Space I'm In by The Candy Skins

Space I'm In was the debut album from the Candyskins, an Oxford band that got in early on the city's scene, and it's bright guitar pop with a baggy shuffle in its step. Geffen paid for the recording after A&R man Tom Zutaut signed them, though the first single came out on the Long Beach label.

"Submarine Song" was the hit, and the title track became a favourite on MTV. The band also took a swing at Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth", and its video was directed by Samuel Bayer, whose clip for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" had just gone into heavy rotation. The British press later counted the Candyskins among the first stirrings of Britpop, even if fellow Oxford acts Radiohead and Supergrass went on to far bigger things.
