Devotees of My Bloody Valentine's blistering and infamously layered sound had 16 years to accept the band's unique melodies had become a dead language. But the shoegazer gods returned to Earth in 2008, hoping to answer what-might-have-been had they kept going. The four-piece band formed in Ireland in 1984 and produced two albums by 1991.
