My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise

'You Made Me Realise' was the circa-'Isn't Anything' LP that made critics stand up and take notice of the brilliant things MBV were up to; it developed some of the stunning guitar sounds that would become the band's trademark, and features tracks which (while more pop-oriented than those of Isn't Anything) are just as innovative. Thankfully, both 'You Made Me Realise' and' Feed Me With Your Kiss' (the band's other Isn't Anything single) aren't as difficult to find as their earlier work -- between the two of them, there's practically an album's worth of work. Each of the five tracks on this EP are worth hearing -- standouts are the incredible title track, "Slow," and "Thorn."
