I'd suggest their next album, Lushlife. It's more straight-up trip hop but it's really good, retains that dreamy atmosphere.

I really like their album Lushlife, but you might be disappointed if you're expecting more shoegaze.

While not shoegaze-esque, you might enjoy Wagon Christ.

The shift to being more trip-hop doesn't bother me, at least in theory. I'll give it a listen now.

>>72214254
Trip Hop was the final nail in the shoegaze coffin back in the day. the few bands that didnt go the brit-pop route took the trip-hop one.
The Telescopes and Curve are two good examples of this
Shoegaze peaked in 91-92
Trip Hop peaked in 94-95
by the later half of the 90s almost every "artsy" band/artist had trip-hop influences just to stay hip
god I hated that shit
source. I was a teen in the 90s

>>72214349
If MBV were more prolific in the 90s they would have pushed shoegaze bands into jungle and drum n bass.

>by the later half of the 90s almost every "artsy" band/artist had trip-hop influences just to stay hip

yeah I can see why you would be annoyed, if it was being done more and more just for the sake of being trendy. i think bowery electric pulled it off well though.

Kevin anounced that the folloup to Loveless was going to be "jungle" (we didnt call it drum and bass back then), but that was before trip-hop became a thing, it existed but only Portishead, Tricky and Massive Attack where labeled as such
I he ever made that album it would been mostly trip-hop with some drum and bass influences, he also said he was ditching guitars and rocked some dreadlocks
Should check out my old music magazines for that article next time I visit my mom so I can scan it and gain some internets

>>72214433
That would've been kinda neat. Like a noisier Primal Scream

What do you guys think about this transition to trip hop and drum n bass?

It's a rare find by the look of it. What a lucky photographer.

>>72214472
I never imagined them to be trip hop

>>72214461
more like the second half of MVB. Anyways, Kevin anounced the new album in every interview from 92 to 96 when journalist stopped believing him. he's very talented but a major asshole. specially now that we know he just had sketches of each one that ended up in MVB 20yrs later. also, remember he anounced an EP of 100% new material and proper vinyl reissues about 4 years ago
and Primal Scream was never good, Bobby just has some cool friends that join him every once in a while and help him make a good song every once in a while. XTRMTR was good thou

>proper vinyl reissues
Is it true that the current Loveless reissue is shit and mastered from the CD?

ok m8

>>72214552
Yes, the only real vinyl issues where the ones released by creation and good luck finding those
Avoid the current ones like the plague, better to just get the CDs

>>72214560
pls, that album is overrated af. It aged like milk, PTV where doing the same rock/acid house thing years before and if it wasnt enough it's actually a ckassic rock album that got remixed once it was finished and then released as "innovative"
my 15yr self enjoyed it though, but bcs I knew no better.

>>72214552
The Plain versions are horrid. Same goes for The Mollusk

>>72214652
What are the chances that Elektra or Ween themselves will reissue those albums? I get the feeling those Plain albums were reissued without the band's involvement.

>>72214718
Actually, I'm not even sure if it was done without the band's involvement. The Plain Recordings reissues are on Ween's official store.

>>72214718
I mean it's hard to say, The Mollusk in particular is in dire need of a reissue but not all Ween's albums have bad pressings, I'm pretty sure my version of Quebec is alright. Not even all Plain pressings are too bad honestly, they're never great but I have a Screamadelica release of theirs that's alright if I remember correctly.

>>72214812
Most "madchester" classics where released con vinyl worldwide, specially in south anerica. You can find a 91 screamadelica brazilian vinyl at a decent price if you look.
Unfortunately, shoegaze didnt have the same luck, except Chapterhouse bcs "falling down" could be confused with a charlatans single.
Fun fact

While we're on the topic of vinyl reissues, does anyone have the Souvlaki and Pygmalion reissues? How are they?

>>72214349
I thought curve was an industrial band

>>72215094
they started off shoegaze

>>72215094
They always had an industrial influence, but where always known for their shoegaze.
You probably heard "chinese burn" that is from 97. Check out Cukoo and thank me later, ignore contrarians that say their first is their best, its not

>>72215040
Paid a shitton of money for the cd imports back in the day, not buying them again
Having said that, a friend has the souvlaki vinyl reissue, its good. Go for it
