Title:
Nowhere CRE 74
Description:
Scaruffi
Nowhere , 7/10
Ride formed in Oxford in 1988, at the height of the dream-pop, shoegazing and "Mad-chester” boom. Barely 20 years old, Mark Gardener (vocals) and Andy Bell (guitar) began the saga that would lead them to success with a series of songs characterized by guitar distortion, elemental choruses and dance beats, gradually embellishing vocal harmonies and hardening the sound: Chelsea Girl and Close My Eyes (on the January 1990 debut EP for Creation), Like A Daydream (on the April 1990 EP Play).
Ride’s timbral and atmospheric quest thus lands on the polished sound of Nowhere (Creation, 1990). That of Polar Bear, the most psychedelic of the lot, Nowhere, the only overtly dissonant, and especially Paralysed, almost classical in its formal perfection, is a genre refined to the point of no longer being a type of music but merely the abstract definition of that type of music. The raw material comes from acidrock (Seagull even brings to mind the hippie epics of It’s A Beautiful Day, and Decay is an exaggeration of the sound effects employed by psychedelic folkrock), but reworked to the point of completely defusing its emotional component. It thus lacks a melody worth hearing, but perhaps the purpose was not to make songs but to compose songs for studio effects. Only Vapour Trail guesses at a decent chorus and Taste launches into a somewhat dragging cadence (Stone Roses style).
