Nadja did an amazing cover of Only Shallow on their new disc, I highly recommend that to any MBV/Nadja/goodmusic fans

I just re discovered Ride, that's some good **** right there. But I only have Nowhere, did they release anything else as good?

Nowhere is probably their best work although Going Blank Again is worthy of a listen. Maybe check out the Female fronted band Lush too who were around at the same time. Damn good band.

does anyone know of/like Auburn Lull? A really pastoral, autumny band that I'm really diggin as I write this. It's very drony and mellow and relaxing, beautiful stuff.

Really impressed by the selection above. Thanks for the crash course in shoegazing! I feel really behind, though, in terms of the immersion in the genre that seems to be present here. Is shoegaze a "niche genre", or will it come to mainstream prominence some time soon? Would this prospect be desirable?

Glad you liked the compilation. Shoegaze was quite big late 80's/early 90's especially in the U.K and there does seem to be a renaissance ATM with Autolux, Alcest and Nanocycle making waves. I am personally not bothered in the slightest if it stays a niche genre. That's the way I like it sometimes!

to be honest, I did not get much into shoegaze, except for my bloody valentine and slowdive. souvlaki and loveless are classics.

Has anyone checked out the Lost In Translation soundtrack? It's a pretty good soundtrack with some solo stuff by Kevin Shields.
