As for a great recent shoegaze-sounding record, I'd also mention this one:
GLIFTED - UNDER AND IN
It's basically an offshoot of the members of the American band Hum. I'm not at all a fan of Hum, but when I heard this CD, I really stumbled...Really catchy guitar riffs, drowned in endless wash of layers and MBV-like feedback loops, great melodies and dreamy atmosphere. A must-have.
