Dirty Harry wrote: Best shoegazing albums I've heard this year
Whirr - Sway
Odonis Odonis - Hard Boiled,Soft Boiled
Nothing - Guilty Of Everything
You should also check out the film\documentary that's coming out soon about the whole history of shoegazing called ' Beautiful Noise' its took about 4 years to get it released so it should be good, think there's a trailer for it on you tube
try some of these, some undiscovered classics from the 90's and some newer ones.
Lilys - In The Presence Of Nothing
Drop Nineteens - Mayfield (Never released but it was leaked a few years ago sounds a bit rough but still sounds amazing)
Astrobrite - Crush
Boo Radleys - Everythings Alright Forever (Britpop band who started off as a Shoegazing band and should have stayed that way)
Fleeting Joys - Despondent Transponder
Ringo Deathstarr - Colour Trip
Pinkshinyultrablast - Happy Songs For Happy Zombies EP
Tatuki Seksu - Hanazawa EP (Japanese Shoegaze)
The Shoegazing Thread
The Shoegazing Thread
This seemed important enough to me to start a new one around. I've gotten into it relatively recently and it seems like there's a lot of good suggestions with more to come. I'm consolidating some below partly for my own ease of reference, but I guess you guys can use it too.

Re: The Shoegazing Thread
I'll add Moose
Their excellent early EPs are collected on the "...XYZ" (UK) comp. If anyone has a rip of their "Honey Bee" LP, I'd be grateful.
(Also, drummer Richard Thomas [Dif Juz] & bassist Lincoln Fong were in the touring JAMC, after Douglas Hart & John Moore left...)

Re: The Shoegazing Thread
I'll add some further probably obvious ones:
Chapterhouse: Whirlpool
Catherine Wheel: Ferment
Lush: Spooky
Swervedriver: Raise
The Verve started out in this style, I think A Storm in Heaven is pretty good
I don't know if we want to include dreamier pop stuff, I get a kick out of Julee Cruise and Hooverphonic's Blue Wonder Power Milk.
(As I said, I'm pretty green)

Re: The Shoegazing Thread
Anyone heard Th' Faith Healers? Their Lido album from 1992 might be considered "shoe-gazey".

Highly Biased Observation: Shoegaze bands had the best EPs of any genre in the early 90s.

Re: The Shoegazing Thread
I checked out Th' Faith Healers a few years ago, at a time that I probably wasn't ready for them. I'll have to give them another spin. I go through phases frequently in which I'll hear something, decide it's not for me, but say to myself "eh, I'll probably like that in about 5 years." I'm almost never wrong.biopunk wrote:Anyone heard Th' Faith Healers? Their Lido album from 1992 might be considered "shoe-gazey".

Re: The Shoegazing Thread
Mezcal Head is another great one by Swervedriver, but Raise is a little more "traditional" shoegaze.Dr. Medulla wrote:Cool. Hunting down some Swervedriver (heard of them, never heard them) and Th Faith Healers (never heard of them).

Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "Listen, mate, "life" has surface noise."
