Slowdive: Pygmalion (Music On Vinyl 180g) Vinyl LP

Third studio album from Reading's Slowdive. Pygmalion was originally recorded in 1994 and featured a more ambient sound than the band's two previous albums. It feels as if the band had taken its sound to where it was destined to go with this album. Songs like "Blue Skied an' Clear" and "Crazy for You" show that there are still pop songs there, but the rest of the album floats by on its own cloud. "Miranda" recalls Cocteau Twins, while "Rutti" and "J's Heaven" seem to hint at what was to come with Mojave 3. Nine tracks in all. Released by Music On Vinyl on 180 gram vinyl. 180g black vinyl pressing original release year: 1995 music label: Music On Vinyl 2012 reviewed by Michu Meszaros 06/2016
