i wanna talk about slowdive

[perriwinkle]

because i like them a lot. currently,

Souvlaki is easily my favorite album

and Machine Gun is my favorite song.

Those interested should peep this Lali Puna cover of 40 Days from their I Thought I Was Over That: (Rare, Remixed And B-Sides) its pretty sweet--

souvlaki is beautiful. vinyl format goes for loads on ebay. machine gun and dagger are my faves, but its a beautiful album overall.

[Neoteric]

Slowdive rule.

[Eliminator]

Sweet another thread about slowdive/shoegaze.

[Bukowski]

Pgymalion and Souvlaki are both money. Pgymalion is to me more like Talk Talk/Bark Psychosis than shoegaze though, it's quite different but has some of their best songs. I should check out their first album.

Souvlaki Space Station is unbeatable.

[Refl]

Pretty music.

[La Revolucion]

Just about every song on Souvlaki is classic, especially Dagger.

[AndreTheHyena]

I think I like this band. I have Souvlaki, but I haven't listened to it in a while. I guess I will now.

[niobium]

I have Pygmalion, will someone how that compares to the other two? I really like it.

[La Revolucion]

It's good but it's no Souvlaki. Seriously, get it now.

[perriwinkle]

i have Pygmalion, Souvlaki, and Just For a Day.

i think Pygmalion is more ambient than the others, but the more similar and my recommendation would be Souvlaki but i'd check out whatever you can. im actualy gonna look for some more stuff on soulseek right now

[AndreTheHyena]

This isn't as good as I remember. "40 Days" is great, though. "Machine Gun" and "Dagger", both of which were mentioned in this thread as being a cut above the rest, seem a bit subpar...

[Bukowski]

I started off indifferent to Souvlaki, then it all suddenly clicked, and I went through a period of obsession where I listened to it constantly, and now I think I've burned it out a little. So for me atm, Pygmalion is their best.

Can someone upload their first album?

thats cool i really like their melodies, i'll sing this part for days:

Saw machine gun
I saw you down
Saw the arrow
I slow you down
It is all I need, yeah


and the chorus to 40 Days is really catchy too

[niobium]

It's good but it's no Souvlaki. Seriously, get it now.Downloading

Slowdive is my least favourite of the shoegaze bands. Slouvaki has got nothing on Nowhere and Loveless

[The Jungler]

I like Souvlaki more than Nowhere, but its not better than Loveless.

Band is really good though, Machine Gun, Allison and Dagger are easy favorites from that album. I think I'll listen to Pygmailion when I get the chance.

[AlienEater]

I keep meaning to buy Souvlaki

[pixiesfanyo]

truer than the sphinx

[Robert Crumb]

I thought I might like this band more than I do, but I think I have a prejudice against shoegaze anyway. Some nice songs. They did make me go and hunt down some Lee Hazlewood thanks to their cover of "Some Velvet Morning," though. I like me some Lee Hazlewood.

[perriwinkle]

whose albums is Nothing? i wanna check it out. already have Loveless i personally think the songs on Souvlaki are more interesting but Loveless is definitely classic

[Scott Herren]

Do you mean Ride's Nowhere? I have never heard of a Nothing album.

[perriwinkle]

oh, yeah Nowhere thats what i meant alright ill check dat outtt

[philly96]

Is Nowhere Ride's only album?

[AlienEater]

I'm pretty sure it's not

[Neoteric]

Loveless and Nowhere are both 5/5 material but while Slowdive rule, they don't quite live up to their successors.

[perriwinkle]

i dont see why they can't be judged singularly

[Neoteric]

Cause there is simply better shoegaze bands out there.

[niobium]

I'm pretty sure I haven't listened to Souvlaki yet.

[Interstate]

Souvlaki is the only album I own by them, it's good listenin' though.

[Eliminator]

Cause there is simply better shoegaze bands out there.

quite simply!!
