Review by davidpoof Feb 19, 2003
Dubstar formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in Northern England in 1994. I have to say that their music travelled with me all through the nineties, particularly their first album "Disgraceful" and last album "Make It Better'. The musical landscapes these guys made were a thing of beauty, but it was Sarah Blackwood's voice and the depths of Steve Hillier's lyrics that touched me the most.

As an introduction to one of the most sorely missed electronic acts that England has ever produced you should check out the US version of 'Goodbye" which is a compilation of their first two albums.
