Featuring the mega-hit Place Your Hands, the album was recorded in Abbey Road, Real World Studios and LAs legendary Sound City Studios, with producer George Drakoulias at the helm. And its fair to say that Glow was the point where everything that made Reef so great the spirit, the passion, the honesty, the undiluted energy came together. Its the sound of a band who were never short of talent or confidence firing on every single cylinder.

I love every album weve made, but Glow is the one that really encapsulates the band, says Gary Stringer today. Its emotional, its sexy, its passionate, it rocks hard. Its everything Reef should be.

Having burst onto the music scene in 1994, and with their debut album Replenish going Top 10 the following year, Reef were on a fast-track trajectory to international fame. But in true Reef style, there were no agonising songwriting sessions for Glow. It was written entirely on the hoof, wherever and whenever they had their instruments to hand in soundchecks, between shows, in the bands rehearsal space and the trusty blue VW van which carried them from gig to gig. “
