The Darling Buds - tiny machine (Blond)

Indie pop songs in 1990, you could expect jingle jangle guitars and a beat that tried to be a bit "funky drummer" to get us all dancing (or a close approximation of such) in the clubs... The Darling Buds' single "tiny machine" is all of these things and a decent song it is too, sweet vocals as you would expect especially in the chorus, a nice melody and plenty of interesting sounds including the tempo dropping at the end. Not hugely memorable but certainly not bad by any means.

For the B-sides of this CD single we have a remix of the title track which is a bit slinky but doesn't add a whole lot to the original to be honest. "Me? Satisfied?" is slow and subdued and a bit spacey with some nice razor guitar. "Sugar city" is a straight forward guitar pop song that passes the time.
