The 1986 Listening Post - Breathless - The Glass Bead Game

Breathless - The Glass Bead Game



#226/1371
June 15 1986
Breathless
The Glass Bead Game
Genre: Shoegaze
3.75 out of 5

Highlights:
Count on Angels

The real hero here is the percussionist Tristam Latimer Sayer. Everyone else, including the vocalists, are hanging on his pulsing, determined rhythms. 
This is early Shoegaze, if I am not mistaken. And, at times, I hear them as a conduit between that burgeoning sound and the lofty elegies of the Moodies and other post sixties hippy sounds.
