 The Wedding Present - Take Fountain (Manifesto) - Drawer B Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In its homeland across the pond, however, The Wedding Present rode an impressive post-Smiths wave of single sales and courted a devoted audience thanks to David Gedge's oddly eccentric vocal style, lightning fast rhythm guitars, and the undying support of Radio 1 DJ, John Peel.
The result left most Wedding Present fans yearning for Gedge's edge and growling yelp to return, but his charmingly conversational wordplay kept naysayers at bay, especially as Cinerema slowly turned up the guitars on each album, peaking in 2002 for the Steve Albini-produced Torino.
Take Fountain doesn't sound like The Wedding Present so much as a slightly harder-edged Cinerama, but Gedge's lovelorn wordplay is in top form, as he recounts his painful break-up, play by play.

 Manifesto Records :: The Wedding Present   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
With their independent releases, THE WEDDING PRESENT acquired a reputation for bittersweet, breathtakingly real love songs immersed in whirlwind guitars, so it was quite extraordinary that Ukrainski Vistupi v Johna Peela, with the band exploring traditional Eastern European folk music, should be their major label debut on RCA.

It was at this point, in 1997, that Gedge called a temporary halt to THE WEDDING PRESENT and started work on a solo project that would eventually see the light of day under the banner
