If the whole world watched this... {Knew what I know Saw what I see Heard what I hear...} than world would be far more magic -loving, cool & creative- than it is now/has been since~
I sadly have to agree. It affected the fact that the production started circa 2007 when RU-vid was different. Nowadays you find even better videos and information on the genre in some certain videos around the web. The only interesting thing were the interviews and some look dated (like Rob Smith's one for instance)
I have noticed that anyone who listens to or creates shoegaze music has to be glittery eyed and dreamy because that type of music alone is other worldly. I truly believe shoegaze musicians are channeling some kind of sparkly pink energy. sooo pretty!!! :-)
I don't like to say this, but no other shoegazing band comes near the level of My bloody valentine. I've spent years of looking for music that is just slightly similar to it, but i don't find it. Yeah, slowdive and ride are awesome, but in their own particular way. mbv is in an entire other level.
That's why it was used in the trailer - because Shoegaze owes a debt of influence to the sonic experimentation pioneered by the Velvet Underground, and then went on to have enormous influence of it's own.
