I always found this rather haunting when i got the vinyl. Because of that, I would avoid playing this as well as Morning Rise.
"Now i'm all grown up" and no longer afraid of whatever it was haunting me. There are socially accepted demons here on earth which are far scarier than a slightly eerie Slowdive song.
So now i can relax and listen properly without worrying about things coming at me behind gravestones etc and it's beautiful. Sublime. Melancholic Hopefulness. Hopeless Euphoria.
Or.....i know....Post Rave Comedown as one journo called them.
It makes me chuckle how "cool" it is to like Slowdive now. I had people laugh at me for suggesting these were amazing back in the day. I was almost kicked out of university for refusing to wear a "Carter USM" t-shirt. In the end a compromise was reached in that i wore a "Godfodder" (Neds) t-shirt as long as i never had to wear a Carter t-shirt.
Whatever next? Stereolab on radio one?
BTW....I wish everybody would stop claiming that there was a "shoegaze" scene in 1991. Shoegazing was a derogatory comment from a music journo. It wasn't like Slowdive and Ride bumped into each other in the pub and said "Hey....why don't we call our music, shoegaze". Then Chapterhouse phoned up and asked if they could be shoegaze too.
Oh....On the very slim chance that she is reading....Hi Rachel
