During the time I was listening to Shoegaze bands, I was also liking the band Close Lobster. Not a SG band, but some of their songs fit in well with the genre.

Quelle coincidence—last week I played Foxheads Stalk This Land. Don't ask me why, but I always thought they were an Athens, GA, band.

I don't know if we want to include dreamier pop stuff, I get a kick out of Julee Cruise and Hooverphonic's Blue Wonder Power Milk.

Works for me.
Highly Biased Observation: Shoegaze bands had the best EPs of any genre in the early 90s.
I checked out Th' Faith Healers a few years ago, at a time that I probably wasn't ready for them. I'll have to give them another spin. I go through phases frequently in which I'll hear something, decide it's not for me, but say to myself "eh, I'll probably like that in about 5 years." I'm almost never wrong.
I'm listening to Lido right now and it's fantastic. As in, why the fuck had I never heard them before? I'm hesitant to call it shoegaze, tho. Too many gaps in the sound, I think. I hear a whole lot of krautrock in them, especially Can. Regardless, it's an exceptional disc.

Lido is probably there best album also talking of Can they do an amazing cover version of 'Mother Sky' can't remember what album it's from though.
Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "Listen, mate, "life" has surface noise."

It's on my Lido cassette, but the track listings were different on CD & LP, depending on format.
If you like Roxanne's voice Doc, she sang a Bobby Gentry cover for a bonus Moose 7"

Yup, it's on the copy of Lido I dl'd, towards the end. And it's an excellent cover.

Moose also did a Wire cover on the same 7"

Shit, everything's comin' up Milhouse! That's a decent cover. I'll be dl-ing the youtube audio pronto.

Those first three Swervedriver EP's are fanfuckintastic.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty

No fuchsias for you.
Great album and certainly their best out of the 2 studio albums they released the 2nd album 'National Coma' was bad.. They also recorded an album before delaware which was called 'Mayfield' and was never released but its out there on the net on loads of blogs and is a shoegazing classic.
