Historical Archive
The Sound of Speed is a compilation album by the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain, released in 1994. The album features a collection of B-sides and rare tracks, showcasing the band's signature blend of noise pop and alternative rock. It captures the essence of their early sound that combines melodic hooks with feedback-laden guitars, and demonstrates their influence on the shoegaze genre and the broader alternative music scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The album is regarded as a testament to the band's experimental edge and their ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes.
