English pop had gone through another musical enhancement in the early 90's. New bands were following the lead of Iris band My Bloody Valentine by emulating their dense guitar sounds generated by their array of effect pedals that they constantly employed. Musicians would look down on to their pedalboards and utilize every conceivable effect they could add to a song. The result was an intense audio sound with a wash of sonic enhancement to the music.  The musicians constantly looked down to their pedalboards as they pressed down on their many available effects. They didn't attempt to engage with the audience in any meaningful way. They kept looking down on the floor and they didn't bother to be showmen on stage. The sound was the thing along with the atmosphherics the pedals created. The English press sarcastically dubbed this the "Shoegaze movement. Here in America it was referenced as "Dream Pop".  Many bands updated their sound to include elements of Shoegaze and two distinct bands released albums that were heavily influenced by the new sound. 30 years ago in 1992, the band Lush released "Gala" and "Spooky" that further defined the genre.  The Darling Buds released their album "Erotica" and expanded on the critical and commercial fortunes of the new sound. We will be listening to these two great bands that alternated between heavy guitar sounds and gentle melodic and ethereal sounds.  Please have a look at these special interest sites.
