	HEAVENLY 100-The Heavenly Recordings Website
		Saint Etienne's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", a slow motion, dubbed up & smoked out cover of a song from Neil Young's seminal 1970 album "After The Goldrush", was the second single to be released on the fledgling Heavenly Records, but, in most ways, was people's first point of contact with the label.
		Saint Etienne's first album, "Foxbase Alpha", was released in October 1991, preceded by a re-issue of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", which was the band's first Top 40 single.
		The album was kicked off with Saint Etienne's first appearance on Top Of The Pops "You're In A Bad Way", mixed as a single by Alan Tarney, a one time Cliff Richard collaborator, into a stylophone led vision of swinging Carnaby Street in the '60's.

	Saint Etienne: Finisterre - PopMatters Music Review
		At its best, Finisterre finds Saint Etienne exploring new moods within their familiar formula of '60s acoustic sounds meet '90s electronica rhythms; at its worst, which is far more often, it clumsily grafts hip-hop and electro-synth on to the group's increasingly shopworn pop hooks.
		Saint Etienne's single biggest problem hasn't changed: Sarah Cracknell, while she has her moments, just isn't a terribly interesting vocalist or lyricist (it's no coincidence that the best thing Saint Etienne ever recorded, "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", doesn't feature her).
		You can hear echoes of Saint Etienne in the music of everyone from Groove Armada to Bent to Lemon Jelly; the problem is, they're all doing better, more interesting work than Cracknell, Stanley and Wiggs have been able to muster in years.

		Saint Etienne member Bob Stanley says the idea for the film arose while the band was working on "Finisterre." Instead of using its video budget to promote a single, the band had a grander vision: to make a feature film.
		The film is interspersed with comments from those whom the band felt had contributed to Saint Etienne's evolution since it debuted in 1990 on the Sony-affiliated Heavenly imprint.
		"Saint Etienne have produced some great records, and we are all sure they will deliver another one for us [in 2004]," he says.

		Not for Saint Etienne the archivist's insistence that nothing new can be any good, and not the archivist's elitism, either.
		That impulse is surely part of what led the band to embrace dance music, the most utopian and communitarian of pop music.
		Lucky because the band's lack of popularity in the States has kept them from touring here, and because it was a terrific -- and terrifically friendly -- show.

	Cerebral Saint Etienne is warm yet detached (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Sarah Cracknell, Saint Etienne's beloved chanteuse, wears the band's music like a runway model draped in Chanel: cool and elegant, with a sense of rhythm that gives her blithe vocals syncopated swing.
		Etienne's stylistic range, thankfully, remained intact beneath the rhythmic roar, shifting from the electro groove of "Action" and "New Thing" and the new-wave synthesizers of "Amateur" to the hip-hop fusion of "Soft Like Me," which matched guest vocalist Wildflower's rapped verses with Cracknell's gliding choruses.
		The second encore included two vintage gems, Saint Etienne's own "Nothing Can Stop Us" and a cover of the Smiths' "Hand in Glove." The songs were well matched: Both examined daily travails and common emotions through a protective lens of glossy pop detachment, yet both hit home with their note-perfect articulation of human desire.

	angels twenty » Saint Etienne - Teenage Winter
		A lot of Saint Etienne’s albums sound like they were conceived as snapshots of life in London, but I think this is the first album where that goal was made explicit.
		Tales From Turnpike House is the sound of a band apparently at a crossroads, though in reality Saint Etienne have been figuring out a new direction for a long while now.
		And yet there’s a comfort in the fact that Saint Etienne have seen fit to devote an entire album to the small dramas and little victories of the less-than-glamorous urban life.

		What makes the London trio Saint Etienne and its new album Finisterre so refreshing is that it will quench a listener's healthy desire for something fresh and diverse, for thoughtful and ambitious pop.
		For years, the music press has called the members of Saint Etienne pop wizards who combine '60s British melodies with the roaring electronic grooves that came out of Manchester and London dance clubs during the '90s.
		The most attractive qualities of Saint Etienne are the dexterously woven layers in each song, a combination of sugar and spice that is catchy enough to send you around the house doing the shimmy, yet gentle enough to sip tea with on a rainy Sunday.

		The band, "Saint Etienne," formed from Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs fascination with sampling.
		A three year hiatus followed while the band members pursued their own projects; Cracknell working on a solo album, "Lipslide," while Wiggs and Stanley were remixing and DJing.
		My first encounter with the band, "Saint Etienne," was the compilation CD, "Tambourine Studios Volume 2." (see AMZ February 1999) I was so taken with their song, "Hit the Brakes," that I requested their next album be sent to me for review.

		For how Saint Etienne subtly smashed the system was by mastering the art of being all things to all people.
		So, when homely souls said the Etienne were quintessentially English, it was easy to agree and say not even The Clash dropped as many London references.
		Then when the rootless internationalists claimed the Etienne as their own, it was only right to second this, pointing to Italian house piano magic and French disko bleeps and beats, Swedish flair and German adventuresomeness.
