What I find the most amazing with Slowdive is that even their "rejected songs" are wonderful pieces of art.

You have an incredible music taste I don't know if you are the same guy commenting on the elliott smith videos cause he has the same eraserhead pfp but I love you

Why nobody talks about song 1 ? It’s such a beautiful underrated song

[@Jorenanthony]

Yes indeed. These songs are all very good. My bid to god, however, rests on the instrumental last track.

It is interesting how songs that were not the content of an album are better than songs that were part of the content of a 100% constituted album. And without a doubt, Slowdive is the best example of this. And we could say "I want this on Spotify" or "I want to hear it in studio album quality," but come on: that scratchy, retro, lo-fi sound is a plus here.

[@skrillex9090againAJ]

Honestly the scratchy lofi sound sounds so nostalgic idk why. Definitely hits different

[@HauntedHarmonics]

apparently this WAS supposed to be the album, originally. the label rejected the first 20 songs they submitted and told them to go back into the studio and “write something good” this time

[@coldercoronet6248]

I think just for a day is a great album. These songs are great too. To this day nothing gives me the same feeling that Primal gives me. It’s so intense

[@luriawinter2775]

I wish they would release a remastered version of all these songs one day. Hide yer eyes, I saw the sun, Joy and I thought I saw are one of my favourite tunes ever. Ironically I kinda like slowdive's unreleased stuff even more than their official LPs.

[@devilxcity]

I Thought I Saw should've made it on Souvlaki and I've always said this! Nobody ever says this is their favorite unreleased but to me...the composition is up there with When The Sun Hits, 40 Days, etc.

[@HipHopAus]

Stars That Shine (aka Untitled No. 3) and Silver Screen are two of my favourite Slowdive songs. Studio versions that kept the original essence of the songs in tact would be absolutely amazing.

[@unemployablegraduate]

What was Alan McGee thinking of? Some of these songs are great. Especially like ‘Joy’...you can hear the Siouxie / Joy Division influence there, and it would have been an interesting addition to the usual ethereal floatiness.

[@thechroniccinephile]

True but we might not have got souvlaki had they done this as an album first. I wish sleep and silver screen made it to souvlaki

Няхай мой каментар згубіцца сярод астатніх, але я не магу ня выказаць свае каханне да гэтага гурту. Гэтая музыка са мной заўсёды: калі мне кепска, калі мне добра, калі я кудысьці іду альбо нават проста стаю, гляджу на неба і мару аб чым-небудзь, што наўрад ці збудецца. Музыка slowdive сапраўды чароўная і мне складна растлумачыць свае пачуцці. Але, сапраўды, нават штосьці са мной адбываецца, калі слухаю іх песні, быццам я лунае ў аблоках, быццам больш няма неякай сувязі паміж мной і зямлёй і я толькі лячу ўдалячынь, дзе, бачыш, закат, які пакрывае ўсё чырвонам полымем і акрамя мяне і гэтага закату нічога і нікога няма... толькі я і бясконцыя, чырвоныя аблокі. Дзякуй, slowdive, пішыце і далей гэтую чароўную і цудоўную музыку. Вітанне за Беларусі!

Some really great tracks, I'm a big fan of Slowdive but there are a load here that I've never heard before. Would be nice if they could release these in HQ or as a CD album at some point. I suppose that some of these were tracks that Alan McGee (or maybe the band themselves) decided to shelve. 20 odd years on and hopefully it becomes apparent that there are some real gems here.
