O blimey, that 'nu-gaze' tag isn't going anywhere is it? This Invada compilation even goes so far as to appropriate the term for part of its subtitle, drawing on an assortment of shoegaze-influenced bands in an attempt to capture a particular scene. This music tends to be united by its preoccupation with reframing conventional guitar-based indie tropes with excessive digital effects and morphing production techniques, and has as much to do with the "dream-pop" school as it does the more conventional shoegaze list of references. On the one hand, there's a shimmering effulgence to the hyperactive wall-of-sound textures of Rumskib's 'Hearts On Fire' that recalls the Cocteau Twins, while on the other The Fauns' "The Sun Is Cruising" takes a more muscular My Bloody Valentine-style approach, piling on the distortion. The only really big name on the compilation is Ulrich Schnauss, who offers up an edit of "Stars", resulting in a slightly different version of the song to that found on his album, Goodbye. Apparently it's not just the music that's been dug up from the shoegaze time capsule: the diabolical band names of the age have made an unwelcome return too it would seem: Presents For Sally are probably the most heinous offenders on this front, although Soundpool give them a decent run for their money. Genre fans will be pleased to find plenty of new bands to investigate thanks to this compilation, but if you're not especially interested in 'gaze whether 'shoe' or 'nu') don't for a moment expect to be converted by this collection.
