Serious question: why don't shoegaze albums sound like this anymore?
>>
>>74721739
Is there a pastebin with the latest releases friends?
>>
How do we get Whirr to reunite bros? I have an idea that's probably super autistic but hear me out.

So the only way this plan can work is if Nicky B. still has an incredibly large ego, which I distinctly remember him having during the Whirr years. So basically the plan is, one of us starts a band that has enough similarity to Whirr that they can be compared, but different enough that it's its own thing.

Then that band cuts an album or two, starts doing the music scene hustle and tries to book shows, etc. Then during an interview (which is bound to happen at some point) the interviewer will probably ask "where do you guys get your inspiration from?"

So the frontman or whatever starts saying how they wanted to out-Whirr Whirr, that Nothing sucks dick, and Whirr isn't nearly as good as they are. Then maybe say something like "Hear that Bassett? You and Whirr are a bunch of talentless hacks!"

The interview is bound to make its rounds in the shoegaze circle because it's basically a bunch of nobodies goading one of the biggest shoegaze bands that had ever existed. Bassett will be really pissed most likely and be like "oh yeah kid? You think you're better than Whirr? I'm gonna get the band back together so we can put you in your place!"

I don't know what's supposed to happen after that. I'm high. This plan is probably stupid but I think it can work.

>>74742477
I would keep it 1 per artist so skip Slowdive s/t. Maybe include T-JC and Salons but idk if they should be in an intro chart. I would also include The Verve EP.
I can't comment on nu-gaze because I haven't listened to much, but I don't think there should be more nu-gaze than the original scene. Add Eureka and maybe Deathconsciousness or some other blackgaze.

>>74742393
Ehh idk about this, it's spacey sure but I feel like they were really lazy with the ambient sounds and there's not much particularly unique or dynamic about it.

>>74743538
I was going for an essentials chart that covers 90s, 00s and 10s.
If I start adding J-gaze and blackgaze then it's gonna be huge.
>>
>>74743538
i disagree, add more nugaze. it's not a shoegaze is not a stagnant or finished genre and there's plenty of recent material that's exemplary for the sound

Along these lines I'd kinda like to see a chart that's ONLY albums which don't sound anything like the stereotypical shoegaze styles but still clearly fall within the genre. There's so much that can be done with it, something to shine more of a spotlight on the possibilities would be nice.

Bardo Pond is a good example. Not all of their songs use shoegazing, but they do heavily rely on noise to create their special brand of droney psych rock.
see >>74723187 >>74724428
There's also Windy & Carl and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma for ambient/drone and Seefeel for ambient techno.
ASDIG, Rollerskate Skinny, Swirlies, Quickspace, and The Boo Radleys all use shoegaze for their colorful neo-psych purposes.

I can understand that the basic dream pop rhythm might sound monotone and "the same" in all the songs, but the same can be said about almost any genre.

I liked it much more than Dying, but that's coming from someone that didn't really like Dying. It's definitely a dark album and actually manages to sound like its own thing instead of all the millions of other dark albums out there.

no one talks about it for some reason but it's a pretty good fusion of shoegaze and alt dance
