Cult band the Velvet Underground are said to be an influence on early dreampop bands. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Lush

dream pop ---> Slowdive The Chameleons Pale Saints "Dif Juz"---> 4AD Smooth tunes used Cocteau Twins ideas with delayed guitars and layered loops to help the tunes get that Dream like effect.
