THE REVIEW
The EP that precedes the first, seminal album of My Bloody Valentine is a small gem in the form of a sonic trip lasting a quarter of an hour, capable of providing quite a few emotions to those who still want to immerse themselves in that mass of chaotic sounds, layered and overlapping, albeit present in a lesser degree compared to the following works.
The song that most adheres to the sound of the future is the opening as well as title track "You Made Me Realise," a frenzied journey characterized by Debbie Googe's tortured bass paired with an ethereal melody immersed in the musical noise, with a single pause (if it can be called that) granted by a minute of intense feedback, before plunging back into the sonic storm. The hypnotic odyssey of Beatles-like echoes "Slow" continues the discourse, along with the pop-folk of the sublime "Cigarette In Your Bed," while in the excellent "Thorn" and "Drive It All Over Me" we still hear the neurotic and naive punk roots of Kevin Shields reverberating.
Great for those who want to take short dives into the sound wall of the early "shoegazers."
