I think the title prettymuch says what you'll hear here.
This is a mix exclusively containing shoegazing, nügazing, and dreampop. If played at high volumes, the induced effects may include arousal, a loss of coordination, a spontaneous wish to not be wearing clothes anymore, and it's not entirely out of the question to find your legs giving way and writhing on whatever surface you have fallen onto in order to better feel the texture of it against your skin while these songs lovingly, lustingly caress your eardrums.
If you don't believe me, simply say so and i'll upload it for you to judge for yourself.

| 1 | Cocteau Twins : The Spangle Maker |
|
So i think that most people who've heard a good amount of Cocteau Twins' recorded output would agree that this is among their best songs. I am, obviously, among that number. But is that a reason why you should like it? No, you should like it because it's amazing. Fluh. And i thought this would be a perfect way to start this off...it just starts out with a beat. Like the beating of a heart. SHOW MORE

| 2 | Love Spirals Downwards : Eudaimonia |
|
So now the dreampop continues, with this haunting track. You're not quite sure what's hidden in all of those layers of sound, only that the end result is rather astounding.

| 3 | Boris : Parting |
|
I'd heard a couple of Boris albums before i heard Pink, so i knew they were a diverse band. But even so, this first track threw me for a loop when i heard it. I was like 'It remins me of slowdive." And i didn't mean that in a way like Boris was ripping them off (as it doesn't really sound a lot like Slowdive, that was just a first impression), i was just astounded. This is really a beautiful track.

| 6 | Starflyer 59 : A Kissing Song |
|
So now it's stepping up a bit to end the first side, it's a bit more upbeat, more pop in the sound. And i have to tell you, you'll be amazed at the ability of this song's chorus to get stuck in your head.

| 7 | Glifted : Is there any Always |

So this starts off side two, energetic and lovely. The repeating distorted bassline reminds me of some sort of EBM thing. And while the year's not over yet, this record almost definitely has a place on my top albums list of 2006. SHOW MORE

| 8 | Curve : Die Like a Dog |
|
So we're stepping back into dreampop territory with this very danceable song. If you're not listening to this by yourself, you should've finished the foreplay a bit ago and be in the middle of coitus...because it sounds to me like this song was meant for it.

| 13 | My Bloody Valentine : Blown a Wish |
|
I think anyone who doesn't have a turntable should buy a turntable. And then buy Loveless on vinyl. Because while it's an amazing album on cd, when you hear it on vinyl the effect is...well, orgasm-inducing, honestly. This is my favorite MBV song, musically and lyrically. "once in love, i'll be the death of you..." It ends with this...because it's like you're drifting back to sleep. Did you dream it all? SHOW MORE

i love this concept, and love the tape, but music has never made me want to take off my clothes. that's why i've never understood the mechanics of exotic dancing. but sometimes silence makes me want to undress.
