Slowdive - Souvlaki (1993)


El otro día tuve la suerte de asistir a un concierto de The Pop Group.Fue espectacular y tuvo su punto emotivo.No para mí,claro.

Entre el público se encontraba Mario Gil, teclista de La Mode, mítico grupo de los 80.Cuando The Pop Group finalizaron el primer tema, Mario Gil gritó:¡30 años esperando este momento!¡Ya me puedo morir tranquilo!, ante el asombro del grupo (que, obviamente, no entendió nada) y del público.

A mí me gustaría hacer lo mismo en los siguientes conciertos, y se puede tomar como una carta a los Reyes Magos ya que estamos en tan señaladas fechas:

Adorable
The Boo Radleys
Ride (otra vez)
Kitchens Of Disctinction

y... Slowdive.

¡Qué vuelvan ya ,joder!




All Music dice:"Though not as big and swirling as Just for a Day, there's more of an attempt to put advanced song structure and melody in place rather than just craft infinitely appealing, occasionally thunderous mood music.

Everything is simplified, as if Brian Eno's presence on two songs -- he contributes keyboards and treatments and co-wrote one tune after turning down the band's invitation to produce -- hammered home the better aspects of "ambient" music. This is no Music for Airports though. On the opening "Alison," the largely uplifting "When the Sun Hits," and the darkly blissful "Machine Gun," Slowdive are still capable of mouth-opening, spine-tingling flourishes.

They've found a way to be quiet, moving, and aggressive simultaneously, mixing trance-like beauty with the deepest delayed guitar sounds around, a sound at once relaxing, soothing, and exciting, and most of all harshly beautiful." by Jack Rabid
