Whirlpool - Chapterhouse

[link] From 1991, still early on in the shoegaze era.  Tempo is upbeat.  The overall sound is smooth-noisy and streamlined at the same time.  The vocals have a really soft tone; there is a bit of that effect where they are used as another instrumental line (a la the Cocteau Twins). The central break kind of strips is apart a bit and then of course reassembles it. A really great feeling sound is achieved in this song.
