Lush “Spooky” (1992)

Just one my top ten records ever, a true jewel of the shoegaze area birth, among other records also in my top ten like Slowdive “Blue Day”, My Bloody Valentine “Isn’t anything”, Ride “Nowhere”, Chapterhouse “Whirlpool”, Catherine wheel “Ferment”, the first singles of Moose. This Lush record is so perfect that several songs, even if in the middle of the album, make you think this is the end, this is the saddest / best song they kept for the end, for the end of the concerts, for the end of album, but no, there is more! Lush did create their own shoegaze sound/way, so different from Slowdive/Ride/My Bloody Valentine but also different from the veteran The Jesus & Mary Chain and their stunning debut “Psychocandy”. Strange that among a few others we had to wait for 30 years for getting a vinyl reissue, the music industry is moving/evolving in mysterious ways…
