Spiritualized

I saw from his web site that he played an album launch show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam a few days ago. How does that work? Are gigs still allowed in the Netherlands? I miss gigs. :cry: ah, turns out it didn't happen in the end - "Yesterday’s show turned out to be quite a different then we expecte...

I'm very stoned right now and this really hit my sweet spot. Thanks! haha. Pleased it had the right effect! I'm certainly looking for a bit of positivity in my music at the moment.

Set your streaming services to stun with 'Lars and the magic Mountain', 'Everything looks good from here' Lots of Spacemen 3 echos to enjoy, and a whole lot of positivity. I'm on the 5th listen to this after discovering it last night. It is having the kind of effect on me that I was hoping Sonics ne...

Nice to see that Spiritualized have finally made someone's choice on the 'real' Desert Island Discs, with Samantha Morton's choice of LAGWAFIS yesterday.

I believe this is the first time they've been selected, but I could be wrong.

Trying to navigate through that reddit thread makes me feel like an old person trying out the internet for the first time. Is it just me? I spotted a snippet where Pete said the September shows are unlikely to happen. Very disappointing I'd still been holding out for this show as a light at the end ...

I ordered the deluxe vinyl and cd from Carpark...Will it shop from the US? I wonder how long it will take to get to the UK?

Thanks for that, really interesting. One thing struck me though - "With that album [Lazer Guided Melodies], it was very much telling people, ‘This is the drum pattern, this is the drum sound, this is how you play it.’ Now, especially with the people we’re working with, it’s more about people contrib...

This album is shaping up to be great.

This is my fav so far. Cracking

Good stuff. I like this idea of being able plan for something.

Perhaps we could do a scheduled forum album listen? Get everyone on here at the same time during lockdown and and chat while listening.

Something to break the monotony perhaps!

The one great thing which took place under this cloud is...

Serves me right for being too quick. Bought the bandcamp limited vinyl and a CD, now having to back out to buy the delux vinyl + tshirt + cd from Car Park. Damn the expense. This is the first Sonic Boom album in 30 years! (althoguh I hope I don't get caught out by import duty)

I'm slowly trying to work through some of these recommendations. Rose City Band is good, Juleah is great! Thanks stegraham.

I'm not sure that I'm entirely keeping up with new music these days, partly perhaps because the board has become so quiet so I'm missing out on the usual tips from the very knowledgeable people round here.

I'd been thinking the same recently with regard to the relative quietness of spiritualized. Still hopefull but not optimistic of a UK tour.

I think I'll go to the accoustic mainlines gig, although I'll be disappointed if the same set list is used.

clewsr

£3k? Too rich for my blood! Although I would have loved to support a crowd funded shared effort, I doubt there's enough people here to reach that. I can't help wondering how much unreleased work there will be on there tapes, - I guess Will already worked through the best stuff for the friendly fire ...

So after all the drama I made it to the gig last night, Really glad I did. Great set list and surging drones all the way through. Have to admit I enjoyed this substantially more than Spiritualized in Amsterdam back in March. Smallish room, but busy crowd. I got myself a good spec close to the front,...

I read this in one sitting on Saturday, after the spz gig in Amsterdam. Made me wish I was just a few years older so I could have actually seen Spacemen 3. An enjoyable easy read, love letter to the band I'd say.

Similar setlist in Copenhagen. Without doubt the most boring Spz gig I've ever seen. Great show in Stocholm the day after - same set, but much more intense and hypnotic. In particular On the Sunshine, The Morning After and Oh Happy Day were stellar, and Doggen’s guitar was fantastic. Great lights (...

We were on the balcony, it was a good view up there and had room to move a bit. I agree with you Runcible on the highlights. I do think the end of the show in particular was lackluster.
