Ten Mile Bank is the fourth album
from Sunscreem and the first Sunscreem album on Radikal Records.
Based on a DJ set played by band member Bongo Ted at Ten Mile Bank
in Norfolk, it consists of a seamless blend of previously unreleased
tracks together with remixes by dance luminaries such as Matt Darey,
Push, Trouser Enthusiasts, Lee Coombs, Angelic and Chiba.
Sunscreem had some success in 1993 with dancefloor hits Pressure Us
and Love U More. Despite releasing one of the best dance albums of
that decade - Change Or Die, they soon fell from grace. Due to
issues with their record label at the time, their follow-up album
Out Of The Woods was kept out of the stores. However, demand was
still there and fans who kept an eye on their website were treated
to New Dark Times, a solid selection of instrumentals, as well as a
remix album, Looking At You and in 1999, Music For The
Screemillenium, an album's worth of b-sides, remixes and demos
released one mp3 at a time at a fan site.
The group has finally resolved their label issues and the new
official Sunscreem album, Ten Mile Bank, has been released to
critical acclaim. Sunscreem continues to dish out some of the best
music a synthesizer has ever served up. They have always managed to
capture a timeless quality in a musical genre that dates faster than
cheese. There ain't no cheese here.
