Fire Suites

Sub Sub - Delta Tapes [MEGAP 003CD PRT 1998 FLAC]

Subsequent singles were an awful trip-hop collaboration with Tricky, Smoking Beagles followed by a poppy single featuring New Order's Bernard Sumner on vocals, This Time I'm Not Wrong b/w Firesuite. The single never sold in any volume to gain recognition but was a step towards a new guitar driven sound and a leap away from dance music. Firesuite was an early recording of the Doves standard with the same name.

Allegedly the band had laid down tracks for a second album for Robs Records and these were destroyed in a studio fire. Other sources say the band had decided to abandon the Sub Sub concept completely and reform as Doves with a much more grown up rock sound. The unofficial Delta Tapes album was touted as the unreleased second album but was in fact just a compilation of later singles and b-sides. It was released around Europe through third party labels, finding it's way back to the UK as an import.
