These guys were an Irish band weren't they? Or am I mistaken?

Half Irish, half English.

I love both albums, for the very reason that they offer something entirely different from one another. They're both influential. You Made Me Realise is also one of my favourite EPs EVER.

It's debatable really, they formed in Dublin in 1984 and their original line-up was all Irish, so there you could argue they are an Irish band. They moved to Holland shortly after before settling in London and changing the line-up, recruiting two English members Bilinda Butcher and Debbie Googe, and becoming associated with the jangle-pop scene and later the shoegazing scene in London. To me they feel more like an English band though, their website domain is even 'co.uk', but it's probably 50:50 really.
