I had a quite the virulent aversion to "wimpy college rock" around that time, and that was basically the only thing I knew about them, that they were a staple of college radio. (I missed out on the Pixies for the same reason.) I couldn't be bothered, I was too busy listening to scary stuff like the Melvins and the Jesus Lizard and Helmet. Now I myself have grown old and wimpy. A friend played Loveless (MBV's final and arguably best album) for me a couple of years ago and I was instantly hooked. I'd heard of shoegazer bands, but I'd never heard the term "dream-pop" until I was reading about MBV recently. I can't imagine that this term could be applied to any group more so than MBV; seemingly endless layers of melodies, harmonies and noise, flowing and cascading and intertwining through the air and into your mind... "dreamy" is definitely le mot juste. Anyway, this CD is a great low-risk introduction to their music. If you like it, you will love Loveless. To established fans, it's an absolute must... an appendix to Loveless. The Tremolo EP is definitely in the same vein, but it's just not as crucial... this is the only EP which contains the song "Glider". Most fans seem to ignore this track, but I simply cannot stop listening to it. It's an unusual instrumental, even for MBV. There are no vocal or drum tracks in the mix, only several tracks of swirling, melting, dreamy guitar and bass. It's the most beautiful sound I've heard in quite some time, and I'd be perfectly happy if it was the only track on the disk and cost 10 times as much. Review: MBV in Their Prime - For fans of My Bloody Valentine, Glider is in many ways a fantastic companion piece to Loveless. These tracks come from the same era as the band's magnum opus, and complement those eleven timeless tracks incredibly well. "Soon", the final track of Loveless appears here, along with three more songs: Glider: An instrumental, layered and exotic. This is not for everybody, but there's a vibe to it. Don't Ask Why: An acoustic, one of my favorite MBV songs, nostalgic and otherworldly. Off Your Face: The loudest song on the album, with some distorted synths that sound like liquid gold. Overall, any MBV fan would be satisfied with this EP. Definitely worth a listen. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000002LMJ | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,070 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #2 in Shoegazing #11 in Dream Pop #20 in British Alternative Rock | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (33) | | Date First Available | December 7, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 075992631327 | | Label | Sire / London/Rhino | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Sire / London/Rhino | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 1990 | | Product Dimensions | 5.06 x 0.4 x 4.9 inches; 4.16 ounces | ## Images ![Glider - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Y8Fec9ngL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't... stop... listening... *by D***E on February 3, 2001* I missed out on My Bloody Valentine when they actually existed.

Definitely worth a listen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Quick Relaxing EP *by C***R on September 8, 2009* My Bloody Valentine are so influential in music and specifrically shoegaze that anything negative doesn't seem right to many. Though with this EP "Glider" much criticism is afoot here. People complain over pricing, short duration, and availability of songs elsewhere. Though this album lacks leangth its wealth in hazey guitar and jingles is more then enough to make up for it. The pricing yes a bit hefty for its four track limitation, but ask anyone who buys singles or EPs to begin with this isn't uncommon to be spending upwards of 10$ for a few tracks. Each track represents an imaginative slice of music, that 'glides' nicely over the surfaces of room filling it with submissiveness. One can't help but enjoy this if they already like the group[s most recognized album "Loveless". "Glider" doesn't exceed a new boundry in the groups catalog, but it does maintain a trademark sound worthy of obtaining even in such a small portion. Plus it's a good short sample of the band, and makes for a good long lasting loop on a playlist. If you like multiple effects, experimentation, artsy stuff, noisy music in general you'll no doubt want to pick this up. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/30654868-glider](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/30654868-glider) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
