Madstock...The Continuing Adventures of Bubblecar Fish, Candy Flip's first and only album, came out on Atlantic in 1991, and it's a pure snapshot of the moment when indie kids and ravers started sharing a dancefloor. The Stoke-on-Trent duo of Danny Spencer on vocals and keyboards and Ric Peet on keyboards came out of the Madchester and baggy scene with an acid house heart and a pop brain.
The track everybody knows is their dreamy, loved-up cover of the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever", which went to No. 3 in the UK in March 1990 and is still how people remember them. It was one of four singles from the record to reach the UK chart. Around it, the album floats on big, sturdy beats and syrupy melodies, all smiley-face psychedelia for the morning after the rave.
