[TripleX808]

Always loved this. Stonking tune!

[litemiifire]

love this! 

[rafa777puma]

What glorious memories! Exellent choice for video background! It's exactly where I go when I listen to this.

[Nikasgeo]

Appetite for souvlaki

[pdoghb5]

This song could not have been made by humans. Clearly on a different realm. Brilliant tune.

[myRadiotron]

@pdoghb5 not made by humans ... correct.

[Nexoric]

Shoegaze is the best rock music I have ever heard... Too bad for the other people who hasn't heard this ... Has the best bass lines and has the best melodies... AND VOCALS

[firelightstudio]

In space, no one is there to hear your guitar gently weep.



[McPfoot]

rjd2 sampled this, didn't he?

[iblamesummers]

if only MBV had basslines this good...

[quantumreality2009]

@iblamesummers they dont need to...it's a different sound,,,just as unique and mesmerizing....

[riseup20twelve]

@iblamesummers you wouldn't be listening to this if it wasn't for MBV. Don't diss the innovators

[kkeruak]

so divine... pure pleasure

[universalxbeing]

Ah, but then...

[bigpipestyle]

Dat bassline

[PatrickHighlander]

In space, no one can hear your guitars cry...

[lucifersangel61]

Thee best song ever

[starfishantenna]

Awesome tune.

[solitudefreak]

Best thing ever.

[QuintenLe]

which album is this from again?

[xgmb45]

@QuintenLe Souvlaki 

[gatoni93]

this title should belong to a song-tribute to souvlaki,but anyway that's a great sound....we love souvlaki and greece!!!!

[nothingsafe84]

A first time for me too and words just can't describe how I feel...instantly clicked with it

[OneEyedJack1982]

They are the Cocteau twins' twins

[jackineedo]

Words can't describe the beauty of Slowdive's music

[KKLIKUA]

Heavenly Cosmic Noise !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beastieboyzx]

gigantesco ruido celestial.

[Arrivald]

One of my favourite discoveries lately, this song is so beautiful. Unfortunately it's one of a kind in their discography and no other song sounds like this.

[Flexipop76]

@Arrivald

you should listen to "Cocteau Twins".

[bigfoot799]

why do you have an ad on here? you don't even own this music.

[saitorul]

i think i just became one with the universe

[elkiquej]

This never gets old, it still feels like the first time i listened to it.

[VSchoonderwaldt]

I stil love this so much

[ulver121]

just amazing band of all time

thank´s for share

:)

[bibiotz1]

as if this song didn't make me space out enough, they had to combine it with this clip. i don't think i'm coming down anytime soon

[13scarfare13]

Souvlaki is a Greek fast food!!!!

[az0r22]

@13scarfare13 Otan eisai sto diastima re , sou erxontai munchies kai xriazese soublaki , gi auto souvlaki space station u see ?

[TheJKTOMIC]

@az0r22 Θα φάγανε κανένα καλοκαίρι σουβλάκια στην Ελλάδα και την ακούσανε και σου λένε κάααατσε ρε φίλε να βγάλουμε κανένα άσμα προς τιμής του!!!

[az0r22]

@TheJKTOMIC :D hell yeah

[PanosDCC]

@TheJKTOMIC Ότι και να λέτε είναι γαμάτο το κομμάτι...

[TheJKTOMIC]

@PanosDCC Χαλάρωσε δεν είπαμε κάτι αρνητικό.Εξάλλου το κομμάτι σε στέλνει όντως στο διάστημα...

[PanosDCC]

@TheJKTOMIC Δν το είπα αρνητικά, χαβαλέ έκανα, άραξε...

[deathspasm9]

this is fucking amazing stoned

[max888123]

This band kind of sounds like My Bloody Valentine but with more coherent lyrics.

[LilRedRasta]

5.59 minutes of my life, just changed my life.

[asimaniac93]

Souvlaki is meat on a stick. What a thinker...

[WillandDrew4u]

most of the gazey dreamy stuff doesn't come close to matching the wonder and awe of the progenitors (cocteaus,mary chain,and my bloody valentine) but this does.frakkin' outstanding!!!!

[AndrewJohnClive]

Very cool song - listening to this in 1994 was revelationary!! Produced by Brian Eno too!

[xxdanxexx]

2:25

Almost looks like the cover of "Worlds Beyond the Veil" by Mithras (Brutal Death Metal Band)

[mrwiggle69]

it knocked me off my chair!!! love n light 2 everybody

[worldwidebuttons]

This music is Amazing It should be taught in college

[slackerati]

@worldwidebuttons i wanna go to shoegaze school.. ; ) 

[occultologist]

this is nothing like skin head music.

[mycocoro]

timeless! timeless! slowdive at their finest and this is one of their masterpieces. actually, they had made only masterpieces! slowdive are the legend. undoubtedly.

[Ninja4280]

Wow, I'd never heard of this band before today but they're amazing. It's VERY rare that I enjoy a band this much upon a first hearing. I guess I'm a bit young for this band (only a few years old when this album came out), but man, these guys are great. They deserved to be bigger, but at least their influence is still felt

[clevohardcore]

Purely amazing band.

[AbsyntheGurl]

siempre una de mis favoritas

[TheTp1994]

SIckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I like bum bumsssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssssssssssssss

[moondancer162]

I bet if you listen to this when your sleeping, you'll have some interesting dreams. I mean trippy, nothing dirty intended. Lol.

[BearWindAppleyard]

@moondancer162 Like flying through a mix of the universe, a coral reef sea and those colour graphics from 2001 A space odyssey or something...

[TheJuggadui]

เป็นเพลงที่ชอบมาก เพราะเป็นเพลงแนว Shoegaze วงแรกที่ฟัง ลอยๆ หมุนๆ คว้างๆ ดี

[TheJuggadui]

This's seem my dreaming. I can imagine so it's very cool before Shoegaze song. I like this.

[estereohed]

busco baterista para banda de Los Angeles... tenemos lockout y nos late el kraut, post punk, y shoegaze. ahora es 8/30/11... ke onda?

[bloodskid]

Simply astounding...shoegazing is an AWESOME genre.

[ForgottenRomantic]

Damn i like shoegazing!...

[fatalitys183]

they know something that other musicians dont. that is clear.

[everuck]

@fatalitys183 you're damn right !

[blackkat77]

aw fuck yeah!

[Creem16]

i came

[lauralockrey]

This song always reminds me of sex

[AbsyntheGurl]

I really love this song, its such amazing. Can't explain.. makes me feel like traveling, so so high!

[kurono1822]

This song is awesome, I really love the whole album...

[tsyrlb]

i love this!

like this song? Check out majesty crush as well, they are along these lines.

only had one full album, but damn was it great.

[elleybelley91]

what would it be like to make love to this song

[DinosaurJr169]

amazing !if you guys have the you should give Rems Floating Chandelier a listen:)

[markob1892]

The more I hear it the more I think this could be my favourite song of all time

[anonymeprod]

waw...

[carlos7muzik]

Another 7 Mile Bridge Cid Album... Priceless Shizzle!

[Ombrenuit]

This track is awesome high at night

[csweeny9]

I remember when this album was released... I was a teen and my ceiling was decorated with glow in the dark stars. I remember laying on my bedroom floor gazing. :)

[meskk305]

Heard this track and album on cid at the 7 Mile Bridge, Marathon Key, FL. at night..... back in the day, priceless!

[meskk305]

12 idiots didn't like this track

[ilaydaksk]

@meskk305 They must be deaf.

[Atticwalk]

it must be a totally jaw-dropping experience for people who hear this song for the first time, but to be honest, I bought this record when it was released, and hearing this song again and again is still awesome...

[soccerteas1]

@Atticwalk jawdroppingly shit

[Bayview05]

@Atticwalk I am here hearing the song for the first time. I've always liked shoegaze but this just BLEW ME AWAY. My Bloody Valentine has nothing on this... wow..... I haven't felt this great from hearing a song since I heard Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and that was 7 years ago. Jaw dropping indeed. Why the fuck did shoegaze die out so soon after it began? This should have evolved into a standalone genre.

[1Zedhead]

@Bayview05 You should check out Swervedriver. Jaw- dropping indeed. The finest around.

[PeterVerzijl]

@Atticwalk

My jaw just dropped.....

[Vanodi]

@Atticwalk Im listening to it for the first time right now :). This is such a fucking awesome experience!

[Pyramidrevenge]

Amazing song, amazing soundscapes.

[anothercountyheard]

this fucking rules

[Abaddon151]

Friend of mine just reccomended this genre to me. I have to say, I appreciate that.

[Rechiau]

Shoegaze? This should called Spacegaze

[NOWAYimawesome]

@Rechiau

they're actually at the border of shoegaze and dream pop

[Mr4scoreand20]

@NOWAYimawesome c'mon man stop trying to break genres down and split hairs. They are shoegaze and only shoegaze because they were part of the shoegaze movement and there is no such thing as the dream pop movement

[IStehSHIT]

*notice how radiohead/radiohead's producer stole the ending of this song*

[NormalInc]

@IStehSHIT

Karma police?



[IStehSHIT]

@NormalInc 10 points! :)

[csweeny9]

@IStehSHIT I never caught that before, but I hear Climbing Up the Walls! Wow.

[kentaokabe]

There's no need to compare Slowdive with MBV. Both are awesome and phenomenal shoegaze bands. Love & respect for both bands ♥

[NightRanger77]

@kentaokabe Though Slowdive is a tad better. :)

[rut8888]

big tune.

[verifyyouare18or]

schön

[jokudorka]

Kinda reminds me of Laika & the Cosmonauts. And also other surf I've heard, but not as much as Laika. I've got to admit that I prefer Laika over this as it moves more around, or feels so. But this is also damn great!

[playaeyez17]

They truly truly almost! I mean ALMOST matched MBV's "Loveless" here for best shoegaze ever. This could have been the successor lead single to that album & would be seen as the revolutionary new song for & album that never came out (yet hurry shields!). Of course the end all be all is still MBV's "To Here Knows When"..sonically, music had nowhere else to go after these 2 songs from the best in genre. Nothing well ever match Loveless but this will always be the closest a group ever came! (CLOSE!)

[djeboe]

This album + Chapterhouse "Whirlpool" + Lush "Spooky" + Ride "Nowhere" + MBV "Loveless" = swirlcore bliss-out greatest hits. Not that there are not other albums that could be in there, but those are all fooking CRACKING records.

[addick1965]

Great song :)

[Gmancrap]

Loveless is trash compaired to this album. My honest opinion.

[playaeyez17]

@Gmancrap I forgive you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gmancrap]

No need.

[BreakRightIntoHeaven]

This album isn't QUITE on par with Loveless for me.

But it's pretty fucking close.

[eldiagrama]

@BreakRightIntoHeaven Is loveless a good one 4 you ?

[poum1976]

Amazing video. Perfect song.

[fatt21112matt]

so damn good!

[dunkelheit616]

I just had the most peaceful panic attack

[mscubana]

If shuttles to Mars become a possibility during my lifetime, I already what song I'll be playing on my Smartphoneholagramtelekineticq­uadruplexhydrolater :)

[darthsaya]

Completely out of space! A gift to our senses!!! i feel like slowly diving into space...

[Sanp0]

11 people dont know jack about music

[jeffrecordman1958]

Unfucking believable. amazing video for an Amazing Band, Thanks.

[fuckshit1productions]

2:33 space boner?

[planesovertheskyline]

@fuckshit1productions spacewoody ftw.

[buecht]

So amazing. Most beautiful song ever.

[ymchtksh]

I don't need any rocket for space travel. I don't need any drug which makes me high. All I need is this video. Thank you for posting this!!

[BabylonAGoGo]

what idiots hit the dislike button...idiots that's who.

[SanctuaryAustralia]

Dancing to this one in the nightclub was something special.

[jimarasthebest]

Παντου υπαρχει ενα σουβλακι.Φοβερο κομματι...

[serumclx]

this was made back in 1994 wow 

[loser5million]

Who else is seeing smiley faces in the exploding stars? :) such a great band..

[buecht]

@loser5million I think you took some drugs, haha. Would fit quite nicely with this music ;)

[jaydock1]

this makes me want to have another psychedelic experience. or go camping. or both.

[KingCrimson776]

The video and music hugely compliment each other here, this is great.

[Mr4scoreand20]

This is the greatest most massive delay in the history of music

[zacharyfmtaylor]

I was just beginning to forget how music can make you feel. I hear this and my memory comes back.

[Technographie]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

[SwitchandtheSpur3]

*jaw drops* This is amazing.

[Blissile]

It's certainly got that special edge.

[bearspeas]

Amazing. Who ever did this has my sword.

[bearspeas]

Amazing. Who ever did this has my sword.

[blueuhhuh]

what a mindfuck.

[nanashinano]

On a disturbing note, it looks like the person who uploaded this video passed away a year ago. Did you know that after you die your videos become property of Youtube?

[maxsims11]

@nanashinano How can you tell if a video is property of Youtube ?

[MrNadiez]

@nanashinano Can you imagine where he'd be in his career if he didn't die? His music is beautiful.

[sabrichen]

the 9 people who dislikde the song must be deaf....

awesome song!

[futuristfood]

YUMMY

[originofnoise]

OMG!!! ♥

[IONCannon82]

I heard this on top gear yesterday and lost my mind i was so excited.

[sirks19]

LoL, the video ID looks like some space station name

[zochirho]

I can't think of any other band with such rich atmospheric sonic texture as Slowdive.

[pawnsacrifice1]

I went to see this lot at the Town & Country club with an old girlfriend in about 1991 and it was possibly the worst gig i ever went to.

20 years on. This doesn't actually sound too bad.

[raspyshiit]

@pawnsacrifice1 it's probably because you haven't heard anything like it, i read some book ages ago when art based topics are new/unheard of people tend to dislike it at first and then realise that the only reason why they disliked it was because there was nothing else to compare it with. meaning that slowdive were well ahead of their time and MBV too.

[killnostalgia]

I'm the 666'th person to like this video.

Great tune.

[beowulven]

Dubwise.

[Discoduck76]

When you're life is turned up and down.

Put on The Souvlaki Space Station - Slowdive.

[atainder]

Shoegaze is the pinnacle of live band music.

[idancetothevu]

i am seriously, speechless.

feels like a wave of euphoria just coming over me.

i'm so glad i found this

[UltimateVenom]

someone should make a shoegaze soundtrack to the film 2001: a space oddysey

[zacharyfmtaylor]

@UltimateVenom ABSOLUTELY!

[larrywprice2]

@UltimateVenom  They all ready did.... the original soundtrack.

[kipperwacker]

best song ever written IMHO; your video for this is wonderful, i have to say. but have you thought of using some visuals from x3 terran conflict (or reunion, even)? or even, a nice comparison to that early bit in the remake of solaris when he's approaching the space station? well - if u don't get there first, perhaps someone else will... xx anyway - fantastic and tyvm for this. beautiful is the only word to use...

[JuicyMsBERRY]

This video goes with tha song very well! I LOVE Slowdive.

[aliencrap]

Man, I haven't listened to this in a while. Loves.

[MythicShot]

The album "Souvlaki" is brilliant....i recommend it heartily

[Zehydra106]

awesome song. Haven't listened to a lot of Slowdive, but this is the 2nd best ambience song I've ever heard.

[carsarecrashing]

every time it's heard, it's great.

[pentadinari]

Listening to this song is like travelling through the Universe.....don´t you think so?

I love it, it´s modern for its time, it´s original....fantastic!
