Echo

Echo is an independent record label that was launched by Chrysalis Group in 1994. Since its inception, Echo has been dedicated to promoting and distributing quality music from a diverse range of artists.

One of the notable achievements of Echo was its distribution partnership with MCA Music Entertainment GmbH in Germany, which began in 1995. This collaboration allowed Echo to reach a wider audience and establish a strong presence in the German music market.

Throughout its history, Echo has released several singles that have garnered attention and acclaim. Some of these include *Melanie Garside - Has And To Do*, *Subcircus - Shelley's On The Telephone*, *Engineers - Home*, *The Stands - When The Night Falls In* (with b-sides *Come Out From In* and *A Long Time Away From*) and *Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Weight Of The World* (with b-sides *Mercy* and *Feel It Now*). These releases showcase the label's commitment to showcasing talented artists across various genres.

Nu-Clear Sounds is the second album by Ash, originally released on 5 October 1998. It was obvious that Ash couldn't continue the way they had begun. Formed over good times as teenagers in Northern Ireland, Tim Wheeler, Mark Hamilton and Rick McMurray had continued to party like they worked a normal 9 to 5 through the releases of a mini-album, Trailer, and their proper debut, 1977. They were close to breakdown - they had to rethink. The answer came in the shape of a fourth member, Charlotte Hatherley, who took some of the strain and vulnerability that is inevitable with a three-piece. This recruit totally changed their sound, making their guitar noise broader and darker. Standouts include the slouch cool of Jesus Says and the Sonic Youth-like burr of Death Trip 21.
