Since the house music explosion of 1987, Britain had had a whistle in its mouth, and it needed a lie down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFebruary 1990 brought two records that were made to accompany the sunrise and would shape the immediate future: The KLF’s \u003cem\u003eChill Out\u003c\/em\u003e was a continuous journey, a woozy, reverb-laden mix; and Andrew Weatherall’s drastic remix of a Primal Scream album track – ‘Loaded’ – slowed down the pace on the dancefloor itself, right down to 98 beats per minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin weeks of ‘Loaded’ and “Chill Out” emerging, a whole wave of similarly chilled, floaty, mid-tempo records appeared. The charts were full of chugging Soul II Soul knock-offs, but further out were amazingly atmospheric records such as the Grid’s ‘Floatation’, which married the new-age relaxation method du jour with Jane Birkin-like breathy sighs; BBG’s ‘Snappiness’, which was all sad synth pads and Eric Satie piano; and the Aloof’s ‘Never Get Out Of The Boat’, which re-imagined Apocalypse Now as if it had been shot in Uxbridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFell From The Sun\u003c\/em\u003e gathers the best of the 98bpm records that soundtracked the summer of 1990. It has been compiled by Bob Stanley, whose own group \u003cstrong\u003eSaint Etienne\u003c\/strong\u003e makes an appearance alongside acknowledged classics (Primal Scream’s ‘Higher Than The Sun’) and forgotten beauties (Soul Family Sensation’s ‘I Don’t Even Know If I Should Call You Baby’).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a modernist sound, grabbing bits of the past, the feel of the immediate now, and creating something entirely new. There was a notable 90s-does-60s vibe, a neo-psychedelia that didn’t involve guitars. For a moment, or at least for a summer, it felt like the perfect future had already arrived. “Fell From The Sun” encapsulates that moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. “HIGHER THAN THE SUN (HIGHER THAN THE ORB) (Extended Mix) - \u003cstrong\u003ePRIMAL SCREAM\u003c\/strong\u003e 2. “IT COULD NOT HAPPEN (Essential Trance Hall Mix) - CRITICAL RHYTHM feat JANGO THRILLER \u0026amp; VANDAL 3. “CASCADES (Hypnotone Mix) - SHEER TAFT 4. “AFRIKA (Love And Laughter Remix) - HISTORY feat Q-TEE 5. “FLOATATION (Original Version) - THE GRID 6. “SPEEDWELL (Radio Edit) - \u003cstrong\u003eSAINT ETIENNE\u003c\/strong\u003e 7. “FALLEN (Album Version) - ONE DOVE 8. “TEMPLE HEAD (Pacific Mix - Airwaves) - TRANSGLOBAL UNDERGROUND9. “JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE (Electro Instrumental Mix) - MASSONIX 10. “U MAKE ME FEEL (Running Water aka Workhouse Mix) - ELSI CURRY 11. “I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF I SHOULD CALL YOU BABY (Marshall Jefferson Symphony Mix) - SOUL FAMILY SENSATION 12. “SNAPPINESS (7” Edit) - BBG 13. “NEVER GET OUT THE BOAT (The Flying Mix) - THE ALOOF 14. “SPIRITUAL HIGH (The Moodfood Megamix) – MOODSWINGS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ace","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50453489680715,"sku":"1155129","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50453490696523,"sku":"1155165","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/907ff7a4-c261-4c38-8f5f-4b03eb5f5359_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727172792","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/bob-stanley-and-pete-wiggs-present-fell-from-the-sun-downtempo-and-after-hours-1990-91","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
