90s.
Blimey .. i actually recorded their first demo on a 4 track none the less... great guys good fun to be around
Keep the FAITH my BROTHERS!!! This is one of the GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME.
it's good to see them...
I saw the Telescopes at Planet X 20 years ago - very underated band. Great being pissed in the crush at the front :)
so good.
such a great band .. "taste" is so awesomely powerful.. and their latter mellow psychedelic stuff was pretty good too.
People think this song is about shootin' up that dogfood, but I read an interview where he said the Perfect Needle is really a perfect act of spite.
remmeber it well good stuff

That was always my interpretation.
the Mary Chain were and are awesome but nothing like as diverse as The Telescopes who have covered EVERY bit of ground this movement has... noise rock, noise pop, shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, post-rock and noise / drone soundscapes and back again
