From the days before they became a definite article, Blue is their finest moment to my ears, a swirling rush of sound, propelled by the kind of gargantuan groove they sadly lacked in later years, Ashcroft's vocals low enough in the mix to evoke the idea that it was recorded in the middle of an almighty storm (fitting for a song from Storm In Heaven). "Let's steal a car and listen to stars" intones Dickie amid the din. Three minutes of sky-scraping confidence and youthful hedonism that has been rarely been bettered.
