The Cardiacs - Day is gone (1991) 12" Ep Vinyl-Rip

Cardiacs are an English band formed in 1976. Their broad combination of styles is sometimes referred to as Pronk (progressive punk), although singer Tim Smith prefers the description "Psychedelic" or simply "Pop". Their music is underpinned by Smith's unique singing and songwriting styles, and his poetically cryptic, philosophical and abstract lyrics.
Throughout their long career both fans and critics have always described their sound as entirely unique, varied, complex and often intense.
The music magazine Organ has commented that "one Cardiacs song contains enough ideas for most other band’s entire careers".
The band are also renowned for their profound influence on over three decades of musicians (including the pioneers of the Nu Metal, Avant-Garde Metal and Math Rock genres), manic stage performances and for their strong and enduring cult appeal.
"Day Is Gone" is the sixth single from Cardiacs, taken from the album, Heaven Born and Ever Bright. The other three tracks on the single are exclusive to this release. (from Wikipedia)

Bic Hayes originally recorded the guitar parts. When he was replaced by Jon Poole, much of the guitar was re-recorded, although exactly how much is not clear.

The Leaving Trains - Transportational D. Vices (1989) LP Vinyl-Rip

Guided by magic-man producer Earle Mankey (the Weirdos, Runaways, Concrete Blonde), the Trains recorded two diametrically opposed albums in the late '80s: the short-&-sweet, hard-&-fast punk barrage TRANSPORTATIONAL D. VICES, with guitarist Sam Merrick (Bobbi Brat, the Nymphs); and the languorously obsessive collection of interwoven doom-ridden love songs, SLEEPING UNDERWATER SURVIVORS, recorded with Nymphs guitarist Bobby Belltower during Falling James' 1989-1990 stormy marriage to pre-fame Courtney Love (before everything fell apart, James also produced Hole's debut single).

Ride - Ride (1990) EP Vinyl-Rip

Ride, who took their cue primarily from My Bloody Valentine, was one of most respected bands in existence during a short-lived, yet vital British music movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Dubbed by journalists as "shoegazing" for the musicians' habit of staring at the floor while playing live and "the scene that celebrates itself" because bands sometimes attended other like-minded acts' concerts, these bands musically created sounds at odds with traditional pop, rock, and punk.
Often described as ethereal or otherworldly, the shoegazing sound combined a myriad of distorted guitars, swirling keyboards, percussion, and voices--both human and instrumental--that were often indistinguishable from one another, obscuring individual identity. "We try to make the music the personality and keep ourselves quite anonymous," guitarist/vocalist Andy Bell once commented, as quoted by Gavin Stoker in Rock: The Rough Guide.
When grunge (imported from the United States) and Britpop swept across the United Kingdom, however, most of these shoegazing bands fell apart after they were suddenly ignored by the music media and the public. Ride lasted longer than most, staying intact amid critical derision and disinterested fans. The band released its final album, the highly acclaimed Tarantula, in March of 1996.(from www.musicianguide.com)
This one here is their 1st four-track EP release that provides a good overview of Ride circa 1989 -- while "Chelsea Girl" is a piercing example of Ride's churning trash-rock-cum-shoegazer, "Drive Blind" is a distinct marker on the band's path to some sort of glory (and an inglorious fade, alas.)
The EP was combined with its follow-up Play to form the Smile mini-album for the US market in July, 1990. Two years later, in November, 1992, Smile was released the UK, too, after the both British EPs had gone out of print.
Interesting listening.
