I guess Caribou a.k.a. Manitoba aren't far away from the Nu-Gaze thang - Up in Flames and Andorra work for me...

I downloaded some Gliss as I was curious about very positive reviews that did point out they were great despite the dodgy name and the fact Billy Corgan was a big fan...'Devotion Implosion' and 'Love the Virgins' are great. Definitely in this ball-park...

Would we say that Damon & Naomi's 'More Sad Hits' counts? It's the one where Kramer came to the fore as Dean Wareham had split the band. Much more psychedelic than Galaxie 500 and some lovely vocals from both D & N that makes me wish they'd sung in G500 too. 'ETA' is absolutely perfect//heck, as is the rest - one that deserves the Unsung-treatment. Great cover of Hugh Hopper's Memories too and definitely the best record from any of the three of G500 since their demise...
