A friend of mine told me about them, i'm gonna check it out. I think I've heard 1 or 2 tracks and it sounded really good. And the not understanding why they aren't big... same applies with Working For A Nuclear Free City in my opinion.

Anyway, a suggestion of my own... I actually kind of forgot about it, but Guitar's "Sunkissed" album has a definite shoegaze feel to it. It's not brilliant and you might not like her voice, but I think the songs are pretty good. In any case, the track Sunkissed (which I heard on Dirtyradio some years back) is amazing. "Feel Flows Free" and "How So Bright Of Universe" are pretty sweet as well.

Re: Shoegaze
I <3 shoegaze, enormously. There's something about the hazy, whirling sounds that really do it for (to) me.

Many of the recommendations in this thread are ace, and I've got a few bands not listed here that are can't-miss acts. But I'll just list CDs and for the harder to find ones, some links to songs to see if you wanna track down the CD or not:

Lush - Gala
Lush - Spooky
Lush - Split
Ulrich Schnauss - his whole body of work

Airiel - The Battle Of Sealand




Love Spirals Downwards - Ardor
http://www.imeem.com/people/IhvHhO/m...ression-glass/



Serena Maneesh - Serena Maneesh
http://lala.com/z7Br

Catherine Wheel - Ferment


Love Spirals Downwards and Serena Maneesh have been big in my rotation lately. The former is almost a bit too mellow and new-agey to be considered shoegaze but their guitarist is amazing and the singer is absolutely ethereal, and pretty much all of their tunes are hugely epic sounding. Serena Maneesh is a newer shoegaze band and I love their self-titled album because most of the songs aren't blurry from start to finish but rather, they start off very focused and then nail you with a wall of guitar, to dramatic effect.

Anyways, hope you find something you like, check back in and let us know what you've found!

Re: Shoegaze
BrotherLovesDub/Biznotic will be along im sure, and Professor loves the shoegaze too AFAIK.

Me? i experienced all that first hand when it came out and loved it. All the introspection

Just where is that MBV box set anyway?

Memory is faded.

I loved the album Erotica by The Darling Buds. poppy shoegaze but excellent stuff. You can tell theyve been listening to Loveless

No idea how i forgot about these guys... Chrome is a good one too, but more guitary.

Ferment was crucial to my listening experience back when it came out in 89(?) 90(?)

loved catherine wheel as a kid, going to try and dig out chrome tonight if i an find it, haven't heard that in years.

one band that hasn't been mentioned is adorable, while not of the same quality their 1st 3 eps were brilliant pop shoegazing records

Re: Shoegaze
Everything that Verve did from 1992-1994 is just epic. I wish they'd get their radio sessions released, especially the Peel session from 1992 and the Hit The North session. I have some badly recorded from radio at the time and they dont sound so good. I think theres an unreleased track on there somewhere.
