While there may be other worthwhile releases this week, sorry, no one trumps the almighty My Bloody Valentine. This week, we have in stock some extra copies of the remastered, double CD set of their 3 EPs Collection, EPs 1988-1991. For a band with so little output, their mark on the guitar world and the shoegaze cannon is legendary. Many bands have tried to emulate their sound, but there can be no other. Such a specific treatment of guitars and angelic voices. I consider their work an essential component of any music collection. Five stars, all abound! For fun, listen to Instrumental Number 2, a deep cut, one not instantly recognizable as MBV. I wanted to pick something less obvious than Swallow, Soon, or Glider. See if you can pick out the bass line and percussion that appears in Madonna's "Justify My Love." Hmmmmmm...perhaps Prince (the writer of the song) was a MBV fan? Common sample?
