While i had the
remix edition of this
SLOWDIVE 12" in my possession for some years already, i only recently got my hands on the original version of the
5EP. Even though released in the same year as the
Souvlaki album, it's pretty different, and paving a way for the band to release the more experimental
Pygmalion album. There are drum computers involved and it's overall very electronic; one could say it's the missing link between dreampop and ambient techno. And even though i'm a sucker for loud guitars and therefore like their older work better than this, i must emphasize that i consider the sad
Country Rain, with the slide guitar and Rachel's soothing vocals, as one of the best Slowdive songs ever made. Extremely glad i finally have this EP on vinyl now.
