about

There aren’t many records being made right now that sound like Amp’s Stenorette. In 1998, there were quite a few, which is why this one mostly went unnoticed when it was released. Blending trip-hop beats, dream pop ethereality, shoegaze density and a slight touch of gothic 4AD melancholy, Bristol’s Amp reflected a good 15 years or so of underground British music in one gorgeous, unique package. It’s a gorgeous swirl of sound, a sensory experience that shows off not only the band’s vast array of influences, but also their ability to stitch them together in such a mesmerizing, fluid manner. It’s an album whose charms creep up on you. It’s rarely conventionally catchy, but it’ll certainly put you in a trance. – JT

MC Strong:
"Occupying musical territory somewhere between shoegazing and the Bristol 'Trip Hop' sound, AMP had created a work of sweeping soundscapes, echoing ambience and waves of feedback." ... more

90s shoegaze bands, even the best ones, tended to be terminally uncool. Bowery Electric was a major exception. I mean, they even had an amazing shirt that put "Bowery Electric" on the Adidas logo. This record and Beat are beyond essential listening, shimmering with uniquely menacing, entrancing beauty. kimbendixjr

everything is alive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
