Recently bought the re-mastered Brave Murder Day (amazing), and in the notes anders lists Slowdive as the bands greatest influence< i take it he's talking about the shoegaze slowdive who did Souvlaki, when the sun hits etc, im a huge fan of slowdive and Katatonia, interstingly enough slowdive also had a album titled 'Morningrise':Smug:
Anyone like 'the Dive' also?
 
If you look at Katatonia's myspace page, Slowdive is one of their top friends. Anyways, Slowdive is a fantastic band and I wish Neil would reform them for at least a tour.
 
I think that My Bloody Valentine was another fantastic band from the shoegaze era. Also, Swans progressed a lot and made some truly beautiful albums in the early 90's, it's not shoegaze, but it's definetly something for Slowdive fans to check out.
