shoegaze

[uethanian]

over the past year or so i've taken quite a liking to the shoegaze sound. i started with MBV's loveless after hearing 'sometimes' used in the movie Lost in Translation. then more MBV stuff, some slowdive, i recently got 'lush' and 'citrus' by asobi seksu and 'ferment' by catherine wheel (which i can already tell is going to become one of my favorites). but i'm definitely looking for more...any TBers share my enthusiasm/can recommend good shoegaze albums?

Slowdive are my favourite- I think there's quite a long thread on this over in recordings.

Jesu - Conqueror, their early albums and EPs are cool. More dronish than shoegaze. Mogwai - Music for Happy People. Although I tend to like the less poppy/catchy stuff.
