"'John Peel was our universe', said Kevin Shields - so much so that Shields stood outside the BBC one day in 1985 for four hours, waiting for Peelie to come out. From that first single on, Shields and his band My Bloody Valentine were to redefine what noise meant. 1988's 'Isn't Anything' (Creation) blends shimmering distortion and ghostly melodies with sheets of bendy white noise, spawning the term 'shoegazing' (later applied to whole scene) due to the band's refusal to look at their audience during their live shows. In 1991 the band released 'Loveless' (Creation), which was hailed as a masterpiece (and reportedly cost a whopping �500,000 to make, crippling Creation until they signed Oasis in 1994). And then _ nothing. Shields now spends his time producing other artists, and in 2003 broke silence to record the original soundtrack to the hit movie, 'Lost in Translation'."^^xsd:string2
