Wehey I'll write something here too just for the sake of it.

Anyone know The Dreamside?

Stolen from wikipedia:
"Their early music is most often described as Darkwave or ethereal wave, tending to the fairy end of the spectrum, although there are also elements of shoegazing, trip hop and industrial, and even early music. After the millennium the band changed their music to a metal-oriented style. They have been compared to everyone from This Mortal Coil and Tori Amos to The Gathering and Nightwish."

I don't really agree on the comparisons, but then again, I usually don't what with disliking the comparing-business in general... =)

I heard them first on faerieradio (faerieradio.com) with "Fairychild" ^^ Another really good song is "Above Below Around"

Incidentally, wth is shoegazing? o__O

sounds interesting - will have to give them a listen.

'shoegazing' was an early '90's UK indie movement - basically, where the performers spent the entire gig looking at their shoes rather than the crowd or actually (seemingly) getting any enjoyment from playing their own music.

vocals had a tendancy to be on the 'can't be bothered to sing, really' kind of side, while the music was very very slowed down droning indie-rock with hints of goth.

To be honest the whole scene could have done with being kicked up the arse and made to listen to Killing Joke

Thanks Michael for the info =D Shoegazing... sounds pretty wtf =P

Can't say I feel I missed out on the 'Shoegazing' phaze!
