thousand yard stare were not a shoe gazing band. indie schmindie.

slowdive, ah rachel goswell.

anyway, yes, ride = ace.
saw them live when i was 17 with the verve in support. ace.

Ride & The Charlatans in brighton, great gig.

The Verve (pre urban hymns) were a great band.

Spiritualized Electric mainline, any one.

Slowdive's second and third LPs for me.

Was just about to say this. They were the band that pushed that sound from slightly rubbish indie to where it needed to be. Got me into Robin Guthrie too, his production on Pygmalion is incredible.

I always had a thing for Toni Halliday from Curve... Their guitar player, Debbie (who went on to play in Echobelly), works in my mate's record shop now...

He..he. This thread has made me dig out some of my old Loop and Spacemen vinyls. Just dropped the needle on "Straight to your heart" and the doorbell rings. It's two christians inviting me to a bible class - what better sound track to have while you explain that you're not interested. I'm off to cue up "Vision Stain" - vinyl's such a faff.

Gotta love McGee

Have been listening to walls of feedback, fey vocals and all that nonsense.

So thought it might be time to start a thread for those that appreciate MBV, Chapterhouse etc up to M83 and Ulrich Schnauss.

I will never forget that when I got home after 50/14 died that "Gone forever" was the track that came up on itunes.

YouTube - Ulrich Schnauss - Gone Forever (Runaway 325)

Ah, i started a post rock thread on tricktrack....

one of my favs of all time:
YouTube - Explosions in the Sky - The Death and Birth of Day Jesu Mix

YouTube - Blue skied an' clear - Slowdive

I love shoegaze. I had a hissyfit earlier because my copy of Split by Lush has gone missing.

I want to post a video of True Coming Dream by Pale Saints but it's not on YouTube. meh.

Am waiting for TS to come on here and bemoan how shit MBV were when he played on the same bill as them

UTFS.

Last year L&W and I saw the Swervedriver reunion show with El_Guapo which was freaking awesome. I'm a massive Swervie. Anyone else a Hum fan?

Good work

My shame I even posted on the previous thread

Time for mergatron?

Chris, I used to love Rave Down
YouTube - Swervedriver - Rave Down

Raise is such a brilliant, brilliant album. I missed them when they came through Houston with Hum back in 1995 or so. I thought that I had forever lost the opportunity to see them live and then last year they did a gig at the Garage. Awesome show.

Nice thread!

Feeling my age.

Little known outside the US - Hum did some brilliant stuff.

RIP Chris Acland. Lovely fella.

Argh ... what have you done? I've had to escape to the upper floors to get away from the dirge that Aroogah is wailing about over downstairs ... I thought I left that stuff behind in the very early '90s when I saw Slowdive supporting some band in Oxford.

xx Hope you're getting better fast James :-)

Jericho Tavern?

That's the place - was about '90 or '91. Can't remember who they were supporting, I've probably still got the ticket here!
