Released in 1989, this record is a vast improvement over their unfocused full length, released the same year (I'm guessing, as there's no date on this LP and sources on the Adrian Borland tribute page also peg 1989 for this one as well). The full length seems a little more indie-flavored, as opposed to the cold sounds on this release, but perhaps I'll reassess it down the line. I also have a 12'' from the same era that fits more with this album, and will post that as soon as I have the chance!

I know these guys, they released a 12 inch called The Factory Hours. Thanks!
One of the best things I've pulled down from here. Thank you!
More where that came from, including that 12'' mentioned above!
J'ai un cd de Pollen qui date de 1990 "Colours and make believe". Il semble que cela soit leur deuxième album. Si cela interesse l'auteur de ce blogg...
Really enjoyed this. Would be more than happy to hear that "unfocused full length."
