Live at The Stone NYC (2010)
Finishing up the small lossless discography for these guys, this is the only official live album to be released by them. This fittingly lo-fi recording of one of the few live performances only contains eight songs and clocks in at a short show of only 53 minutes. As brief as this performance is, it sure is a heavy hitter, with songs from all stages of the band's brief career.
I hope I can hold on
Until the day that I escape.

Deathconsciousness (2008)
With the recent re-release of the album on both vinyl and CD, I figured that I would finally own this masterpiece of an album and rip it myself. Unfortunately, I was very late on the gun on was only able to pick up the CD version. Still the classic you all know and love, Deathconsciousness was the first musical endeavor by the duo Have a Nice Life. The album experiments with rich soundscapes and ambient sections, heavy post-rock and noticeably industrial segments, and incredibly low quality all around. To be honest, lo-fi doesn't even begin to describe this album's quality. That aside, Have a Nice Lfie's Deathconsciousness is an 80 minute experience set across two discs that is simply too good to pass up. I would use the new cover of the album for the post image, but my scanner is pretty shitty and nobody seems to care about scanning that sort of thing anymore, unfortunately. Thankfully, the old cover is still awesome.

EP's 1988-1991 (2012)
Part of the complete remastering of the band's work done by their frontman, Kevin Shields. The collection features three EPs (You Made Me Realize, Glider, and Tremolo), a single, and some rare and unreleased tracks. A fine collection for the My Bloody Valentine fan in your family.
Get the hell inside
You can close your eyes
Well you might as well commit suicide

Loveless (1991) [2012 Remaster]
Originally released in 1991, this is the remastered edition. It comes with the "Original Tape" version, which is the same source of all previous pressings of Loveless. It also comes with the "Original 1/2 Inch Analogue Tape" version, which is just that. If you like shoegaze at all, this is album is excellent.
IMPORTANT: The packaging for this remaster incorrectly lists CD 1 as the "Original Tape" version and CD 2 as the "Analogue Tape" version. Because of this, I feel that I should point out that the tags I have given these songs correctly identify which CD is which.
In addition, you may notice a weird glitchy sound at around 2:46 on the analogue version of "What You Want". This is not an error when ripping the CD, this is actually present in the song itself, and is found on all copies of the remaster. I can only assume it is a manufacturing error, which is a shame, because the rest of the album is very nice.
Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know
How you could not love me now

Zero Comma, Colorful World (2010)
A post-rock influenced shoegaze trio from Japan. Known for their guitar driven songs and melodic pop vocals. As I have heard, they put on one hell of a live show.
