Urusei Yatsura - You Are My Urusei Yatsura - BBC Radio Sessions flac album

So it's coming up for the 20th anniversary of the 'We Are Urusei Yatsura' album, so what better time to look back at the broken Woolworths guitars, damaged eardrums and bleeding knuckles of Glasgow's lo-fi, Tokyo dreaming geek rock quartet? You could say it all began at the Glasgow Sound City event, when legendary BBC DJ John Peel came along to check out Urusei Yatsura at the 13th Note at the invitation of future Franz Ferdinand front-man Alex Kapranos  . This began a long association with John Peel and the BBC, which saw the band record 5 Peel Sessions, 3 Evening Sessions for Steve Lamacq, play live to air for Mark Radcliffe, and appear regularly on Radio Scotland for John Cavanagh and Mark Percival. Digging through old C-90's that had been partly taped over with that week's charts, the band have pieced together a compilation of the best tunes for you, the discerning 90's indie rock aficionado.

Neatly demonstrated on the compilation is Urusei Yatsura's leadership of outsider geek indie, with their name taken from a Japanese manga comic series, references to superpowers in 'Dice Nae Dice' and especially with their sci-fi anthem to the disaffected 'Phasers on Stun'. A rollercoaster of hypnotic guitar shrills and squalling feedback, with notes to I met a girl at the comic convention and their glorious Trekkie video to accompany the single. At just two minutes the song buries itself into your brain then leaves abruptly but lingers in the consciousness for all.
