my bloody valentine

My bloody valentine is one of my fovorite bands. They were formed in Dublin, Ireland. They revolutionize the way to manage of noise in creation of music.

For a long time, feedback noise have been hated by musicians or people who is in relation with music. According to dictionary, feedback noise is not nice to listen to, heard when a microphone is too close to an amplifier. Since electric guitar was invented, the noise had been excluded from music. As long as I know, the first person who used the noise as a part of music is Jimi Hendrix. (However I have no confidence on this point.) He was famous for many colorful expressions like buning guiter or destroying guiter. As an extention of those expressions, he did that.

The next turn of using noise came in England, 1985 when an album, "psycho candy" by The Jesus and Mary Chain, was released. The album is filled with excessive feedback noise. Their music is almost noise itself. Their use of noise was fresh for those days but was the same with the former noise users on the point that they use the noise as a expression of violence.

to here knows when
My bloody valentine's "Loveless" is released in 1991 by Creation record which is famous for turning out of famous rock band Oasis. This album is also filled with excessive noise but those noise broght listeners the peace, the ecstatic feeling and and comfort.
