Capturing the band in full flight, it offers a raw counterpoint to the studio record. Louder and unrestrained, demonstrating the energy that drove their rapid ascent during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor this 40th anniversary edition, the original album has been remastered by Henry Rudkins at AIR Studios. It is presented on double black vinyl with updated artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwin brothers Jay Aston and Michael Aston began making music together in 1980, forming their band initially called Slav Arian with guitarist Ian Hudson and a drum machine. Raised in Porthcawl, South Wales, the Astons relocated to London in 1981, where the project evolved into Gene Loves Jezebel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally released in 1986, Discover captures Gene Loves Jezebel at a watershed moment, propelling the band to an international audience. On Discover, their sound fully comes into focus, balancing the darker textures of their early work with a sharper, more melodic edge. Built around driving rhythms, chiming guitars and a more expansive sound, the album captured Gene Loves Jezebel hitting their stride with a sound that travelled further than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt its centre is “Desire (Come and Get It)”, the band’s most recognisable single. A track that distilled their songwriting into something both urgent and accessible, without losing the edge that defined their early work. Around it, the album moves between taut, rhythm driven tracks and more expansive, grandiose moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e“Discover\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA1.
