Slowdive - Spanish Air [1991]
Many didn't but I loved Just For A Day in 91 and it stills sounds great today with the added extra of crushing bittersweet nostalgia.
Spanish Air is supreme goth-wave dream-gaze. You forget that Slowdive influenced Low but it's all here in this Simon and Garfunkel go goth epic.
Slowdive - Celia's Dream [1991]
Like a slowed down slacker attempt of the Cocteau Twins aesthetic. The waves of dream waves get satisfyingly rapturous when they go into overdrive at 3.24.
Slowdive - Primal [1991]
Epic.
Guitars, guitars, guitars!
...and cellos.
Sometimes Slowdive's early technique of having all the faders all the way up all the time worked.
A wild ride of atmospheres somewhere between brooding and blistering.
Haunting yet heavenly.
A relentless incandescent swirling maelstrom surging to the stars (not their shoes).
