Slowdive: Catch the Breeze Live 1991 (audio remaster)

Minutiae: we repurposed and remastered a classic TV appearance by Slowdive to coincide with the 25-year anniversary of the release of "Just For A Day', their debut LP. Extracted video and audio from existing sources, specifically to lend more crispness and presence to the audio track. Due to the limitations of television audio in the early 90s, and the historical nature of this document, seemed the right thing to do. Following the audio remaster, we shifted the audio channel .65 seconds forward, so that it once again matches the video (all existing sources are out of sync). Two hours later, we have a document celebrating Slowdive that we're pretty proud of.

[@ald7248]

+ilovelctr She's lost her voice, though. I saw their Boston show in November, 2017 and she couldn't it make it through this song and they had to scratch "Machine Gun" and "She Calls" from the set list. Rachel has some pretty serious health issues (she's deaf in one ear and has vertigo) and she really doesn't seem up to performing this stuff any longer.

[@giants4105]

I think she is still very pretty!

[@cyber9ix]

When I heard this song, I was in my backyard (before that I was meditating) and man.. I was listening to this song with my eyes closed and really watching the wind, when the chorus came... I FELT LIKE MY SOUL WAS GOING TO GO WITH A STRONG WIND CURRENT. Before that, I was also listening to Circles by Mac and Metamorse ambulante by Raul Seixas, and this song was part of my playlist where the cover is Ouroboros, but before I hadn't given it enough attention. And no, this time I wasn't high. But, as the song says: ´´Catch the Breeze´´

[@carlosenriquegutierrezcare8777]

The music when I was in college was the best ever. Said everyone who’s ever been in college. But if you were at Uni from ‘88 to ‘91 in England, like me, that may well have been true. To see Slowdive, Ride, Blur, Wonderstuff, Charlatans, Stone Roses, Catherine Wheel, and then later, in my first job I. Sheffield, Pulp, Long Pigs, Suede, Auteurs....Fantastic times.

[@Hilaire_Balrog]

I realize your comment is 5 years old but it’s so true. I was in college as well in the USA but enjoying the same bands you mentioned and others. So much good music at the time from so many genres. I listened to everything from ministry and skinny puppy, to the cure, Cocteau Twins, the smashing pumpkins , sonic youth and of course the bands that came out of the northwest.

What is the feeling that emotes crying while listening to their music? I mean, really what is it? There's not too many bands out there that make me just cry for no reason at all and I'm a grown ass man! I'm gonna guess it generates an immediate and dualistic feeling of deep gratitude for being alive at the same time feeling sad and nostalgic for the past as well as hopeful for the future.
