When I bought 'Easy to Smile' (Senseless Things) my thing was Neds Atomic Dustbin, Gaye Bykers, Pop Will Eat Itself (of course) and a local band called Scorpio Rising, who were utterly fantastic (they did some EP's and an LP but then things went wrong!). I remember a friend had a Senseless Things t-shirt that just said 'Pop Kid', so I guess that sums up their approach to guitar stuff.
I don't know offhand if I have the other one you mention, but I have a few from Sounds, NME, fanzines etc from around that time (late 80's/early90's). Some good stuff.
I was always into Sonic Youth and The Fall, of course, and I quite liked Butthole Surfers too - almost anything John Peel played, really. Good times for indie.
