Catatonia - International Velvet (1998)
Another one I've not played in years, decades probably. Forgotten how good they were.
I bought my Kawasaki ZX6-R brand new in 1998, when this came out. I named the bike "Cerys" after the lead singer because she looked gorgeous from certain angles and had a nice rasp to her voice...

Thanks Mike. Sadly not running at the moment, but will get it sorted and MOT'd at some point.
So I ended up going down a rabbit hole last night - I was looking for a CD single on my server, and couldn't find it. Then it dawned on me that although I ripped all my CD albums to HDD around 15 years ago, that I didn't bother with the singles. I don't have that many (c. 200 I would guess) but suffice to say I am now going through and ripping them all, playing a few along the way. I have some where I have 2 or 3 of the same single, as there were different versions with different extra tracks - a good way to get you to buy more than one copy to help with the charts!
Anyway, that's why I ended up playing the Catatonia album as I have 3 of their singles. And why I am now playing this:
Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern (1997)

The All Seeing I - Pickled Eggs and Sherbet (1999)
With cameos by Tony Christie, Phil Oakey and Jarvis Cocker.
Which leads nicely on to another Dean Honer band:
I Monster - Neveroddoreven (2004)
Apparently "all the rage" again after something on TikTok? Who knows, probably my daughter!
