I think you improved the word, actually.

Still time to edit.

I think SW just changed his mind after, realizing that Stars Die was too good not to be on there, so when it came time for it to be released here, he added it.
The two disc remaster is beautiful, but I would've used the lineup I posted before, and then on the second disc, have the alternate version of the title track by itself, or perhaps add Men Of Wood, too.
I put the songs together on my iPod the way I wanted, using Stars Die and Moonloop from the second disc (as they flow together) right after Phase 1, then continuing on with the rest. It works perfectly, I must say.

Nah, I quite like it, actually.
the tourist said:Good morning, everyone.
Today I think I'll listen to Fear of a Blank Planet.
Axver said:
You know, I haven't heard Men Of Wood. But I believe it's on a compilation uploaded on a blog you linked to, so I'll have to check it out. I at least know Colourflow In Mind, which is interesting.
I'll have to give your tracklist a go. On paper, it looks like it should be fantastic. I take it that by the full Moonloop, you mean only the 16 minute version, not the 40 minute one?

Ride
Probably the best shoegazer album of all time. It's more consistent throughout than My Bloody Valentine.
Although Slowdive's Souvlaki is damn good, too.

Nowhere is my favourite shoegaze album, and one of my favourite albums of all time full stop. It's just incredible. I listened to Swervedriver's Mezcal Head for the first time tonight and it's fantastic too.
I don't buy the Loveless hype. It's good and I like almost all the songs, but it's not the be-all and end-all of shoegazing.
The opening trio of songs on Souvlaki are fucking superb.
phanan said:
Great album.
Axver said:
Good man. The middle section of Anesthetize melted my face in Brisbane. Besides the fact that it rocks the fuck out in the first place, the sound in Brisbane was just perfect.
After how much I headbanged, no wonder I felt lightheaded after the gig.

Excellent, but this morning I gave the Punk and 90's alt stations a try.

It's difficult to pick and choose what to listen to. All I know is that I want to get through all the studio stuff before I go through the live stuff.

the tourist said:
Yeah. And the mixing is terrible.

What have you listened to so far?
The main studio albums are obviously the best starting point. I think I outlined those when I posted the link.
Axver said:
