More Undi's area of expertise.

I like that one but wouldn't add it to the library - a touch generic I think.

oooh now you are talking

I will have to come back when I have a few minutes to listen to that song.

Shoe gaze as it was called all those years ago was quite short lived but it would seem to be fairly influential. There are quite a lot of acts making that kind of noise now

I played Loveless by MBV a lot when I had it first but don't know much about it all.If you include them in it,I like the Cocteau Twins.Probably a Lis Fraser thing :)

Heaven or Las Vegas is a cracking album - must look out the tape (!) when I remember, then find something to play it on...

I like that tune BTW - a bit Cure-y but hopefully without that band's laissez-faire attitude to the application of lipstick

I know I don't sound cool saying this but I'm not keen on Loveless, It doesn't make any sense. Soon and Only Shallow are ok but the rest is a bit noisey even for me.

Other great songs in genre

Pearl - Chapterhouse
Sweetness & Light - Lush
Tugboat - Galaxie 500
Svefn-g-englar - Sigur Ros
Holes - Mercury Rev
Souvlaki - Slowdive

Never been a fan of Cocteau Twins, a little too girly vocally for me

McGee didn't think much of it either.
Souvlaki,I know and I'll check out the others.

I've been through the list and I must say I'm not really convinced I like the genre really, just some songs.

I live off the 90's for my monthly club night, I think it was a few years ago still. 1990 was nearly 30 years ago now :o

Oh I love Wooden Shjips, I think they are psych rock

Try Moon Duo, a memeber from WS is in them.

Creepin

Can't go a lot wrong with Spiritualized J Spaceman's previous band Spacemen 3
