Here is a music style that was popular in late 80s early 90s and managed to stay artisically pure, I don't recall any of these artists
making MTV video, very rarely gave interviews.
ShoeGazer style is characterized by shimmering curtains/waves of distortion upon which layer after layer of instrumnets and vocals were added. The distortion is not hard edge wall of sound like JMC (jesus mary chain) but swirling/undulating waves almost hypnotic in nature. Atrists were almost motionless when performing usually staring down at their instrument, thus the
descriptive title shoe-gazing was coined.
I have many CDs in this catagory, here are some excellent examples:
MBV (my bloody valentine) - Loveless
Lush - Gala & Spooky & Split
Ride - Nowhere & Going Blank Again
Catherine Wheel - Ferment & Chrome
Slowdive - Just for a Day & Souvlaki
Any other artists/albums that must be heard in this catagory? Who has a favorite artist/CD in this catagory?
