Saint Etienne broke new ground with their very first single. The trio's 1990 cover of Neil Young's “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” effortlessly wed '60s nostalgia to an acid-house-inspired groove, collapsing past and future into a perfect pop song—and setting the tone for subsequent fusions. “Nothing Can Stop Us” maps bossa nova onto rolling breakbeats, while “Like a Motorway” projects Italo-disco through a dream-pop lens. “Heart Failed (In the Back of a Taxi)” shows the band at their most gloriously atmospheric, wrapping Sarah Cracknell's husky alto in swirling organs and dub delay.
