I still remember the feeling when this jumped out of my speakers for first time. Chills.

I listened to this when I was 13- just found it 30 years later and I can just picture walking through Reading town centre with my Walkman on and this being rewound to death.

[Phantasm]

Special song, and this is a gorgeous live performance. I hope they are all friends again.

Just saw them live for the first time in Boston and they played all of 'Nowhere' front to back plus encore. "Dreams Burn Down" was definitely one of the highlights, maybe the best song in the entire set -- could not believe how loud those noise breakdowns got. I knew they were a great guitar band but I did not give Andy Bell enough credit for just how good he really is until I got to see him play in-person. Extreme technical proficiency but such a sense for letting those around him have the spotlight and being more of a songwriter's guitarist when the moment calls for it. He is truly one of the best guitarists of the 90s. Mark Gardener's guitar parts were a clinic in textured complimenting of a lead player. Loz's drumming was stellar. The vocal harmonies were ethereal. I feel very lucky to have gotten to see them, and to boot they had good onstage banter -- they definitely seem like they are really getting a kick out of being a band again.

I saw them at Exeter Uni during the Going Blind again tour. I was stood next to a wall of speakers. Wowsers. Making Judy Smile made the girl I was with burst into tears. Happy days. Kudos to the drummer. Superb.

[blindrider]

One of my fav bands, Nowhere is an amazing LP.

[weethewriter]

KEXP is life! Thank you for featuring all the great bands!

[bufordathens]

They took the guitar methods of Television Marquee Moon and made it even better. I loved Ride from first listen to this album. They just blew me away with warmth and technique. They played so fast yet was an elegant trip into romance such as this masterpiece performance. I was listening to the extended remaster of this collection last night, and had turned up the bass to listen to things in the rhythm section I may have missed, and yeah I had missed the Spooky Tooth drum sound, Ride has this and the guy is amazing. Dreams Burn Down is one of their best songs. Thank you for posting this KEXP live in the studio session. Amazing!
