Dreams Burn Down by Ride
“This album was literally the first shoegaze album I ever owned, I probably bought it at Rhino Records the year it came out. Listening to this album was a revelation, the basis of my love for this genre and this is my very favorite song from Nowhere. I mean, listen to it! How can one not fall in love?”

This album was literally the first shoegaze album I ever owned, I probably bought it at Rhino Records the year it came out. Listening to this album was a revelation, the basis of my love for this genre and this is my very favorite song from Nowhere. I mean, listen to it! How can one not fall in love?
There was a time when I used to listen to this album on loop mode...

Contentious statement, but possibly the greatest shoegaze moment committed to vinyl? (thanks to Alan Moulder)
Off of "Nowhere", released on Creation Records in 1990
Classic jingly jangly, hazy phasey, shoegazing, dream POP!

Forgotten by history, but NME front cover regulars and with three top ten albums, Oxford's finest dream-pop merchants - Ride. I went to see them live with a girl who walked out halfway through Dreams Burn Down, complaining that "it's just noise". Yes - but it's great noise.
