Native Place, released on Virgin in 1990, turned out to be the parting shot from the English band the Railway Children. Steve Power produced it, and he gives it a bright, glossy sheen, all chiming guitars and choruses built to carry across a room.
"Every Beat of the Heart" went all the way to number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, while the album reached 59 in the UK. They toured it alongside the Heart Throbs, but the ground was shifting under them: EMI bought Virgin Records, and that upheaval was part of the reason the band split soon after the record came out.
