The album's innovative instrumental and production techniques consolidated the experimentation of the group's preceding EPs, and would make it a pioneering work of the style known as shoegazing.〔 ==Background== After the band's original vocalist Dave Conway left in 1987, to be replaced by Bilinda Butcher, the band continued for a while in their previous noisy indie-pop style before Kevin Shields returned to their avant-garde roots, and began to explore the possibilities offered by the studio facilities available after signing to Creation Records in 1988. The first fruit of this experimentation was the single/EP "You Made Me Realise", released in July 1988, with ''Isn't Anything'' following later that year.〔 "Kevin gave me 'You Made Me Realise', which was supposed to be a track on their first EP for us," recalled Creation head Alan McGee. "I went, That's the single! He was shocked, cos they'd only done the track as a joke. Then they did stuff for their album, and I said, Go for more of the weirder stuff. So they went back and did stuff like 'Soft as Snow'. Those are the only suggestions I've ever given them."〔''Select'', April 1994〕 Most of the album was recorded in a studio in Wales. While recording the album over a period of two weeks, the band got by on about two hours sleep a night.〔 Bilinda Butcher described the effect of this: "Often, when we do the vocals, it's 7:30 in the morning: I've usually fallen asleep and have to be woken up to sing. Maybe that's why it's languorous. I'm usually trying to remember what I've been dreaming about when I'm singing."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isn't Anything」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
