My musical education continues. I had not heard the term "shoegaze" until I read M83's last.fm biography. - Ontario Emperor

http://www.allmusic.com/cg... "...named after the bands' motionless performing style, where they stood on stage and stared at the floor while they played. But shoegaze wasn't about visuals -- it was about pure sound. The sound of the music was overwhelmingly loud, with long, droning riffs, waves of distortion, and cascades of feedback. Vocals and melodies disappeared into the walls of guitars, creating a wash of sound where no instrument was distinguishable from the other." - Ontario Emperor

I checked the tags for this song again, and it appears that "dream pop" is the tag I want to explore further at this (late) point. - Ontario Emperor

They are both good tags to explore *sagenod* - Michael W. May
