The 50th Anniversary edition of the Genesis prog rock masterpiece The Lamb lies Down on Broadway just dropped. Were I not between jobs for an unreasonably long period of time, I would no doubt plop down my $120 or so bucks.
Here’s the remastered title track.
And here’s Classic Album Review for What It All Means:
The usual metaphoric analysis caveats apply…
It’s been over seven years since I posted a video featuring the spooky rabbit people, so here they are with “The Dwarf And The Horse.” I think it’s even from the same performance.
No, I don’t know what they’re singing. And no, I’m not a 100% sure this counts as Shoegaze, but I’m not sure what the hell else you would call it…

Castlebeat
It seems that every six years or so I put up a song from semi-obscure Japanese Shoegaze/Post-Rock band Speaker Gain Teardrop, so here’s Metaphorville.”

Sugar for the Pill is another Shoegaze band named after a Slowdive song, and “Falling Back To You” is a pleasant uptempo song.

Echodrone is a shoegaze band, but “The Point of Singularity” off their new album The Curvature of Sound is more of a soaring, Apollo-era Brian Eno-esque ambient piece.
Whatever it is, it’s quite pretty…
Roy Montgomery is Christchurch, New Zealand guitarist, and “Slow Heroes” is a beautiful, steady-state sort of instrumental shoegaze with a repeated musical motif.
