Hello everyone!
This month wasn't successful in searching new music.
Mostly, I spend it searching new Slowdive's stuff and I found Albatross, Ambient (alt. version) and much more, but unfortunately I have heard all their material they made for their short period and now all I have to do is just enjoy this material and wait for news from the Mojave 3.

I have a great opportunity to buy their albums in the near future and I try to find where I can do it.
I was very dissapointed because there aren't many places where their albums are on sale. It's because a) slowdive are not popular b) they broke up in far 1995 c) the main reason is that CD disks are gradually becoming out of fashion because people prefer to buy music from the Internet.
Anyway, I know that their albums are available on ebay.com and amazon.com, so I don't worry.

I have a great opportunity to buy their albums in the near future and I try to find where I can do it.

omg, it's my dream.

Ok, let's forget about Slowdive for a while and finally go to other bands.

I  recognize my favourite "I'll be yours" in this song:

This song is performed by Faye Wong but as far as I know originally it is performed by Cocteau Twins. As for me, Faye's version is way better.

The other band I enjoy is The December Sound. My favourite song is "Il forte":

The best thing I heard for this month:

When silence falls
And light remains
And time is born
Beneath the sun...

Since my Pink Floyd obsession I found a lot of nice music in many different genres, but the track above is a real masterpiece. It reminded me about missed Swans concert. According to some reviews the concert was awesome. I'm so jealous. Nobody knows when they will come again and will they even come again... But I try not to feel blue and hope for the second chance.


Today I was really exited when I read some good news about Mojave 3. Neil Halstead (ex-Slowdive, now Mojave 3) told that the band is going to record new album this year. Their last album "Puzzles Like You" went out five years ago.


And now my other findings:


In my opinion, very underrated band which deserve many more listeners.





Ok, industrial, shoegaze, what's next? Japanese noise rock.

Slowdive

I remember with happiness that day when I listened to Slowdive for the first time. I fell in love with Rutti and Crazy For You immediately.
Rutti reminds me of one of my favorite Placebo songs Bubblegun, thats why Rutti became my favourite song too.
Rutti is a slow dive in dream. (c)



There are two versions of this song (2nd is the demo version), but I prefer the album version.

Both this songs are from Pygmalion. I think, Pygmalion is their best album because it is less shoegaze and more dream pop and ethereal. Nevertheless, Souvlaki is considered as their best album.

Thank God I found Slowdive.
