In Britain, groups like Cocteau Twins and Slowdive escaped into shimmering dreamworlds while American underground rockers like Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement blended apathy and urgency into thrilling noise. \\n \\nA propulsive and personal account from a journalist who covered this music in real time from the frontlines, \u003ci\u003eStill in a Dream\u003c\/i\u003e vividly recreates a period that was the last blast for the analogue culture of vinyl records and music papers, before the Internet changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archway Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56560003973506,"sku":"9781399618373-781399618374","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/6575\/5522\/files\/Still-in-a-dream-archway-bookshop.jpg?v=1776169410","url":"https:\/\/archwaybookshop.co.uk\/products\/still-a-dream-signed-simon-reynolds","provider":"Archway Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
