Microdisney Discography of CDs

Microdisney CD discography Like many bands, who may otherwise have gone unrecognised, they were given a wider audience by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel. They recorded for Kabuki, Rough Trade and Virgin records. Albums included the early compilation We Hate You South African Bastards! (later renamed "Love Your Enemies"), Everybody Is Fantastic and The Clock Comes Down The Stairs. After signing to Virgin they released two albums Crooked Mile and 39 Minutes. Their second single, 1983's `Pink Skinned Man' is a superb indie record, produced by Dave Feeley. They began recording in Cork, producing a muted atmospheric sound. After their initial Peel sessions and meeting with John Porter (also of the Smiths) their sound became more commercial and chart orientated. `Town to Town' (1985) was a fine rock-along sing song but Microdisney's 1987 single `Singer's Hampstead Home' is often described as an attack on Boy George (of Culture Club fame).
