Rough Trade Essential

<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>

two generations of head-rockers meet on 'souvlaki' - the second full album from 1993 by slowdive. veteran ambient soundmeister brian eno produced, arranged, and played keyboards on two tracks, but his presence isn't nearly as obvious as it is with u2, which is more of testament to slowdive's own dreamy 'another green world' aesthetic than to any laziness on eno's part. the lulling melodic undertow of the group's early eps is present in subtle new variations on songs such as 'allison', 'machine gun' and 'souvlaki space station' but eno blurs the foreground and background, giving the album a pleasant, swirling mix that's never static or predictable. this double cd reissue the singles and b-sides of the singles from the time plus 'some velvet morning' which was released on the 'volume' series compilation cd.
