About the album

In 1994, Paul Hartnoll remembers, "you were either an indie kid or you were a raver." Then he and his brother Phil played Glastonbury, and a lot of people who had come for the guitar bands wandered over to see what the fuss was about; in Paul's words, "they came and saw our set and the penny dropped." Phil mostly remembers the energy coming off the crowd.

This is the first official issue of that night, from "Forever" and "Sad But True" through "Impact (The Earth Is Burning)" and the two-part "Are We Here?" to a closing "Chime" that still sounds like a sunrise. Siân Pattenden's notes are a conversation with the brothers about the gig, and Mark Ayres has cleaned it up beautifully. The mud, sadly, could not be included.

All I remember is the energy from the crowd, this love.
Phil Hartnoll
