The Revolving Paint Dream was an indie group based in London that produced two albums and a pair of singles under Creation Records from 1984 through 1989.
History
Originating in London in 1983, the band was founded by Andrew Innes, who had previously played guitar for Alan McGee's The Laughing Apple and contributed to McGee's project Biff Bang Pow!. The lineup featured Innes's partner Christine Wanless as the vocalist, Ken Popple (also affiliated with Biff Bang Pow!) on drums, and occasional guitar parts by McGee himself. Their initial single, the psychedelic track "Flowers are in the Sky"/"In the Afternoon," marked Creation Records' second release in early 1984. Following a three-year interval, they delivered the mini-LP Off to Heaven in 1987. During this period, Innes became a member of Primal Scream, while Wanless took on duties as a press officer at Creation. By 1989, with Luke Hayes stepping in as the new drummer, they unveiled their debut full-length album, the avant-garde Mother Watch Me Burn, accompanied by the single "Sun, Sea, Sand."
A compilation titled Flowers in the Sky: The Enigma of the Revolving Paint Dream was subsequently issued through the Rev-Ola label.
