no problem. and let me point out that the reason it's so big is that it's a lossless recording (concerts never sound as good as mp3s). it's a good show (with a new track or two). you will be rewarded if you perservere rapidshare time limits...

yeah, the verve is great. richard ashcroft's solo stuff just doesn't measure up.

"Loveless" is not the early work from MBV, it's their last album from 1991, " Ecstasy and Wine" is from 1989,
" Isn't Anything " from 1988, " and then you have some good EP's, The last thing they did as MBV was a cover from Wire on the tribute album " Whore " in 1996, after that it was only Kevin Shields who did some remixes and made some new tracks for the soundtrack: Lost In Translation. I have all from My Bloody Valentine and i agree with you that " Loveless " is overrated but still a classic like all their music. :wink:

Daverdan, he didn't say Loveless was their early work. He said no one talks about their early work (i.e. Ecstasy and Wine and Isn't Anything), they only talk about Loveless.

Oh, and you are wrong. Ecstasy and Wine is from 1987 before they signed to Creation. Isn't Anything was their first album for Creation in 1988.

So Daverdan please check your facts before gleefully jumping on someone because you think they are making mistakes. It's not the first time i've noticed this tendency from you... :roll:

I also prefer some early tracks over some of "Loveless". I really like the folky/shoegaze feel of "Ecstacy and Wine". Did they have a different singer on the album "This Is Your Bloody Valentine"? It sounds like a totally different band... :shock:

Ecstacy and Wine is from nov. 1987 and a " mini-album " Mr. who thinks he knows it all. When you are desperate i can put everything they ever released on this topic and keep yr sarcasm for yrself... :!:

Oh, Daver. Why do you have to go and make a big thing of it. Why not just admit you made a couple of mistakes? I'm even prepared to believe you hit the wrong key and typed 1989 instead of 1987 by accident. Calm down, breathe easy. For God's sake let's not turn this place into WATMM.

I don't think i know it all, and i wasn't trying to act that way. All i was doing was pointing out that before you correct someone else you should be sure of your facts. And polar sky did not need correcting anyway.

And in the spirit of friendship and reconciliation, i will admit that i made a mistake too - in a way you are right - Ecstasy and Wine did come out in 1989. It was a collection of the Ecstasy mini LP and the Strawberry Wine 12" which both came out in 1987, which was the point i was trying to make.

Oh and there was no sarcasm in my post. Being sarcastic would be if i meant the opposite of what i wrote.

Now go to bed and let's hear no more about it. :wink:

And sorry but this :roll: is sarcasm to me, and i go to bed when i feel like it. :wink:

The Jesus & Mary Chain song is taken from their 2nd album Darklands, recommanded (and their 1st Psychocandy is too, of course)

Sorry not true, Just Like Honey is from Psychocandy their first album in 1985, and that track is on " Lost In Translation ", Darklands their second album is from 1987. Both 2 very good albums. :wink:

Oops, my mistake :oops: I assume it's because Darklands fits better with the movie's mood (so if you're not familiar with Jesus & Mary Chain you should listen this one before the abrasive Psychocandy ).

"Psychocandy" is the best album from " The Jesus And Mary Chain " for me, i got it on k7, lp, and cd=+bonus track! For me it's the best album from 1985. :wink:

Well, the thing is, I haven't been pursuing it as religiously as I was a week ago. I know that I LOVE a lot of M83's stuff... but I guess some people would quibble about calling that Shoegaze.

It really just depends. Even with M83 I don't like everything he's done, and the same goes for MBV and Slowdive as well. I think I just need to let the stuff circulate some more on my Winamp...

Wow... How could NOBODY have mentioned the 'Cocteau Twins' yet... They sound pretty shoegazeresque to me... Gorgeous work...

Seriously buy their album 'Heaven or Las Vegas' ASAP! I'm serious... It's BEAUTIFUL!!!

Adorable is a very good shoegazing band. " Against Perfection" and " Fake " are 2 great albums on Creation Records.
