Curve, “Doppelganger” (Anxious, 1992)
Debut album from these shoegaze titans found them honing their sound to razor-sharpness on music that wielded the massive, ravishing sweep of My Bloody Valentine with a Helmet-like machine-tooled attack.
Try 1, 3.
5/5/12

Curve, “Cuckoo” (Anxious, 1993)
Second album from this great shoegaze band was a surprise detour from the all-out assault of its predecessor, into spooky, dislocated soundscapes that entrance, then sting without warning. Even better than the debut.
Try 2, 4, 5
