Dissolve - Sunflower Search Engine

I'm pretty sure I got this song off Audiogalaxy, maybe 6 years ago, and I've rediscovered it and a couple others by Dissolve at least once a year since then.  And yet, I've never bought or even downloaded any of their albums.  What the hell?  Well, I'll fix that on my next trip to Amoeba.  It's from "Third Album For The Sun," a super-early Kranky release from 1997 - Dissolve's second and final album.  It's got a real floaty, spacey sound, lots of guitars with wah and reverb all over the place.  The chorus on this song gives it a kind of Spiritualized feel (well, not really), but the backing track could just as easily be an unusually active Windy & Carl song.  If you're a fan of, say, Landing or Yume Bitsu, or any of those other space-rock and shoegazer type bands, Dissolve is probably a good bet - and this is old school, too.  People will say, "Oh, is that the new Slowdive? (or whatever)" and you'll say, "What, dude?  This song is almost 10 years old.  I used to listen to it at recess behind the backstop of the kickball field."  See, now that's some serious cred.

Here's "Sunflower Search Engine," by Dissolve.
