My Bloody Valentine is a shoegaze band formed in 1984 in Dublin, Ireland. The band’s best known lineup is Kevin Shields (vocals, guitar), Bilinda Butcher (vocals, guitar), Debbie Googe (bass) and Colm O’Ciosoig (drums). In 1991, the band released their second full length album “Loveless”, later declared one of the finest albums of the 1990s. The band struggled to record a follow up album and split in 1997. The band reunited in 2007 and performed several concerts the following year.
The band’s key member is guitarist/singer/composer Kevin Shields, a reclusive perfectionist and radically inventive guitarist/engineer. The band’s other original member is drummer/studio maven Colm O’Ciosoig; during their heyday MBV also included singer-guitarist Bilinda Butcher and bassist Debbie Googe. Their band shares its name with a low-budget Canadian slasher film.
Though they released a handful of EPs during the mid-1980s, only their two official albums Isn’t Anything (1988) and Loveless (1991), are considered representative of their sound: a distinct blend of noise rock, ambient, and off-kilter melodic pop. The songs were written by Shields, except for Touched, a short instrumental by Colm O’Ciosoig. In 1999 Pitchfork Media declared Loveless to be the greatest album of the 1990s; however in their 2003 revision of the list, it moved down to number two, swapping places with OK Computer. Kevin Shields has also been noted by Alan McGee as “a genius artist. A visionary.”, whilst an NME review of Loveless declared, “.

So, it's 2010. Is that remaster of Loveless coming up? Or is it all some conspiracy by Kevin Shields and Amazon?

So guys, do we think them retiring Loveless is worth possible new material? I'm going with yes, mainly because I doubt I'd ever get round to seeing them ;(

I wonder what Loveless would be like if Colm was actually able to play during the recording of it. His drumming on the earlier stuff is awesome.

"I think some Radiohead fans have their own view on that." The vast majority of Radiohead fans are inbred fuckwads and shouldn't be taken seriously.
