Slowdive's 1995 Third Studio Album Pygmalion on LP.
Pygmalion is the third studio album by English rock band Slowdive, originally released on February 6, 1995 by Creation Records. It was the group's final album before their disbandment in 1995 and later reformation in 2014, and their only album with Ian McCutcheon, who had replaced Simon Scott on drums. Pygmalion is a significant departure from the shoegaze style that Slowdive had established in their previous two studio albums, Just for a Day and Souvlaki. The album features a more experimental sound tilted towards ambient electronic music, with sparse, atmospheric arrangements. This reissue is pressed on 140g black vinyl.
"Pygmalion has more in common with the emerging electronic scene than the Britpop sound that was by now sidelining grunge. Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell had begun to experiment with digital technology...It’s still shoegazing, but not as we know it...Dropped by a Gallagher-fixated McGee shortly after this record’s release, Slowdive morphed soon afterwards into Mojave 3. But it’s the soft-focus mist of Pygmalion that remains Halstead and Goswell’s masterpiece." - Wyndham Wallace, BBC Music
