Greetings, I've hardly seen any visuals of Slowdive outside the Souvlaki/Pygmalion/ask me tommorow album covers, and just wanted to know who is who in Slowdive. With the photo on the cover of Souvlaki is it (from left to right) Neil, Christian, Nick, Simon and Rachel. It's quite obvious with pymalion as they are playing on stage at the time, but the faces are a bit obscured. Any help would be appreciated.

Larry ------------------------------- Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 13:00:30 -0500 (EST) From: Maston@aol.com Subject: Mogwai's new album So, I managed to get ahold of a promo copy of Mogwai's new album (in stores in the US April 8) called Ten Rapid (on Jetset). I must say that I would highly recommend this. Comparisons to Slowdive seem a bit farfetched at points, at least on this release. However, what they do sound like is a reverby, dreamy Bedhead, with some Windy + Carl thrown in for good measure (on New paths to Helicon PT. 1 and End, particularly). If you get the chance, pick one up.
