okay, maybe Slowdive weren't the worst of the 'crappy shoegazer
bands' :) - I even liked some of their tracks. But the albums used
to really drag on.. :)

The Reload thing was just a case of them remixing one of slowdive's
tracks wasn't it? - unless there was some other collaborative piece?

I've got the first Mojave 3 album and by sheer coinincidence
popped it on last night to check whether my feelings had
changed toward it. They hadn't. Although some of it is good in a
slow, minimal, dreamy sort of way, there isn't enough variation - one
song sounding like another - and there are frequent lapses into
sounding dreary.
I'm interested in how the new one sounds though, it's been a while
since the last came out (was it 1995?).
