The Clean's first full-length record, Vehicle,
falls into that bracket. Released in 1990, it is one of the catchiest,
most insistent pop records from the Flying Nun discography. Melody Maker
at the time described it as "so joyous, so completely unaffected and
unpretentious its absurd." And that pretty much sums it up.
Recorded in London's Black Wing Studios, following the New Zealand trios reunion tour in the late 1980s, Vehicle is The
Clean at their brilliant best. Right from the opening "Drawing To A
Whole" to the beautiful "Diamond Shine," these 13 tracks show a band
coming back together in a celebration of noise.
The purpose of this blog is to expose you to the unique and unrepeatable New Zealand scene known as "Dunedin Sound" that emerged in New Zealand in the early eighties. This space takes over from wonderful blogs that in their time served to make known to the world some of the most significant bands and records of that period. The present collection is dedicated to all those kiwi bands -many of them already forgotten- who, without knowing it, wrote a very important page in the history of music.

This was a fascinating read about The Clean – Vehicle (1990) and its impact on the music scene. It is always interesting to see how certain albums shape a genre and influence future artists. Just like classic records hold value for music lovers, old cars still have worth too. Services like Best Cash For Cars Adelaide help people turn unwanted vehicles into instant cash, making it easier to clear up space while benefiting from it. Looking forward to more posts like this!
ResponderEliminarGreat write-up on The Clean - Vehicle (1990)! This album truly captures the essence of the Dunedin Sound, and it’s always refreshing to revisit such timeless music. By the way, if anyone in Brisbane is looking to clear out an old vehicle, I recently found a hassle-free service.
