Staring at my ol' Chuck Taylors
May 6 2004
Format:Audio CD
1989-1994 (for me at least) was a time of long car trips to NYC and, later (to see the same girl) DC. Lush, Ride and Adorable were great bands to just zone with the passing intermittent lines along the Interstate. They spoke to my young, naive and overly romantic self-aborption with life. And as I write this, I see I can easily slide into self-absorption again (-; It's a nice, though incomplete, compilation of the songs of the shoegazers. Sadly, My Bloody Valentine, Curve (to a degree) and most sadly, the Boo Radleys, are nowhere to be found on this disc. Listen up, let's roll out Vol II.

In the days of the "Gaze" craze.....
Sep 20 2004
Format:Audio CD
I'm not sure who put this together, but it's a collection of "shoegazer" bands from the early 90's. Included are some bigger names such as "Ride", "Slowdive", and my favorite "Lush", as well as some obscure acts like "Moose", "Drop Nineteens", and "Adorable". There are a few genre-defining groups missing here, like "Catherine Wheel", "Curve", and "MBV", perhaps even "Cocteau Twins" and "Jesus And Mary Chain", but this is still a decent collection. Anyone looking for more of this sound should just check out any of the above mentioned bands.

Poor cross section of music . .
Jun 4 2006

These bands had so many better songs than the ones selected here. When I think shoegazer, I think a wonderful AM drone . . .and this just isn't it. The songs sound so much more like Ride's Twisterella era music than Nowhere. And the singing on many of the tracks is flat and off key.
Listmania!
