\"\"<\/a>Real quick post today, folks, but here’s the second Essence record, released in 1987 via Midnight Music. The band were still a three piece at this point in time, featuring the same lineup as their debut<\/a>, so the sound doesn’t stray too far. I do happen to prefer this record to Purity <\/em>though, by a hair!<\/p>\n

Otherwise, this particular upload contains two bonus tracks plucked from the A Mirage<\/em> 12” (the extended mix and “Lollipop”), as well as “The Happiness” another b-side from the This Cat <\/em>12”. Perhaps the band couldn’t fit these tracks on one LP record, but it’s nice to have them in a cleaner format, for sure! On that note, here’s the information for the record. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
