When you think Creation, chances are the Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream or My Bloody Valentine are the bands that first come to mind, but I would argue the vastly underrated Jasmine Minks should be thought of in that group. If you missed them the first time around, seek out "Where The Traffic Goes," "Cut Me Deep," "Cold Heart," "What's Happening" and "Think!" online right now. After sampling these five songs, you won't be able to resist this compilation. 'Cut Me Deep' was supposed to be out next week, but Amazon is now showing it as a March 10 release. Hey, after 30 years in the making, what's another two weeks?

Whenever I listen to 'Cold Heart' I think to myself: "Now, isn't this the best record in the history of the whole world ever?!"
I might be wrong, as I often am, but it comes very very close indeed!
Whenever I think of Creation I think Boo Radleys...you have me intrigued, I had heard of this band but they totally passed me by. I shall have to investigate...
I'm glad there are others out there that embrace Creation for the "second tier" acts that were on the label. I always thought that as much as Alan McGee enjoyed the fruits of the success of Oasis, JAMC, PScream and mbv, he had a bigger place in his heart for Boo Radleys, Weather Prophets, Felt, Jasmine Minks and the Jazz Butcher.
Yes, the Butcher, too. Still one of my favorite under-appreciated artists, who just put out a fantastic return to form album in 2012 (Last Of The Gentlemen Adventurers).
Hi, fellas. I'm also happy we are talking about the so-called second tier too. Some really interesting acts. It's funny how we have all branched off in different areas. Uncle E, you don't know about Jasmine Minks, but I hardly knew anything about Jazz Butcher (outside of Southern Mark Smith) until you championed JB on your blogs and got me digging. Then there is Echorich filling in the rest of the gaps for all of us. As for you, Dirk, you obviously have impeccable taste. Some day your son will as well. Thanks for stopping by.
