Fall by Ride
Fall is an EP by Ride, released in 1990. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Dreams Burn Down”, on 1 list with a best position of #3.
Fall was Ride's third EP, put out on Creation in 1990, the same year the Oxford band's debut album Nowhere arrived and shoegaze began its rise in Britain. It works as a trailer for that record, and the two literally overlap: "Dreams Burn Down" turned up on the vinyl Nowhere that October, while the CD edition of the album tacked on the EP's other three tracks.
"Dreams Burn Down" is the one to hear, a long, swelling surge where the guitars pile up into a warm roar and the vocals drift somewhere inside it, and "Taste" is the brisker, brighter flip side of the same idea. Noise rarely sounded this pretty.
