It will see the light of day in 2008! I'm excited!

Some info:

"With nearly two years of filming under his belt, filmmaker
Eric Green of L.A.-based Hypnagogia Films is nearing
completion of his documentary chronicling the 1985-91
shoegaze movement of Great Britain. Titled Beautiful Noise,
it’s about the influence of the Cocteau Twins, Jesus &
Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine and the subsequent rise
of outfits such as Ride, Curve, Slowdive, Lush,
Chapterhouse, Swervedriver, Pale Saints and Boo Radleys, as
well as more ambient-inclined and experimental artists like
Flying Saucer Attack, AR Kane and Seefeel.
According to Hypnagogia, these stories will be told through
contemporary interviews and via archival concert footage,
outlining how, for the most part, the groups “resisted
having a marketable image and sound, and how their
individuality, while sabotaging their mainstream commercial
appeal, eventually led to an indelible impact on modern
music.”
Among the personalities interviewed for the film: Robin
Guthrie and Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins), Jim Reid and
Bobby Gillespie (Jesus & Mary Chain), Kevin Shields (My
Bloody Valentine), Dave Pearce (Flying Saucer Attack), Mark
Gardener (Ride), Neil Halstead (Slowdive), Martin Carr (Boo
Radleys), Emma Anderson (Lush), Alan Moulder, Alan McGee,
Wayne Coyne, Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan and Robert Smith.
The film company adds that the documentary is a labor of
love—“a DIY, passion project.” Aficionados of the
shoegaze scene would no doubt agree, and suggest that such a
welcome project is long overdue."

Sounds good, that name (shoegaze) doesn't do the music
justice, theres quite a diverse lot there. Happens a lot
though. I'd be into seeing this.

I agree, it's a misleading and stupid term, much like
'idm'.... But I totally see where they wanna go with this
movie and I'm thrilled!

shoegaze isn't that diverse... i mean it bleeds into other
styles quite a bit, but i don't think there's much danger in
misinterpreting someone when they describe something as
such.

Kiss
Your fear
Your red button
Falls from my mouth
Slip
Your dress
Over your head
It's been so long
Move
On top
Because that way
You touch her too
Turn
Your head
Come back again
To here knows when
