Slowdive - Pygmalion
Ripped from a vinyl album released on Creation Records (CRELP 168) in 1995 to high resolution 24-bit lossless flac audio. The swansong album from Reading's Slowdive possibly marked the end of the original shoegaze genre. The band moved away from their dreamy guitar sounds towards a more ambient almost electronic sound. This may well have lost an audience among the toe staring mop-cropped indie kids yet this deviation marked maturity in its creativity and braveness in delivery. This album would have worked well for 4AD. Creation Records had by the mid-nineties found bigger fish and foolishly dumped Slowdive. With some irony, band members eventually re-emerged on 4AD as Mojave 3. Blue skied an' clear. Thank you to thehappyone for this superb rip.
