According to the extra-extended liner notes included in all of the current Slowdive reissues, the name 'Souvlaki' refers to a sketch by NYC's infamous wind-up merchants The Jerky Boys and acts as a counterpoint to the fraught conditions in which the album was recorded.

Reading quintet Slowdive never quite earned the respect they deserved—with the exception of some accolades heaped on their first three singles—but they were surprisingly one of England's most formidable bands when the tempest they whipped up was at its most swirling.
On the opening "Alison," the largely uplifting "When the Sun Hits" and the darkly blissful "Machine Gun," Slowdive proves it is still capable of jaw-dropping flourishes.

While in the main, shoegaze music tended to be melodic as well as loud and textured, part of what set Slowdive apart is how much more both sweetly melodic and densely layered their music was compared with their contemporaries.

 Slowdive: Catch the Breeze: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
As popular as the whole scene was, too many people have spent too many years saying nothing more interesting about these bands than that they weren't quite as good as My Bloody Valentine.
And of all the bands that were stuck with that claim, Slowdive is the one for whom it was the most damnably untrue.
These days we all know that, in the end, Slowdive were hardly shoegazers at all.

Slowdive were getting better and better, but after they released Pygmalion they disbanded and re-banded as the M.O.R.-esque and comparitively boring "Mojave Three".
originally released in 1995, -pygmalion- was slowdive's last hurrah, and essentially, a neil halstead solo record.
while slowdive's subsequent country-ish incarnation of MOJAVE 3 leaves much to be desired for shoegazer fans, you can rest assured knowing that, for those who missed it, -pygmalion- doesn't disappoint.

 slowdive, souvlaki (extended package)
Having completed a US tour with Blur and a European jaunt alongside Ride, Slowdive found themselves bruised by the scathing reception their music was garnering from the rabid UK press, with 'Souvlaki' partially written during this time.
Including the Slowdive/Eno hook-ups 'Sing' and 'Here She Comes', 'Souvlaki' is a significantly different record to its predecessor; preferring a spiralling sense of scale compared to 'Just For a Day' and its more focussed sound.
So whilst the likes of '40 Days', 'Sing' and 'Dagger' are just as mouth-wateringly poignant as first time round, the bonus disc features a slew of B-sides and alternative mixes which only go to further underline just how deep Slowdive's creative well ran.

I’ve heard them compared to The Gathering, but I feel the songs bear more resemblance to a mixture of Paatos on some serious downers, mixed with a tiny dose of Slowdive.
Take a large dose of mellotrone, lush electric guitars, acoustic bass, ever so slight programming, drums only present to give a vague outline, beautiful softly sung female vocals and mix it together with an enormous helping of reverb.
