DREAM POP

VA - Fade Into You, Wonderful Dream Pop (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3 

Coined in the late 1980's to describe the slow, jazzy psychedelia by the British duo A.R. Kane, the term “dream pop” soon came to describe a genre of its own. Coalescing first around the trendsetting London label 4AD, the new sound discovered whole musical universes inside its gauzy lullabies. Three decades later, dream pop possesses a rich, generation-spanning canon of its own.

Dream pop is thought to relate to the "immersion" in the music experienced by the listener. The term "dream pop" is credited to Alex Ayuli of A.R. Kane, who used the phrase to describe the band's sound. It was subsequently adopted by music critic Simon Reynolds to describe the nascent shoegazing scene in the UK. In the 1990s, "dream pop" and "shoegazing" were interchangeable and regionally dependent terms, with "dream pop" being the name by which "shoegazing" was typically known in America.  Dream Pop does not rely on "walls of sound" (as in Shoegaze) or heavily distorted, very driving guitars (as in Noise Pop).

The AllMusic Guide to Electronica (2003) defined Dream Pop as "an atmospheric subgenre of alternative rock that relies on sonic textures as much as melody". Common characteristics are breathy vocals, the use of guitar effects, and a densely produced sound. The music tends to focus on textures and moods rather than propulsive rock riffs. Lyrics are often introspective or existential in nature. In the view of Simon Reynolds, dream pop "celebrates rapturous and transcendent experiences, often using druggy and mystical imagery". According to Rachel Felder, dream pop artists often resist representations of social reality in favour of ambiguous or hallucinogenic experiences. (Wikipedia)

Here are 75 classic cuts that represent the Dream Pop sound. Enjoy!
