Debut album of brooding, gothic-tinged rock from cult trio THE GOD MACHINE. Rather like a cross between Jane's Addiction, Cathedral and The Cure.
Vinyls and sleeve in excellent condition (there is a small tear along the top of the sleeve, approx. 1.5 cm long - see photo; inner sleeves included).

Editorial reviews Highly Recommended - ...a breathtaking exercise in panoramic paranoia--an unusually mature debut from an unusually disturbed trio....startles and suffocates without limiting itself to traditional buzz-saw guitar rhythms and caustic vocals...
Spin (04/01/1993)
3 Stars - Good - ...a hypnotic combination of Jane's Addiction and a thoughtful metalhead delivery....a tidal wave of power, intensity and uncertainty, producing not so much songs as firestorms of cranked guitar noise...
Q (03/01/1993)
8 - Excellent - ...An album that has you gasping at every turn, `Scenes From The Second Storey' represents a lot of unfashionable ideas and a feat of brilliance. Dare to lose your mind to it...

TERMS OF GRADING:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or unplayed are mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD:The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and the contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
