Another vote for Slint - Spiderland
Most material by Beach House
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted 
Sigur Ros 
Tortoise - their first 3 albums are superb.
Pere Ubu - Modern Dance 
and of course probably the ultimate shoegaze album....My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

If I were to suggest more minimal as opposed to showgaze , any recommendations there ?
i do like me some Swervedriver. Must check out their new album.

Johnnyseven

What do you mean by minimal?

Have you heard Colin Stetson? I got turned onto it by his soundtrack for The First (Sean Penn, mars mission thing shown on C4 recently), he also scored Hereditary.

I'm on first listen to Thom York's Susperia soundtrack, that might also be of interest

Reverend

Neurosis offshoot. Bleak and downbeat folky affair

Tangerine Dream's Zeit album is minimal. Nothing happens for 80 minutes!

I suppose in terms of arrangements/production. e.g. The Cure or MBV sounds "big". So stuff that wouldn't have the kitchen sink thrown at it in the studio...  
Some early Low would have just guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and that's it.

You should check out Slowdive's Pygmalion album and the last 2 Talk Talk albums.

I have the Talk Talk ones. Fantastic, as was his solo album after it. I have the last Slowdive album, but yet to check out Pygmalion

Johnnyseven

What about Hats by The Blue Nile?

Johnnyseven

Pygmalion is minimal btw, not like any of their other records.

Some bonnie prince Billy / palace brothers related stuff is fairly minimal and lofi.

This is probably my favourite:



The album Arise, Therefore is very minimal / lofi and I find most of it a bit too much hard work

Also Guided by Voices albums Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes are classic lofi releases, but only really minimal in the sense of production and technical ability! I love both of them
