- 69 is the debut album by British band A.R. Kane, released in 1988 on Rough Trade Records and produced by the band with additional co-production from Ray Shulman. Following the release of their acclaimed Lollita and Up Home! EPs, 69 developed the experimental "dream pop" style pioneered by the duo, blending elements of dub, acid rock, jazz, noise, and pop. 69 reached number 1 on the UK Independent Albums Chart and was released to critical praise from the UK music press, garnering it comparisons to the work of disparate artists such as Miles Davis, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Arthur Russell, and Cocteau Twins. Writing for Melody Maker, critic Simon Reynolds described it as "the outstanding record of '88." Music historian Martin C. Strong described the album's sound as "hard to pigeonhole yet seminal nevertheless." The album has been recognized as an influential precursor to genres such as shoegaze, post-rock and trip hop. In a retrospective review, Ned Raggett called it "an unfairly long-lost classic." In 2007, The Guardian included it in their list of "1000 Albums to Hear Before You Die." (en)

- "This is no muso affair; all the songs bar "Sulliday" work as exquisite pop. Instead of hooks, though, there are "slides and slips," swooning cadences signifying pangs or shifts between altered states. I would say that the record is deeply moving−certainly it provokes severe internal bleeding in this boy–except that what AR Kane are about is the immobility of rapture. For them, each spasm of the gaze is a step out of time. They are petrified by beauty." (en)
