And not just torture devices - specifically, medieval torture devices with feminine-sounding names. Of course, that's pretty much where the similarities end - stylistically, VERY different bands. Still, I can't help but think that Rob wanted to pay homage to his cousin with the name of the band.

Same here. I saw an interview where he said that he hadn't touched his guitar in years, and that depressed me. Still, I can't be angry at the guy; he's living his best life, and seems happy with his career. Who am I to begrudge him that, especially given the legacy of the amazing music he and the rest of CW created? I can only be... grateful. The only thing I'd ask of him is perhaps to put his imprimatur on a proper box set collection of remastered non-album tracks - all those masterful b-sides just begging to be compiled. He could let others do that work for him - I know a guy or two who could. Just authorize the thing. And perhaps a live album? From all the live tracks they released as b-sides, they surely have more than enough in the vault for a properly edited and mastered live album that can rescue us from these bootlegs. If I can' t see CW live, at least give me this.

There is pain, sorrow, loss, triumph, love and the most hauntingly beautiful marriage of guitar and vocals I have ever had the privilege of hearing in this lifetime.

Nah, it's a fine album. Catherine Wheel were incapable of making a bad album. It's just that it's not the instant classic that Chrome or Ferment were. The bonus live CD that came with many copies was outstanding. The live versions of Intravenous and Ma Solituda alone redeemed any shortcomings in the actual Wishville studio album.

this band is so incredible, i only got into shoegaze after that whole "revival" trend in 2014/5. i listened to a bunch of bands like nothing, whirr etc. but there's something about this band i just can't get over. discovering the earlier roots of this genre has been sick. so far i have only listened to ferment but i;m excited to hear the rest of their discography :)

I go against every Catherine Wheel fan I have ever known and say that my favorite is Wishville, than Adam And Eve, than Chrome, than Ferment and finally Happy Days.

I knew it was an ancient/medieval torture device. I figured the band's name was kind of a joke. Rob Dickinson's cousin is Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer/songwriter for Iron Maiden. So Iron Maiden - a medieval torture device with a feminine-sounding name. So his cousin starts a band similarly named after a medieval torture device with a feminine-sounding name. My understanding is that Bruce did help Rob and the boys get into the business, even though as bands go, beyond the similar names and having a family connection, the two bands don't really have anything to do with each other. Very, very different styles of rock music here!

There is a Catherine Wheel group here for discussion related to the band. It was transferred over from a long running yahoo group. https://texture.groups.io/g/main/topics

Лучшее сочетание грубого американского альтернативного рока и шугейза, которое только можно услышать )

Не надо шутить с Catherine Wheel, блядь. Здесь другие ребята. Это не Nirvana, это не Sabaton. Паша, твоих подсосов здесь порвут на части. Это 138 тысяч отборных фанатов Роба Дикинсона блядь! Они всё разнесут! Они всю пустыню пройдут за один час! Они взорвут все твои эсминцы, всех твоих журналистов, дипломатов. Паша, ты — ковбой. Ты остановись, блядь, ты кончай, ты шутки спрячь подальше в паблик свой. И забудь про своего Джиру. У нас был один мудак, отомстил за Ким Гордон, блядь — и распались Sonic Youth. И другой чудак был, за Бродрика отомстил — и рухнул Godflesh. И ты повторишь ту же ошибку. Ты Джиру забудь, Джира твой отработал своё, блядь. Ты подумай о будущем Ласт.фм: он гибнет! Молодежь бежит с сайта. Там никто не хочет сидеть, на Ласт.фм, никто! У тебя барахолка, блядь! Бурзум, Суонз, Санн 0)))! Это… энтрилевел мукор, блядь! Ты, Паша, сраный ковбой, блядь!

Кстати, если тебе зашли Catherine Wheel, то ознакомься с первыми двумя альбомами Swervedriver обязательно, вайб американской альтернативы, в особенности Sonic Youth и Dinosaur Jr. гарантирован, а на первой пластинке и вовсе есть отзвуки постхардкора и математики.

Да кстати, последнее время замечаю, что стал всё больше и больше любить второй альбом - просто невероятный, неповторимый саунд, Джил Нортон проделал поистине фантастическую работу. Да и песни там одна другой краше, ну и как вишенка на торте - безумно красивая Fripp.

Ага, я и сам этот альбом на телефон залил ) Интересно, не посвященна ли "Fripp" Роберту Фриппу ? Даже гитарные гармонии напоминают некоторые мелодии King Crimson.

Can I be your future pest? 'Cause if that is what you need, a sycophantic boy like me - who’ll tell you things you really don’t need.

I never heard of them until long after their breakup, but I'm glad we have them.
