Still in a dream : a story of shoegaze : 1988-1995

"Five discs littered with rarities and tracks making their CD debut are presented in a hardback book stuffed with memorabilia, band biographies and Neil Taylor's dissertation-length notes ... Two decades on, the set achieves a level of poignancy as the last time alternative music would sound so innocent and blissfully oblivious in its independence, before being replaced by rampant mega-bands, increasing nostalgia and the digital age. Ironically, the higher points of shoegazing now sound like they were more lasting and influential than the louder-mouthed but flimsily derivative Britpop shenanigans which killed it".
