shoegaze

Props to Wooleybear for including Airiel's "Firefly" on his mix compilation. It's almost too beautiful. I pity the people who don't have the "Melted" Ep.

Here's an hour long mix that I made for a friend who's moving to Japan soon. It's a good mix of Japanese artists, from post rock, shoegaze, j pop ... it should be good music for a train.

[song] = [artist] = [album]

01 - Fantasma = Cornelius = Fantasma
02 - Little Boy (1945 - Future) = Mono = Travel In Constants Vol. 22 - The Phoenix Tree
* 03 - ?????????????????????????????? = té = ??????????????????????????????
04 - A Sorrowful Heartland = Hartfield = True Color, True Lie
05 - Reverberation = Dive = Freeze Frame e.p.++
06 - New Years = Asobi Seksu = Citrus
07 - Honeymoon Hotel = Cryuff in The Bedroom = Perfect Silence
08 - End of Small Sanctuary = Akira Yamaoka = Silent Hill 3 OST
09 - Empty Station = Midoriyama = Candle City
10 - Breath of Castle Ballad = World's End Girldfriend = Hurtbreak Wonderland
11 - Dante (Epic45 Remix) = Miaou = painted e.p.
12 - Sakura Coming = Guitar - Tokyo
13 - Pearl River = Quruli = The World Is Mine

*The té track is the 3rd song off of their newest (3rd) single. I don't know the English translation and I can't post the characters here due to the board not allowing Japanese characters.

How about the best compilation I did make:
A little piece of history... a tape I made in 91.

PWEI - Dance of the mad bastards
Ned's Atomic Dustbin - Happy
Wonderstuff - Caught in my shadow
Chapterhouse - Pearl
Ride - Chelsea girl
Blur - There's no other way
Curve - Coast is clear
Spirea X - Speed Reaction
Bleach - Dipping
Lush - Sweetness and light
Thousand Yard Stare - Buttermouth
Moose - Suzanne
The Orb - Little fluffy clouds
St Etienne - nothing can stop us
Lilac Time - Dreaming
Slowdive - Morningrise
Lush - De-luxe
Belltower - Outshine the sun
Spirea X - Chlorine dream
Curve - Ten little girls
Fatima Mansions - You're a rose
That Petrol Emotion - Sensitize

Clearly it's not all shoegazing but if ned's is madchester then maybe they are

They only one I would change is buttermouth. Weatherwatching was 12" only & I couldn't be arsed to fire up the record player for 1 track. (all the others are from cds)

Bum.
I never did reply to this.


I don't have the compilations to hand, but I know one of them started off like this :-

Revolver - Heaven Sent An Angel
Chapterhouse - Pearl
Slowdive - Morningrise
Kitchens of Distinction - Sand On Fire
Malory - Falling Shine

Tracks seven and eight were Felt and Ride, or vice versa. Can't remember what was six .... I'll have to root around for the tracklistings ....
