Against perfection.

Here it is! The last shoegaze post and I have to say I'm kind of happy about it ending. Have been getting a little anxious to do something else. So to end it off I have chosen an album that came at the tail end of the shoegaze heyday. Adorable's "Against Perfection" was released in 93 around the time everything was changing and Britpop was on the verge of becoming a house hold name worldwide. Super ego superstars Oasis came along and... well, this fell by the wayside rather quickly. It's also interesting to hear a shoegaze album that is on the verge of a giant change as well. The vocals are noticeably more up front and the guitars are sounding a bit more ready for the fields of Glastonbury. Still an excellent album that was of course released by Creation.http://www.mediafire.com/?w2h4hb3z114zk

Lazy day.

This one managed to go unheard by me for a long time. Never gave this band a listen and when I finally did hear this album was kind of shocked by it. A good solid shoegaze album. Guess it makes total sense that this album came out on Creation Records in 1992. Alan Mcgee seemed to have cornered the marketplace on the shoegaze sound. While Creation is celebrated for acts like My Bloody Valentine, an early Oasis, and Slowdive, I often find really great albums on the label that seem unnoticed State side. This is just one such album. This would also be why I have adopted the rule that if I happen to come across a strange record on Creation that I have never heard of it will undoubtedly go in the "yes" pile.http://www.mediafire.com/?k99ejd6332fco
