I can listen to them already: "this is not an electronic project!". Bullshit! Electronic music must be, in my opinion, one of the most "open" music scenes there is (if not THE most). And the groundbreaking remixes Andrew Weatherall did for "Glider" were enough to warrant them a fair place in this database. But it isn't just about that. The sonic textures and atmospheres that My Bloody Valentine presented were so amazing and innovative in themselves that their influence could not be limited to the rock world alone. And proof of that is the constant name-checking of MBV by such different people as Lali Puna, Schneider TM, Laub and the a major part of the "indietronica" crowd (whatever "indietronica" really is), DJ Hell, 2 Many DJ's, Rinôcérôse and the whole Anticon posse, just to name a few. The way most of these projects work with sound and its textures show an undeniable MBV influence and that shouldn't be overlooked. My Bloody Valentine are becoming - and dare I say it - as far influential as a rock band as Velvet Underground were (and still are).
