Extract from Planet Sounds music critics Top 30 Singles Of 1997, UK Teletext p484, December 20 1997:- "26: BELLE & SEBASTIAN 3..6..9...Seconds Of Light Swoon! Sigh! B&S arent so much a love affair as an addiction. This, the third EP of 97 from the sensitive Scots combo, included five slices of jangly genius with THE best lyrics of 97. We guarantee youd hate this. Probably." And at Number One...... "1: BELLE & SEBASTIAN Dog On Wheels EP Well, OK, you wont have heard this (or even OF it), but at least we didnt go for Bittersweet Symphony like every other pop hack in Britain! A four-song CD, this starts with a Simon & Garfunkel-esque amble through fields of whimsy, slides into the beautiful State That I Am In, takes in an anorexia-themed String Bean Jean and ends with the jaunty Belle & Sebastian. Trust us, youll know who they are soon." Singles lower in the list include the likes of Pavement, Blur, All Saints, Radiohead, The Verve, Prodigy, Hanson, Backstreet Boys, Helen Love, Spice Girls and the Chemical Brothers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
