yshf Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Never fully understood the Slowdive praise... But I am a big fan of Monster Movie, which is a Slowdive-related project.

modey Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Might have to give the later Talk Talk stuff a listen based on some of the replies here. Yes, you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berk Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 hasn't got much to do with Pygmalion, but this is one of the most beautiful songs with some of the best lyrics ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWhTO-CozO0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm posting these videos in the shoegaze thread (the original vimeo copies were taken down) and the second part mentions Pygmalion being one of the best shoegaze albums ever made and arguably contributed more to the post-shoegaze bedroom ambient and electronic music as well as "nu-gaze" artists like Ulrich Schnauss and M83 than any other album. @9:00 http://youtu.be/Clt-eFmnGLQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tatem Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Always loved Souvlaki, been listening to it for ages, but have never listened to Pygmalion. Just saw this thread and listening to it for the first time now. Loving it so far. First track really gives off some Talk Talk vibes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Yeah, there's a very distinct Talk Talk influence throughout the album. Also SAW2 in a few places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zaphod Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 i should add that despite my statement earlier in the thread that this is the only album of slowdive's that i still listen to, i do actually prefer this song to all of their (and every other shoegaze band's) output: [youtubehd]xwEF51EETQM[/youtubehd] that's as good as it gets folks, i'll take that song over anything on loveless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I listened to this out the middle of nowhere, from Alpine to Fort Stockton. Literally nothing but West Texas desert for miles and miles on any side of the road, just my wife and I driving back from a getaway trip to Marfa. We had an awesome weekend and were driving back to reality of work and school and busy city life. It was bittersweet. It was an absolutely perfect soundtrack. Jesus, even the demo bonus disc is brilliant: http://youtu.be/TJuYqT9l5CI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doublename Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Never really got into this record after liking Souvlaki a lot. I'll have to give it another shot today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Halstead and his band did The VU and Nico here in my city for some reason. It was pretty much the same, with tons of guitar effects and reverb and fuzz and stuff like that. Pretty cool overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
