Various Artists- Southeast Of Saturn (Various Artists)
Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release from Third Man Records, a collection of music from Detroit's space-rock/shoegaze/dream pop scene of the '90s. The music of Southeast Of Saturn did not arise organically from metro Detroit's fertile soil. Locally, garage-rock, goth-rock, neo-hippie groups, and the usual preponderance of adequate bar bands dominated the landscape. Thirsty Forest Animals guitarist Andrew Peters summarizes the prevalent attitude among the Motor City's space-rock contingent: "I don't think we really noticed the local Detroit scene earlier on. We were more into the bands you would see in the NME / Melody Maker, zines, and records - mostly from the UK - on the walls at Play It Again". If anything was a major factor locally, it was Play It Again, the independent record store in the suburbs of Detroit that nurtured the scene with it's amazing curation of imports and killer used records picked up on owner Alan Kovan's British record buying trips.
