"Kevin Shields always plays music in a really unegotistical way and everything he does just feels right; nothing's contrived or over-stated, which is one of the reasons why MBV music has been so enduring. At the moment he's rebuilding his studio and planning a Kevin Shields album and a new My Bloody Valentine album (to be recorded when they're all in their 40s). "
So, what are people expecting from this track? And does anyone truly believe there will be another Valentines LP? And aren't they all very nearly 40 anyway?

Those remixes he did for Primal Scream and Mogwai a couple of years ago are sooooo good, though.

Oh, c'mon! A speed-metal "Metronomic Underground" would be the best best thing ever, ever. It's one of those ideas so good that I want to try and record it myself, just so I can hear it.

Heh heh heh. He is the Buddha of pot, is he not? He looked sweetly comfortable on the Primal Scream tour.

Anyway -- sorry, John. Got Gish in 1991, saw them at the Whiskey that year, loved and adored the Pumpkins ever since and think that Zwan is pretty damn good. You'll have to accept that and my Depeche love both, I'm afraid. ;-)

Here's a review:http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/critic/review/0,1169,1513315,00.html

and a YSI of the performance.
In brief, Smith's reading is an acquired taste (I don't mind it, but I can see how others might), but Shields clearly still has it in him to make astonishing and transcendent music, and I'm baffled as to why he doesn't release more.

I finally listened to this all the way through ... it's incredible, 60 minutes of hazy guitar ambience, and Patti's chants blend in nicely so you don't have to try to understand the words if you don't want to. Damn. Now I gotta follow that up by listening to some Tim Hecker ...

He should just put some purely instrumental ambient whatever stuff out, he'd make such a natural Bill Nelson/Robert Fripp type.
OMG you tease!

'goodbye' from the lost in translation ost sounds a lot like a fripp song, i think 'bringing down the light'?, or something? it is nice.
i don't know though, i sometimes think he's in danger of having too trademark a sound. like i saw that jools holland had made a record with tom jones a while ago, and you know it's just going to be alternating tinkle tinkle tinkle WOAH WOOAH WOAH, two people just doing their thing. kevin's obviously a total genius and any sliver of his greatness would be good on its own, but i think my bloody valentine, with the melodies, and colm's drumming, bilinda singing etc - it's a pretty good vehicle for what he's doing.
