Released in 1992, on Celebrated Records (home to My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and famously Oasis) this is the brainchild of Ed Ball (Television Personalities, Boo Radleys, the Times, etc.). Released almost contemporaneous to My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless", "Star" was similar in feel and effect, but with an even more disturbed ferris wheel of sounds. Celebrated by the music press at the time as a triumph, it picked up where "Loveless" left off, taking it out into some deranged galaxy where linear time and space cease to exist.
