By 1994, they were the quartet of Meriel Barham (vocals \/ guitar), Chris Cooper (drums), Graeme Naysmith (guitar), and Colleen Browne (bassist), who having just left The Heart Throbs replaced founding member Ian Masters who had departed the band to form Spoonfed Hybrid with AC Temple’s Chris Trout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrimed by the brilliant single \"\u003cem\u003eFine Friend\u003c\/em\u003e\" (a song adapted from 1981’s \"Poison in the Airwaves\" by Scottish band Persian Rugs), third album \u003cem\u003eSlow Buildings\u003c\/em\u003e shows the band still venturing forward - this time, keeping the experimentation and guitar fuzz of their early records whilst opening up their songs so Meriel’s vocals could hit new, pop heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs with the 30th-anniversary reissues of their previous two albums, this special pressing sees this long out-of-print record being remastered and expanded to include a wealth of bonus material that’s sure to delight fans. Working with mastering engineer Kevin Vanbergen, this new edition runs over two discs with the album being packaged with the \u003cem\u003eFine Friend\u003c\/em\u003e EP and a great selection of previously unheard tracks and demos as handpicked by the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis special vinyl pressing is being pressed on petrol blue vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve designed by Timothy O’Donnell and Roy Burns III, using the original art photography by Dominic Davies. A record that stands the test of time 30 years on, \u003cem\u003eSlow Buildings\u003c\/em\u003e is well worthy of reappraisal. This reissue is being released in the memory of Graeme Naysmith.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Blue","offer_id":51404187435339,"sku":"R0412-4560","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/click_f668368d-8f67-4cd6-bbd2-471dec8b8049.webp?v=1752231804","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/slow-buildings-30th-anniversary-re-masters-zg","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
