    Girl of Colours if an utterly fantastic tune. You'll never grow tired this song no matter how many times you hear it. Good luck finding it, though.

    The Canadian dream pop band 24 Gone only released this one album and unfortunately disappeared after the release of The Spin in 1990, thankfully defining the band's heavy and embryonic soundscapes sparsely found among modern radio. Their biggest hit was "Trust," a flawless rock melody full of thunderous drums and rolling bass circling Brian McCarrick's heart-wrenching vocals. This individual love song and "Girl of Colours" showcased 24 Gone's rich songwriting craft, suiting a cathartic ring similar to the sounds of Kitchens of Distinction, Moev, and the Chameleons UK. It was appropriate during the early-'90s heyday of Madchester bands (Stone Roses, James, Chapterhouse) because it introduced another wave among the tagged alternative scene. The Spin was too sonically gorgeous, especially with the guitar railing cuts such as "Sea and the Ocean" and the throttling drama of "In and Out of Nowhere." It's far too echoing of what was laid down during the '90s, particularly what came from bands such as INXS, Tears for Fears, and Echo and the Bunnymen. Again, it is really too bad this band made one album because their distinct sound was too enjoyable and perfect to dissolve after a brief musical stint.

    I have heard that 24 Gone are supposed to be releasing a new CD. Strange since this band has been out of the scene for a long time. Their CD's are quite rare right now, but it is cool to still see them making a buzz, with help from Big Sonic Heaven, no doubt.

    Most likely if you are not from Detroit or Vancouver you have never had the Aural pleasure of hearing this band. Detroit thanks its lucky stars that a local radio station (89X) played this on a whim in the early 90s and we've been hooked ever since. a brilliant debut cut short by a record label that fell apart. I've heard rumblings of a reunion if the demand is there. Let it start here!
