 The recording sessions for Ecstasy took place a week after the recording sessions for " Strawberry Wine " . My Bloody Valentine spent a total of 10 days recording the album . According to Kevin Shields , the sessions " had no direction and [ the band ] didn 't even know what [ they ] were doing " and " bashed out all these tunes quickly , very demo @-@ like " . A number of songs were recorded that did not feature on the final release , as the band considered them " awful " . However , the sessions were " the first time [ the band had ] actually played around properly in the studio " , which resulted in " extreme " and " quite nasty " guitar sounds , which My Bloody Valentine would later become associated with .
