Spiritualized

natty

Just finished it. Nice little book, worth any fan's money. Had an extra dimension for me as an ex-pat Northamptonian I think.

natty

They were a three piece at the time of the gig in the book think, which is probably why it doesn't mention Pete Bain.

natty

Pete Bassman was a little less complimentary about the book online recently... but i can't help but think a book about someone's experience of life growing up among the people and music of Northampton/Rugby around that time is ENTIRELY their story. Not Pete's, or Sonic's or Jason's. Seemed a bit of...

Presumably he'll be cremated.

Man, I would love it if Forged Prescriptions got a nice vinyl pressing.

Me too, it seems like a hole in my collection.

Just not on Spageage.

The Perfect Prescription would benefit from a good remastering job as well, but as I understand it, PK considers FP to be that job done.

natty

I see Gerald is still flogging the bit of ground where the corpse of Spacemen 3 once lay: https://recordstoreday.co.uk/releases/rsd-2019/spacemen-3/ "Live in Europe '89" getting a vinyl reissue for RSD 2019, if anyone cares at this point. Remastered 180g audiophile "splatter vinyl" double LP. "Audio...

natty

Interesting he says they're in the process of taking Gerald Palmer to court.

I always thought the potential costs involved had made it unviable for them to do so.

natty

Listening to it after a smoke amd a few beers and it's hitting the spot more often.

Good record. I'll be forking out for it.

natty

Listened to the stream a couple of times and reckon it's possibly his best since Let it Come Down, but have also listened to SpaceShipp, the Follkaziod collab and the Kenzo soundtracks this morning and think all are vastly superior to it. I honestly think Jason's best work is outside of Spiritualize...

natty

I see Pete Bassman reacted well to the new UNCUT interview on Facebook :lol: "2 MILLION FOR A SP3 REFORMATION IS A CROCK OF SHIT. I WAS BASS PLAYER MK 1 AND REGARDLESS OF THE OPINIONS OF ALL THE MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE, FANS, CONTRIBUTING MUSICIANS ECT I WAS AT THE HEART OF THE BAND, INFACT MY INVOLVEM...

natty

Still no record :cry: Well remembered! I'd love another Spectrum album, perhaps more than any other, but it's enough for me for the time being to see Pete looking well and happy. Portugal seems to suit him! I visited the town where Pete lives, Sintra, a few years ago when I was on holiday in Lisbon...

Bookmarked so I can bump this thread again in an other 7 years.

Bump.

Still no record

natty

Feel a bit of self loathing for paying £30 For the Medical Records Orange vinyl on RSD now. Suppose it's decent my local shop got the money though like. They're a nice bunch and got it in specially for me, and I have played it a lot.

natty

As long as Daniel got a tonne of money for this I'm cool with it, for once.

natty

Fair play to Jason that he managed to get this sound recording at home.

Good songs, the both of them. Progression from SHSL, which is decent to hear.

They're a bit safe though, aren't they?

I need to accept that I'm not going to get something as out there as LGM or PP from Jason again, don't I?

natty

Anyone know if it plays from the centre out like the original?

natty

Ah, my bad. Could've sworn it was Natty's.

natty

Pete's a lucky fella living in Sintra. Amazing place.

It's the original sleeve in a different colour. Artwork by Natty Brooker.

Superb.

Has Palmer got his teeth into Spiritualized as well? I thought he only had involvement with Spacemen 3

He managed Spiritualized in the early days as well.

Don't know how he got his mitts on any rights to any of their music though.

Only just read this thread, completely by accident. It came up when I was searching for their appearance on Transmission, as I couldn't remember whether it was Transmission or Snub TV. Anyway, what's all the stuff in the middle section, " Splash 1" through to "False Start....Goodbye"?. I've never se...

Gerald no doubt has "licensed" the recordings to Superior Viaduct, whoever they are. I wouldn't have thought they were sanctioned by the band for a second. Happy to be wrong, like. Does anyone need yet another reissue of these records? Suppose they've not been done on vinyl for a bit. I won't be buy...

natty

Had the CD, it got left in the US when I moved back to the UK, something that has been a source of regret since.

Would definitely be in for the vinyl. Hope it gets a UK release.

Wowzers!

Would have loved to have heard that.

Funny seeing this thread pop up on here. I got into FSA because of you evangelising about them when I was buying some records from your stall at Reading Festival in 1995, runcible. Checked them out and liked them a lot.

natty

Love this. My four year old daughter's favourite song is "So Long", she knows all the words and sings along to it. She also loves Spectrum's version of "True Love Will Find You in the End" and calls it "my pretty song". Her favourite band is The Lovely Eggs. [/b] Learn to read with Richard Brautiga...

Shame "Psychedelicise Suburbia" isn't in there. Best thing they released IMO.

natty

Doesn't seem like long since I was thinking "Bloody hell, my favourite record is 10 years old". Time indeed flies.

https://petespacemanbassman.wordpress.c ... r-special/

New blog up from Pete Bain saying more reissues on the way. Not cool.

natty

Just wondering who would even be in the line-up, seeing as Will has retired from music due to his tinnitus and Natty is no longer with us? I think Pete B and Rosco would be the most obvious choices, but that again might be canyons that can't be bridged. Sonic's touring band could step in to provide...

natty

Mixed feelings about it really, should it become a possibility. Their falling out was so public and so total, and their sniping at each other has continued over the years, although Pete has seemed more open to reconciliation than Jason. Not sure how a reunion would feel unless they genuinely started...

natty

Liking it more with each listen.

The title track is my favourite. The Neil Young-esque second half of it, with the big "Ride" sounding guitars towards the end, is gorgeous.

natty

Like it. A lot.

Shame they didn't make this 23 years ago instead of "Carnival of Light".

Anyone else think "Lateral Alice" owes quite a large nod to "Revolution", or maybe "Rocket USA"?

They've been doing "Revolution" live recently, apparently.

natty

Love the album, have had it on almost constant repeat this week.

The last two tracks are my favourites. I read that "Falling Ashes" is the direction they're heading in if they do another record, and that's fine by me.

natty

Well... Record Store Day orders can't be returned by the stores, so the Space Age Recordings guy is already getting paid; all you're doing with your note at the 11th hour is potentially fucking over the record stores that placed the orders. Where was your note a few months ago when the record store...

; if these releases are purported to be “bootleg” recordings then why has no other label (excepting only Space Age Recordings) pressed or sold these recordings since the expiration of the licenses to Fire Records, RCA / BMG and subsequently Taang!

Live version of a new track called "Lannoy Point" doing the rounds on social media today is really good.

Think they've still got it, tbh, and am really looking forward to the album now.

natty

Yeah, let's call it like it was; Dave is a complete monster on the drums; super athletic drumming. Maddox on the other hand played them with all the grace of a drowning dog, it fit the music at the time but he was the weakest of links in the early line up of the band. Still don't think anything com...

I quite like it. I was very surprised that bits of it remind me of XTC or (sorry about this) prog. I clearly never was subjected to a final mix.

For all the fucked up originally emerged on Sympathy for the record industry, so they might be re-issuing. The original vinyl release sells for £50 to £75 these days Quiver at Dawn Entertainment put it out a couple of months earlier than SFTRI, but think it's probably considered a bootleg. Seems to...

natty

Love 'em. Been really interesting to see how their music has evolved over the years, from basically starting off as an Earth tribute act (there's even an early Sunn O))) track called "Dylan Carlson") to incorporating influences from all over the place and collaborating with some really interesting m...

Full album stream here: http://teamrock.com/news/2017-03-20/hea ... es-in-full

Not leaked or anything. The band have made it available.

I like them both. "Charm Assault" took two or three listens to grow on me, still think the drums need some reverb on them, but it's a good song, I found it going round my head the next day at work. "Home is a Feeling" is much more like the classic sound, love that about it, but I think it's possibly...

natty

Wouldn't touch any of these releases with a shitty stick.

Gerald Palmer can kiss my ring.

natty

Really like the new song. It's got enough of their "classic" sound to still sound like them, bit it's different enough to still be relevant and more than just a nostalgia trip. It's quite poppy, too. Really looking forward to the album.

natty

Was in a record shop earlier today and very surprisingly saw physical copies of Spectrum's 'Live Chronicles' in the racks. Also got an automated email from amazon trying to flog me Spacemen 3 t shirts. I'd love one but I don't want money to go to these villains. Looks like they're certainly trying ...

natty

I've got an un-numbered copy of this that Sonic did for me as an extra because I asked him nicely. Wonder what that's worth?

Not entertaining the thought of selling it, like.

natty

Much better. Proper tune, that.

natty

Another new single tonight, "Beautiful Thing". Hope this one doesn't sound like a fucking Pigeon Detectives b-side.

Pete Bain's take on things here:

Pete, when you say "share amongst yourselves" do you mean the board or are you happy for it to be shared on social media the fact that you get no royalties from the Spaceage releases? Terrible to hear that, seeing as you've actually done artwork, mastering etc for them. Is the case the same for the ...

Sorry to hear old Robert John Godfrey got done over by Palmer too.

Hahaha does the forum really change "R0bert" to "Josh" as a pop at Josh Hampson? That's hilarious.

natty

Unbelievable that this guy is still fucking with Spacemen 3 even after 25+ years. What a dick. I was always under the impression that PK had some involvement in Spaceage. This really stinks. Good luck getting what's owed to you, Peter. I hope one day you (and Jason) get the rights to the music you c...
