SLOWDIVE The Shining Breeze: The Slowdive Anthology (2010 UK issue 31-track 2-CD album set - Slowdive was an English alternative rock band that formed in 1989 in Reading and primarily consisted of Nick Chaplin [bass], Rachel Goswell [vocals, guitar], Neil Halstead [vocals, guitar] and Christian Savill [guitar]. Several drummers played with the band, including Ian McCutcheon, Adrian Sell, and Simon Scott. Signing with Creation, Slowdive's early singles received glowing press and chartplacement. Their debut single, 'Slowdive', thinly veiled an indebtedness to The Byrds and My Bloody Valentine, with no traceable punk influence. Just after Slowdive's recording, the sleepy escapist psychedelia of both 'Morningrise' and 'Holding Our Breath' made significant impressions on the British indie chart. This anthology, compiled and annotated by Mojo's Kieron Tyler, is a fine stepping-on point for anyone interested in the works of the group)
