<p>Slowdive is a shoegaze band that originated in Reading, England in 1989. After disbanding in 1995, the group made a comeback in 2014. The classic line-up includes Rachel Goswell on vocals and guitar, Nick Chaplin on bass, Neil Halstead on vocals and guitar, Simon Scott on drums (1990 - 1994 and since 2014), and Christian Savill on guitar. Throughout their career, Slowdive had three other drummers: Adrian Sell (1989), Neil Carter (1990), and Ian McCutcheon (1994 - 1995).</p>

'pygmalion' is the third and final album from slowdive from 1995 which essentially was a solo ambient record by halstead with the odd vocal coutesy of goswell. whereas the first two albums conjured up the ambience of flowered fields, rainy days, and starry skies, 'pygmalion' conjures up the ambience of abandoned factories and empty rooms. but what makes it so compelling is that slowdive's music has lost none of its warmth, even in these distant compositions; it's just taken a different turn. this double cd reissue comes with a bonus 12 track cd of rare demos never released on cd before.
