I was wrapped up in the whole shoegaze scene at the time. Had my fringe, hooped tops, beads, jeans and DM's/desert boots. Haha, great days. Saw Ride so many times in the early days.
Ride, Slowdive, Chapterhouse, MBV, Lush, Pale Saints, Moose, UVS.....
Played G'500 Today and the first two Slowdive Ep's on the weekend. Still sound great.
There's a good cd with Mojo this month called Dream Pop that has the likes of Cocteau Twins, School Of Seven Bells, Ruby Suns, Galaxie 500, Mercury Rev, Lawrence Arabia.......very good in fact. Is Dream Pop a modern way of saying Shoegaze? What about the whole Chill-Wave scene that's going on, that could be shoegaze in a way, similar influences and sounds but more orientated towards beach and sunshine vibes.
