Just For A Day (Expanded)

It's 1990. It's been a year since the last Stone Roses album, and it will be 4 more until the next one. Nirvana has yet to hit the mainstream. It's been a year since the last Jesus and Mary Chain or Cure album, and we don't even have U2's “Achtung Baby” yet. So what's to be excited about? Is there any hope for music at this moment? Then you begin to hear of this band called Ride. They have really loud, swirling guitars, and really soft, sleepy vocals. You look around on the charts, and there's nobody like them, except for awe-inspiring My Bloody Valentine, but they've been out of the music scene for two years. This is completely new music. This is the next generation of “shoegazing.” Now it's 1991. Suddenly this unknown band shows up in the charts, from Reading, England, with a few amazing EP's. This band is getting raves upon raves of critical acclaim, and after giving them a listen it's certain – there is absolutely nothing out there like this. You thought Ride was something else, but this, this is something completely different. Completely unique. Nobody has tried this before. This is Slowdive.

As loud as The Jesus and Mary Chain, but less abrasive. As soft as Eno, but with vocals.

Originally this rip was from the 2011 180g Audiophile Pressing to 24bit-96kHz, but sadly now no longer available...you should have been here though, man what a fuckin awesome rip this was.
