--here's the quote from a guitar mag interview with MBV...this is what the
interviewer says just before the interview starts...
"Meanwhile, both David Byrne and Brian Eno have declared My Bloody Valentine
the most intriguing new pop band on the scene."
--and he goes on to say...
"Each record boasts iconoclastic playing and production details that violate
almost all conventional wisdom about how pop records ought to sound. Barely
audible vocals drown in dense washes of pulsating guitar. Weird phase
relationships tease your ear while churning, low-register beating processes
knot your belly. Thanks to Shields' startling whammy bar manipulation,
guitar tracks seem to flutter and wind down without losing the beat. The
deep-focus, dream-time music seems to invite farfetched, atmospheric
metaphors: a short-wave transmission from a distant galaxy, a faded
palimpsest barely visible beneath an old painting."
--to me this could very well be a description of an ambient or idm track...
--so yes, kent, i completely agree with your statements about mbv and it's
connection to ambient/idm...
