Tribe - Abort (1991)

The Psych Furs played a concert at University at Buffalo in 1991 and their opening act was Tribe. After hearing them, I went to the campus record store and scooped it right up. Their album, Abort, continues to be one of the few albums that I always want to hear all the way through and can listen to anytime. I love every song. I know every word of every song even though I don't recall trying to remember the words. I have just listened to it so many times, probably the most times of any CD in my collection. On my Pandora account, I have a station named Tribe Radio. Listening to this album reminds me of being a freshman in college, free to do what I want. The campus record store reminded me of home and going to Tower Records in the village. I remember I bought U2's Achtung Baby and The Cure's Wish there when they came out. Those stories are for another day.
