However, their earlier work isn't all bad. The Sunny Sundae Smile EP also features Conway on vocals; he sings normally on it (in fact, he sounds like Shields), and its very, very good. The title track, Kiss The Eclipse and Paint A Rainbow are as good as anything from Isn't Anything/Loveless in my opinion.
Then, Conway left, and they made Ecstasy and Wine and so on...

I like This Is Your My Bloody Valentine in that it is a sort of campy almost psychobilly sounding effort. It makes me giggle that they originally did that sort of stuff.
