[5] Momus moved to Creation from él Records in 1987; from his second album, "Murderers, the Hope of Women" exemplifies the "huge jolt of Punk attitude" he brings to his Serge Gainsbourg-influenced meditations on the darker side of life.

[6] The House of Love "made their debut with a classy calling card in the 'Shine On' single", says Ian Canty at Louder Than War.

After their 1988 first album "they did score some hits with Fontana, (but) the fact that 'Shine On' was their biggest underlines how they never really escaped from the shadow of their early glory" at Creation.

[7] The Jasmine Minks "helped define (Creation)'s early sound" between 1984 and 1989, says Tim Sendra at AllMusic: "jangling, heartfelt, and with Byrds influences on their sleeve"; "Cut Me Deep" was the highlight of a "calmer, more thoughtful" era the band settled into on albums Another Age (1988) and Scratch the Surface (1989).

Despite his "presence on C86 ... what he was doing wasn't defined by any such tag", From his first solo record, "The Word Around Town" was a way station on the way to finding a permanent line-up of his band The Servants, which between 1987 and 1991 included Luke Haines.
