Their first two albums ''Nowhere'' and ''Going Blank Again'' have been enshrined in the canon of essential {{shoegazing}} albums, with the former sometimes being considered the genre's second best effort after ''Music/{{Loveless}}'', and the latter toning down the shoegaze tendencies in favour of influences drawn from {{Grunge}} (the band-members admit to being inspired by Music/{{Nirvana}}'s ''Music/{{Nevermind}}'' while recording), PowerPop and classic rock, giving it a sort of proto-{{Britpop}} sound. Once shoegaze collapsed, the band tried to stay relevant by reinventing itself as a full-on {{Britpop}} act with ''Carnival of Light'', which gained them some positive notice but no chart success, and increasing tension between songwriters Bell and Gardener led the band to break up during the recording of ''Tarantula''. During their break-up, Andy Bell formed Hurricane #1 and later served as Music/{{Oasis}}' bassist.
