. . .The term “ Dream POP ”, according to legend, was invented in the late 1980s by the British group Arkane (though their own albums- 1 , 2 -did not fall into our list, had to be smuggled in this note) to designate a special sound that arose in the 80s in the British rock music and included experiments with a large the amount of sound layers. The reception also goes back to the famous “Wall of Sound” by Phil Spector, but he became known to the inventors of Dream Pop, first of all, through his second hands-as a rule, George Harrison and The Velvet Underground are called the most important sources of inspiration. The signs of the genre are also “soaring” and “unearthly” female vocals and mysterious words with a hint of some secrets, from esoteric to cosmic, and sometimes simply glossolalia. It can be difficult to distinguish Dream-Pop from Shugaze (Shoegaze) , but Shugais, as a rule, involves a dense and noisy guitar sound with a lot of dystorshin, and drim-pop-airy, delicate and transparent. The classic albums of the genre were recorded between 1983 and 1992, but even after that Dream Pop existed and developed, and has recently experienced a revival. To immerse in the genre, it is convenient to cope with the D Reampop.it website, which catalogs key albums from the mid -eighties to the present day. Judging by this list, starting in 1983, the Dream Pop branch has not been interrupted. We have chosen 10 albums by which we can trace the evolution of the genre on its thirty -year path.
