Shoegaze vs Nugaze
I've been compiling 90's and 00's 'shoegaze' stuff into two decade specific mixes on and off for the last few weeks. In putting this stuff together I couldn't help but feel that some of the later 'nugaze' (sorry) is pretty good and possibly surpasses much of the original material (MBV excepted). I've posted my mixes on mixcloud below:

My question to my fellow DiSers is 'can bands that revisit a genre improve on it?'
Oh, and apologies if any of my choices (and omissions) offend anyone. Looking forward to the usual abuse, scathing comment and possibly complete disinterest in my first topic on DiS...
