I like the mixing on Loveless. Its completely upside down, the bass is practically nonexistent and the drums, the thing that would traditionally be driving the songs, is pushed right to the back. The guitar is much louder than everything else and you cn hardly hear the words. Funny way of mixing an album but thats what gives it its hazy, blurry character.

This is why I don't think of My Bloody Valentine in relation to the so-called "shoegazing" scene. Ride, great as they were, never sounded remotely like them.
