The Dream Academy's claim to fame came in the form of the 1985 hit "Life In A Northern Town". They were poster children for a kind-of neo-psychedelic, anti-punk backlash among arty British types that, in effect, helped found the English school of alternative music that continues till this day (Curve, Blur, Verve, Travis, et al.). The song "Life In A Northern Town" (a paean to Nick Drake) became a touchstone for a generation of starry-eyed college girls and earnest young men. The Dream Academy's second album Remembrance Days is one of the most incredible pop recordings of our time. It is filled with images and feelings that are timeless and is a fine collection of beautifully rendered pop tunes.
