More Detail
1) Levitation (1990-1994) were an innovative English psychedelic mind-punk outfit, fronted by ex-House of Love guitarist Terry Bickers. Levitation’s music and attitude challenged an early Nineties UK alternative music scene dominated by Shoegazing and Madchester. The band were often credited in the music press as attempting to rehabilitate progressive rock. (…)
After an acrimonious departure from the House of Love in 1989, guitarist Terry Bickers teamed up with drummer David Francolini and formed Levitation the following year. Based in London, they quickly found a group of like-minded and established musicians, including Christian Hayes (ex-Ring, Cardiacs, and the Dave Howard Singers), Robert White (ex-Zag and the Coloured Beads), Johnny T (a violinist from the Reggae Philharmonic Orchestra), and Joe Allan (a bassist). The band soon set off to tour France supporting Ride, and Belgium supporting Galaxie 500. (…)
Levitation’s second EP on Ultimate, After Ever, was released in August 1991 to more critical acclaim, and again the band made single of the week in Melody Maker where it was described as “Blessed genius…”. The video for Firefly, the first track on the EP, pictured the band levitating over a golden field. In September, two more tracks - Squirrel and It’s Time were released on 7” via the new Rough Trade mail order singles club. In November a taster compilation album, titled Coterie, was released on Capitol Records in the USA.

I was hoping the HoL guitarist was responsible for the track "More Than Ever People". Different Levitations. I'm disappointed!

Double ditto greenmanpop. I realise none of their tracks are streamable on lastfm but I can't believe they've got so few listeners here. They weren't some garden shed effort, they were big in indie terms, which still meant something back then. They were also fantastic. If they appeared in today's climate they'd probably be massive. Open your ears people.

@GREENMANPOP-totally agree with you there; they may not have been together long,but left behind some brilliant music (Coterie,Need for Not,the "World Around" single..amazing stuff).I saw them at Brighton Zap club in the early 1990s and they blew me away.Dark Star,who came after them (basically Levitation minus Bickers),were also very,very good,but due to record company personnel changes,ended up having their second L.P.("Zurich") shelved,having released a well-received debut,"Twenty Twenty Sound".There's also a connection with The Cardiacs,another amazing band.Dark star: http://www.last.fm/music/Dark%2520Star/Twenty%2520Twenty%2520Sound?ac=Dark%20Star%20twe & The Cardiacs: http://www.last.fm/music/Cardiacs
