The House Of Love - The German Album

The German Album sees the band’s singles collected together with their respective B-sides. It’s clear to see from songs such as Shine On, which features a virtuoso performance from guitarist Terry Bickers, On The Hill and the sumptuous Destroy The Heart, why, at one stage, it seemed as if The House Of Love would fulfil their undoubted potential and deliver on the plaudits heaped upon by them by an army of salivating music hacks. Here Chadwick found a sound to match his epic vision and probably sowed the seeds for what later became known as “shoegaze” to boot.
