I only got into Slowdive a year or two ago so I can't think of it in terms of scenes or who drank at which pub in 1993. But without that context I think they made one good and one great record -- objectively so, as much as one can say that about music -- and I don't see why there's anything weird about still listening to them, or discovering them if you weren't there at the time.

No, please listen to them. I should listen to more of them myself. I loved Morningrise, but never heard much of Slowdive's other stuff simply because getting hold of music was expensive and difficult at the time.

That's the bit that feels weird. A couple of decades ago they seemed destined for oblivion. Watching Lost in Translation with no advance warning was a very odd experience.
