在80年代末至90年代，英国出现了纯粹以吉他噪音实验为目标的乐队与风格，并且获得了相当大的成功，在英国独立摇滚中可谓独树一帜。敏感的乐评人称这一类音乐风格为“自赏摇滚”（Shoe-gazing）。“自赏摇滚”这一名称很是贴切，既包涵了乐队的音乐风格，又暗示了乐队特立独行的生活态度。 My Bloody Valentine就是这类摇滚的代表人物，Loveless是该乐队的第三张专辑，被公认为是该乐队最成功的代表作，在世界范围内都有巨大影响，这张专辑和乐队名称甚至一起出现在了经典游戏Final FantasyVII的片头CG里。

"Colour Trip" is a finely realised record, full of soar-away riffs and pummelling percussion. It squeals in all the right places, squirming under the hefty weight of some serious amplification. Vocals drift and drone, hazy in the background of so much fuzz and fog. It ticks any number of boxes you’d care to propose for this sort of shoegaze-goes-interstellar raucousness, plus dishes out the introspection on comparatively sedate numbers like Kaleidoscope and Day Dreamy.

专辑介绍：银湖自赏运动的又一代表乐队，这支当年被滚石杂志力捧、用一首自制Demo就征服厂牌老板的乐队，在经过长达4年的酝酿后，终于重新回到人们的视线。他们用粗糙而富于表现力的音符创作出一种代表内心最深处感情的唱片，新作很噪、很有冲击力。该张专辑上周销量为43,000张,创造了乐队在排行榜中的最高记录。

Do The Pains of Being Pure At Heart belong? After garnering widespread acclaim for their out-of-nowhere self-titled 2009 Slumberland debut, have The Pains made the kind of record that will matter to the kind of people to whom records still matter? From the opening explosions of electric guitar on "Belong" ("We don't") and the sumptuously synthetic dance pop perfection of "The Body," to the prom-in-heaven chorus of "Even in Dreams" and the closing moments of the uncommonly sincere and affecting "Strange" (". . .and dreams can still come true"), the answer is an unqualified, resounding (and damn good sounding): "Yes." Recorded with the production and mixing team of Flood (Depeche Mode, U2) and Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride), Belong unleashes added power, while retaining all the sweet sweet melodies that still hit that pop spot.

In Spring 2012, Alcest were honoured to play a live session at the venerable BBC, Britain’s biggest radio station and promoter of the development of Rock music for decades. Recorded on February 27th, 2012 by the producer who already captured the BBC Sessions of Nirvana, Dead Can Dance, Slowdive and many other icons of alternative music, these live songs show the magic of a band that is also about to take their own place on the pantheon of Rock. Alcest's BBC Session is now available in a limited vinyl edition with poster exclusively via Prophecy's online shop. Side A contains the three songs of the session, while side B is embellished with an etching.

Galaxie 500 was an American alternative rock band that formed in 1987 and split up in 1991 after releasing three albums.

A sonic and soulful masterpiece, this impressive debut showcases the bands
distinctive wall of immense and anthemic sound whilst simultaneously
introducing you to a band whose sincerity, presence and originality serves to
remind you what ‘real’ bands are all about.
Produced by Paddy Byrne (Unkle, The Hours) and mixed by renowned mixer
and remixer, Ulrich Schnauss the album features current single ‘Hearts and
Minds’ alongside live favourites such as ‘We’re On Our Own’, ‘Serenity’, the
cinematically beautiful ‘Reference’ and psychedelic ambition of ‘Recovery’.
With heady guitars, ambient and effect laden layers, echoes of musical
heroes such as The Verve and Spiritualized are undeniable, yet Exit Calm’s
delivery is incomparably unique and in a class of its own. This is a band
that once seen, leave no doubt in belief; coming alive on stage and evoking
an atmosphere of epic proportions.
