I should have known, fellow shoegaze junkie that I am. I do find that I prefer to get my fix from current artists that put a twist on it, like US, rather than from the often-too-faithful nugazers (I think Asobi Seksu is guilty of this sometimes). Good call on Stars, my favorite from that album. A Strangely Isolated Place is still the clear high water mark for me. Tough to pick a fave on that one but I'll have to go with A Letter Home...very long and slow to develop but it's all worth it when the distorted electric piano comes at the end, simple melody that it is, still perfect. Knuddelmaus from Far Away Trains Passing By is brilliant too of course. Funny I’ve been meaning to ask where you fall on Schnauss, I don’t think we’ve ever discussed him.
