A forgotten song: 'In Mind' by Slowdive
"In Mind" is a incredible song, very rarely mentioned. In fact, their whole 5 EP is excellent. This song was recorded in 1993 and I think it was a starting point for their future Pygmalion album.
First, turn up the volume as high as you can...

PS: the Reload (aka Global Communication) remix is also excellent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvjdlyYbrdY

Hmm, this thread is looking a bit underrated
Good song - Slowdive is one of the more feasible reunions that I hope will happen (the band all seem to be on relatively good terms). They were so young at the time - reckon they deserve another crack at it...
The Souvaki reissue was excellent
I actually found myself listening to the remix CD a lot more than the original album. You're right that In Mind is a great song.
Personally I love Moussaka Chaos - great track, great title.
Apparently the reunion isn't likely
As Neil Halstead keeps saying he'd rather do his solo acoustic stuff. Shame really, I've only been listening to them in the past few years, reckon a tour would rake in tonnes of cash and get them some more fans.
All the albums are great, although I'd argue that the Pygmalion demoes are better than the album itself.
He changed his mind since August 2012?

I hope that Slowdive will reunite sometimes, esp. seeing their peers (MBV) having success these days.
This is absolutely stunning
Would almost argue this kinda thing paved the way for trance in the late 90's. Think I'm gonna have to give Pygmalion another spin
