Various Artists Waves of Distortion (The Best of Shoegaze 1990-2022) Double LP

The album brings in some of the OG (original 'gazer) classics - Ride's peerless 'Vapour Trail', Lush's 'Sweetness and Light' from 1990 and Chapterhouse's 'Pearl' from 1991. They are all incredible and timeless tunes. Then there are some others that were never really a part of that other great music press construct, The Scene That Celebrates Itself, in the case of The Telescopes and their fantastic 1991 single 'Flying', and Spirea X's 'Chlorine Dream' from the same year - both are indicative of the post-rave psychedelia that coloured everything at the time and fit perfectly within the shoegaze scene at the time.
