Guest ansgaria Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I find Alcest to be a lot more melodic than The Angelic Process, which is just overwhelming with layers of reverb and distortion... but not in a bad way at all Yes, I agree. Angelic Process isn't as dreamy, a bit harder to dive into compared to rest of this thread. Has Jesu been mentioned in this thread yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyvivohzmus&feature=related Broadrick is a pretty slick lad, I really like Silver.

Hautlle Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I've always enjoyed Giardini di Miro, not sure if that is shoegaze or not, but I think it is [youtubehd]xtlW2I5c9ic[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40days Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 My personal take on this style of music is that Loveless, Nowhere and the Slowdive albums literally render everything else worthless. I think I've explored almost every early 90s incarnation of this genre and nothing has come anywhere close to the aforementioned. I'd give Lush and Chapterhouse maybe a B or C rating and the Eternal EP has a wonderful song "Sleep" but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Because they haven't been explicitly mentioned yet... 'Beat' by Bowery Electric... And 'Quique' by Seefeel... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2GWnEc4FEI Edit: Also 'Doppelganger' by Curve These are on the more electronic side of things compared to a lot of bands that identify as Shoegaze.

eugene Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 i think it's been mentioned earlier, and yet, bardo bond's bufo alvarius is a fucking drone psych/shoegaze monster been listening to it all week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest igloos unlmtd Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 'Beat' by Bowery Electric... BE were amazing for a split second then MHTRTC was released.. Also, don't be mistaken.. MBV & Slowdive were good & they made a couple of good albums... But, The Verve - A Storm in Heaven, & Spiritualized 1st 3 albums are right up there with anything by MBV or Slowdive. Spectrum's Soul Kiss Glide Devine could probably be added to that list with a number of other albums if you gave me enough time to think about it...

Goiter Sanchez Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 'Beat' by Bowery Electric... BE were amazing for a split second then MHTRTC was released.. What do Bowery Electric have to do with MHTRTC? The closest moments I can conjure relating to shoegazing in BoC's catalog are the unreleased snippet of 'Wouldn't You Like To Be Free?' and the intro to 'Dayvan Cowboy'; though I understand that they cite some prominent shoegaze acts as an influence to their sound.

Bowery Electric weren't really shoegaze. Yes, they sampled their guitars but so did BoC even on MHTRTC. Both bands came after shoegaze & were more into samplers, hip-hop style beats, & ambient textures. The BEAT album is very similar to BoC... After that Bowery Electric tried going a little more poppy (Freedom Fighter), but it was still downtempo electronic music with female vocals. I like Bowery Electric & remember Beat being released on Kranky. But after I got into BoC, I listened to it less often.

Guest Iain C Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Manhattan Love Suicides - Burnt Out Landscapes Surprisingly good band for nu-gaze. This is their best track imho: This is another good nugaze band, as far as I know they released one EP then vanished but I don't really keep up with indie shit anymore so who knows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
