the kissing ep,
By Isn't_Anything (AnyTown U.S.A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glider (Ep) (Audio CD)
I used to call this ep "the kissing cd" because of the cover. I actually chose this ep over loveless as my first mbv recording because I thought a friend was making me a cassette tape entirely of loveless. *Only to find out it was just two songs* so, I bought this ep first. I'll have to admit when I heard this ep for the first time I was like "this sucks!". Then, later on I heard "off your face" and I loved it. Another great track from this ep is "glider". Nerve-racking to sit through, it's still one of the most creative tracks since "revolution #9". The entire song is baiscly a guitar loop for mabye 2 minutes. The album version of "soon" is a very weak track on this ep and loveless. A very overrated song loved by everyone who has heard both cds. Why? "don't ask why" is a "normal"--so-to-speak album for mbv. Not one of my favorites and the lyrics arn't their best, either. I'd but this mbv cd first over loveless........

This review is from: Glider (Ep) (Audio CD)
The album cover alone inspires me. The music on this 4 song EP is nothing short of production genius. I think the majority of people who've written very eloquent reviews and comparisons of this band have summed up what you've been missing. The only warning I have... This album, in my humble opinion, was meant to uplift and inspire. If you are going through a break-up, the last song is a weeper for some of you.

This review is from: Glider (Ep) (Audio CD)
I missed out on My Bloody Valentine when they actually existed. I had a quite the virulent aversion to "wimpy college rock" around that time, and that was basically the only thing I knew about them, that they were a staple of college radio. (I missed out on the Pixies for the same reason.) I couldn't be bothered, I was too busy listening to scary stuff like the Melvins and the Jesus Lizard and Helmet. Now I myself have grown old and wimpy. A friend played Loveless (MBV's final and arguably best album) for me a couple of years ago and I was instantly hooked. I'd heard of shoegazer bands, but I'd never heard the term "dream-pop" until I was reading about MBV recently. I can't imagine that this term could be applied to any group more so than MBV; seemingly endless layers of melodies, harmonies and noise, flowing and cascading and intertwining through the air and into your mind... "dreamy" is definitely the word. Anyway, this CD is a great low-risk introduction to their music. If you like it, you will love Loveless. To established fans, it's an absolute must... an appendix to Loveless. The Tremolo EP is definitely in the same vein, but it's just not as crucial... this is the only EP which contains the song "Glider". Most fans seem to ignore this track, but I simply cannot stop listening to it. It's an unusual instrumental, even for MBV. There are no vocal or drum tracks in the mix, only several tracks of swirling, melting, dreamy guitar and bass. It's the most beautiful sound I've heard in quite some time, and I'd be perfectly happy if it was the only track on the disk and cost 10 times as much.
