Alright, another vote for Ride!
As for first album, Nowhere is a good place to go to begin. Lots of swirly guitar and distant vocals...very good stuff.
My personal favorite is Going Blank Again, but Smile, the album that combines their first two EPs, is excellent too. Actually, this kept me company on my hour drive to work this morning.
Fun fact: The CD of Smile is mastered from the vinyl of the original EPs, while the EPs, if bought separately, are just mastered normally. Interesting.
