English alt-dance band 'Saint Etienne' were influential in introducing dance music to the young indie rock crowd in the early 90's. Their best early example of it was their cover of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" from their debut album 'Foxbase Alpha.' They complete remade the Neil Young classic to the extent that, to some people, it was unrecognisable. On Foxbase Alpha Sarah Cracknell wasn't yet established as a full time member and she shared the vocals with other female vocalist.... and now a lot of people assume it is her on the vocals of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" but it is actually Moira Lambert, who somehow fell under the radar thereafter. But not a bad song to be remembered for.
