## Appears on

### [Alison](https://waxonia.com/track/slowdive--alison/)

*1993 · Creation · No. 3 in [Shoegaze](https://waxonia.com/genre/shoegaze/)*

Savaged on release and now the genre's most beloved song. The guitars shimmer rather than roar, and the melody underneath survives every layer piled on it.

### [Souvlaki Space Station](https://waxonia.com/track/slowdive--souvlaki-space-station/)

*1993 · Creation · No. 7 in [Shoegaze](https://waxonia.com/genre/shoegaze/)*

Dub techniques applied to guitar music, with Eno's fingerprints somewhere in the background. The most spatially adventurous thing anyone in the scene attempted.

### [Alison](https://waxonia.com/track/slowdive--alison/)

*1993 · Creation · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)*

Shoegaze with the songwriting left in. Everything blurred except the melody, which is why this one survived the backlash that buried the rest.
