About a year ago I was introduced to Alcest, Spotify Resource
and I have since discovered Ulver. Spotify Resource
I absolutely love a lot of their music, different from one another though these bands are, I still love the feel of shoegaze. What do you guys think?

dir="ltr"> I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth.

I'll check out the two you put up also, thanks. |

I also have a few other songs such as "Crank" (Catherine Wheel), and stuff from Autumn's Grey Solace, as well as "Only Shallow" by My Bloody Valentine. While All About Eve also dabbled in the genre on Ultraviolet ("Phased", ftw), most of their other stuff is typically filed under Goth Rock or Folk Rock. Aside from those though, I don't have much exposure to shoegaze.

Is the pain of not knowing, worth the price of saying nothing? |

The problem is that the term is thrown about so much anymore, that I often question whether it is a genre at this point. It seems to have been engulfed into different sub-genres of the indie movement.
Yet with that aside, I find that the movement has brought a lot to the evolution of music... so interesting.
much peace
