Ha ! Ha ! Just get their compilation : CATCH THE BREEZE



Trace their music from there.
Their 3 albums have been re-released with LOTS of bonus tracks !

Seriously, NOT listening to Slowdive, you are NOT missing anything.

not probably the best shoegazing record, but a great one, indeed.

Seefeel have to be somewhere in this discussion too.

Of the ambient/neo-shoegazer crossover, which I think deserves to be in here somewhere, Boards of Canada and Ulrich Schnauss are both great...

Yeah, Slowdive thought Seefeel nicked their fucking sounds !
Rachel & Nick, they fucked each other & they thought they could fuck Seefeel too.

how 'bout kitchens of distinction.. definitely underrated

I heard a sample of it. Not too shabby.

I voted MBV but for me this "Showgaze" term is utterly crap.

I agree. What are the definitions?

To me, it's sing-songy vocals with flanged and whammy bar guitars played pretty loud. However, that's probably not as easy to say as "shoegaze".
