Would anyone consider The Chameleons to be Dream Pop? They're one of my favorite bands. If anyone hasn't heard of them, they were an english Post Punk band from the early to mid 80s that released a few albums before disbanding due to the death of their manager in 1985. They have some great guitar work and melodies, and their 3 main albums are consistently good. They aren't really shoegazey, but they could still fit in the thread.

You guys should all check the Chameleons out. The song Paradisio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj5u-a68hZA), Swamp Thing, and Up the Down Escalator are especially bitchin songs but don't let that take anything away from the rest of their library.

I didn't see them mentioned .. but most of you would probably dig Sad Day for Puppets

I believe they're from Sweden. Good stuff.

Thanks, just listened through the youtube. Has potential, diggin' it, will get an album of theirs. I'd love to hear some higher tempo from these fellas.

Just a cool update, Chameleonsvox are on Marc Riley's BBC radio show:

I'm not entirely sure how this show works but it sounds like they're gonna play two more live tracks in the studio in the next hour and a half.
