Whirlpool: The Original Recordings

by Chapterhouse

supported by

Ashton Richards Whirlpool is certainly one of the best shoegaze/alternative albums of the '90s, I rate it lateral to In Ribbons, Loveless and Souvlaki. The lore of this album is that it required many tumultuous recording sessions at multiple locations with various producers. End result? A collage of music more closely resembling a compilation than an album. Favorite track: Thrasher.

Hailing from Reading in the late '80s / early '90s, Chapterhouse were leaders in the British Shoegazing movement. Rehearsing for well over a year before committing anything to demo for record companies, Chapterhouse quickly reached the top of their game with their peak arguably being a performance following Nirvana at the 1991 Reading Festival. This release consists of the original Whirlpool recordings from VHF Studios Rugby, Sawmills Cornwall, Stoneroom Studios London and Refuge in Reading. Featuring three extra tracks, including the never before released Thrasher and longer / alternate mixes of Something More, Rain and Guilt.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
