Their music is in a constant, latently violent, state of flux, sometimes overloaded, sometimes taut and splintered: a different kind of tension. For That Petrol Emotion, pop music is certainly not enough…They want to burn, to beat out a music that redefines itself, extends the boundaries.”

The 100 songs on the Yoshimi CD box is an overwhelming amount of content, including the original album, the Fight Test and Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell EPs, b-sides, demos, remixes, radio sessions, live songs and more, much of which has never seen the light of day before. It’s also got lots of new artwork by frontman Wayne Coyne, a booklet with new interviews with the band and producer Dave Fridmann, rare photos and the like.

It’s still a lot of fun. The choice of the word ‘burn’ in Sean O’Hagan’s piece for the NME is a common theme in articles about That Petrol Emotion. Words like ‘incendiary’ and ‘subversive’ were often bandied about, although that key phrase ‘pop music’ is equally if not more important. The Inspiration may be Bulgarian, but “Pesnopoïka” is pure Halo Maud, with a massively groovy rhythm section, layers upon layers of harmonies and a pretty wild/amazing guitar solo that I thought was a penny whistle at first before my ears acclimated. Maud’s voice is as spellbinding as ever — she can sound a little like Bjork at times, in the best possible way — and that really takes this one into the stratosphere. I assume “Pesnopoïka” is destined for the album — the other three songs here are almost literal extensions of it — and have me very excited to hear more.Originally a Northern Irish, London based quintet with an American singer, the band got together following the demise of Top 40 hitmakers and John Peel favourites The Undertones, their name inspired by the title of a song by another Derry outfit, Bam Bam and The Calling. That Petrol Emotion, которые имели на самом деле более скромный успех, чем такие имена, как Smiths и Jesus And Mary Chain. Далекие от свободной провокации и театрального бунта, они платили за четкие и неудобные социально-политические позиции, оставаясь на пороге социального взрыва, которого так и не произошло. Replacements, бешеной энергией ранних James и мелодичным даром таких групп, как R.E.M. и U2, популярность That Petrol Emotion должна была быть огромной. Возможно, они не выдержали ожиданий критиков. Первый альбом Manic Pop Thrill был взрывным и многообещающим, второй - Babble имел более утонченное звучание (но все же творческий, энергичный и амбициозный), но как раз в тот момент, когда от них ожидали большего успеха, они выпустили альбом, который ни к чему не привел. End Of The Millennium Psychosis Blues - великолепный альбом почти по стандартам любой группы, но он был менее спонтанным и неожиданным, чем их предыдущие альбомы, и это, конечно, не был смелый прыжок вперед на неизведанную территорию или, по сути, мейнстрим. Они фактически потеряли свой импульс. Но освободившись от давления группа, казалось, восстановила большую часть своей игривой энергии и пришла в норму с солидным и очень приятным рок-альбомом Chemicrazy. К сожалению, в тот момент это больше уже никого не заботило. Хотя следующее поколение брит-поп-групп начали ссылаться на них как на источник вдохновения, это уже совсем другая история.

After being dropped by Virgin, That Petrol Emotion also parted company with bassist John Marchini (he was replaced by Belfast-born Brendan Kelly) and set up their own record label, Koogat.
