En 1990 sort sur le label anglais 4AD The Comforts Of Madness, premier opus de Pale Saints, formation du génial Ian Masters. Développant un shoegazing en apesanteur ils boxeront dans la même catégorie que Ride, Lush et consorts. Deux LP suivront : In Ribbons en 1992 et Slow Buildings en 1994.

4AD va fêter dignement les 30 ans de ce premier LP en publiant le 17 janvier 2020 une version 2CD et 2LP remastérisée et augmentée de 15 titres incluant des démos inédites ainsi qu’une Peel Session de 1989.
