Ocean Colour Scene is the 1992 debut album by the British rock group Ocean Colour Scene. [7] It was released during the early Britpop era with far less critical interest than their highly successful second album Moseley Shoals . Ocean Colour Scene themselves largely ignore this album, feeling that the band's and label's conflicting musical views led to a 'watered-down' debut which lacked the edge of the band's live popularity.[ citation needed ]
