The "Leave Them All Behind" single is the greatest thing ever, you've got LTAB, a nicely roughed up version of "Chrome Waves" and "Grasshopper".

Tracks 3->6 on the first album
Twisterella
I got Mark Gardener to play "In a Different Place" when he came to Detroit earlier this year. One of these days I'll post the pics from that on my website.

--The remasters, though, any comment on their improved headroom?

'Vapour Trail' for me. My tape of 'Nowhere' died from too much rewinding back to that song.

you're not alone, "Taste" is the best one, with "Seagull" a close second.

Big swirly dreampop guitars, angelic harmonies, long greasy hair and a drum sample from "When the Levee Breaks."
I am so easily pleased...
Cross-post... whoa...
I was telling Goldrush to DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. If Chapterhouse want to help, they're certainly welcome to!

This thread remains hilarious.
Revive because I've been wtching old Ride videos and listening to the Today Forever EP.
Better that than starting the requisite Ride polll...
Ha ha, the old feud with Truck that got dismantled and burned for firewood in the end, how sweet. ANd all those posts were prior to meeting Mark Gardener down Sonic Cathedrals. What a sweetie! The twinkliest eyes in pop, as well.
― Masonic Boom, Monday, 4 June 2007 12:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Answer to thread: 'Howard Hughes', closely followed by 'Leave Them All Behind' and then 'Grasshopper'. Or maybe 'Dreams Burn Down'. Or 'Today'. The top 2 are definitely set in stone.

Shame the rest of Going Blank Again is so shite.

I've changed my vote to Today Forever. The video EP and all that. Like Rave Music with Rickenbackers. God, I want a rickenbacher.
― Masonic Boom, Monday, 4 June 2007 12:49 (sixteen years ago) link
"Nowhere" always.
― Pashmina, Monday, 4 June 2007 12:56 (sixteen years ago) link
"Dreams Burn Down" is really magnificent. That wall of guitar in the chorus was especially effective live, oh MAN.
― Trayce, Monday, 4 June 2007 12:56 (sixteen years ago) link
though I have to say really really early Ride live stuff tat I watched this weekend, Drive Blind was just amazing, with this crazy bottleneck slide and feedback solo in th emiddle them they segued straight back into the riff without missing a beat. how much do I love tis band?
Today Forever wwas where the early noisy stuff merged perfectly with this sort of floating cocteau ethereality.
(plus there was that bit in the video where Mark and Andy were singing so close together it looked like their noses were almost touching and you just wanted them to turn aroud and give each other a big snog and ... whooo, I think that's the painkillers talking! Never mind me.)

They were a lot better live than than the other shoegazers too. They used to pound the hell out of their guitars - like a pre pubescent stooges or something.

"In a different place"
― baaderonixx, Monday, 4 June 2007 14:55 (sixteen years ago) link
On record: either Seagull or Close My Eyes.
Live: either Seagull or Chelsea Girl.
