Peach Union - Audiopeach (1997)

Peach Union began their career as Neuronic and released the euro-pop single "Heaven". The group was comprised of three Brits - singer Lisa Lamb, songwriter Paul Statham and seasoned pop producer Pascal Gabriel. After having years of success producing acts like Bomb The Bass, S'Express, EMF and Jimmy Sommerville, Gabriel formed a group that merged the best aspects of these acts - danceable beats, electronic flourishes and killer hooks. For some reason, after the release of "Heaven", the three decided to rename themselves Peach, and released the much more successful single "On My Own" in the UK. They released a couple more singles, including "From This Moment On" (my fave track), but to lesser success. "On My Own" was released in North America the following year, but under the group name Peach Union, due to the existence of another band in NA already called Peach. The song became a top ten hit in Canada and just squeaked into the Billboard Top 40. The album followed. But strangely no other singles were released in NA and the group disbanded. Lamb continued to record and tour with Hot Lava, her band that made "rock music for kids", while Gabriel and Statham continued to write and produce for the likes of Kylie, Dido and Natalie Imbruglia. The pop sensibilities they applied to those artists are plentiful on this album. Think a much more upbeat St. Etienne - sixties-ish pop with a dance beat. (For more, check out this site.)
