Spiritualized

Great isn't it. I love it. Massive high fives to whover came up with the idea. They do like playing with fire down in Lewes.

That t shirt would melt your eyeballs wouldn't it! Not sure I've got the balls to wear that. My eldest daughter has taken to nicking my band tshirt to wear as pyjammas. She wouldn't be seen outside the house with them on though! I imagine this one will end up being adopted as well. It reminds me of...

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)

OH YES

Hey Good news. Got the vinyl pre ordered, and listening the to the debut as a good way to start the day.

Not sure what to make of the new Aliens song:

cassettes of Spacemen 3 early Spiritualized. Did he ever sell them by the way?

I'd also like to know this!

clewsr

yay, A conversation about Spiritualized! I think Pure Phase is a candidate for this. There must be some good out takes and alternative versions from that. I'm sure I recall bza mentioning and 18min version of these blues? Or was there a rumour of a version of the album performed entirely by the The ...

Would be stellar if someone tapes both nights. Robotoilet - i hope she will go and she has taped shows before. Here's my recording of the second day. I wanted to do justice to this great show, so I only maximized the sound and trimmed some parts, no compressing or splitting (you may call it lazy......

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

Spzretent - I imagine WH Lung will be right up your street.

clewsr

ALSO! Must not forget the amazing debut from Nina Harries! Saw her live at the Pig and Applestock this year playing solo, with just a double base. Absolutely fantastic!

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 have a couple to add, there may be more if my memory works a bit better - WH Lung - Incident...

I am loving this new album

clewsr

Can't believe that it takes so long for posting a audience recording of it :D I'm very sure that someone recorded it, so come on and share it. I've been searching for clips on u tube, but nothing so far, closest I found was this teaser clip of them rehearsing in a cellar https://www.youtube.com/wat...

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 ...

clewsr

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,...

The Manchester Spectrum show is on the same day as my Girlfriend's birthday which is awkward. I'm still working on persuading her to ditch the kids and head over to see it. The chance doesn't come up very often.

Okay this is a real blast from the past I know but does anybody have this recording to share? I've recently been getting into Robyn Hitchcock, and I'm extremely curious how a Sonic Boom/YLT/Hitchcock mashup would sound. I'll have it somewhere Jon.

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

Likewise for me, having spent many of my formative teenage years out and about in Rugby. Sadly post the Spacemen3 era though.

The Breeders' Josephine Wiggs has a new album which Jonny Mattock plays on. The track shared in the article is very haunting and rather excellent.

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.

clewsr

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 (...

clewsr

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. I know its the start of the tour and things will improve. I guess the whole play of ANH will last the whole tour? ...

clewsr

Agreed

clewsr

Yeah. It probably didn't help that we couldn't see the guitarists from where we were, but the impressioni for last night was much more of a singer songwriter with backing band.

I miss the American flavour band. I still think that Hendon bridge gig was the best I'd seen them in a very long time

clewsr

We enjoyed the show. Great venue. I must admit I struggled with the tempo though. It was fine to hear the whole album but better and louder songs at the end would really have helped. I'd drop broken heart, so long you pretty thing and happy day in favour of heading for the top, smiles, or take me to...

clewsr

Thanks. Herman. Membership sorted. Had a good day wandering around the city. Looking forward to the gig now.

clewsr

Get quite excited about the trip to Amsterdam now!

Some questions -

- Who else on this forum is going?
- Parradiso website says membership is required for some gigs. Does anyone know if this applies to the spz gig?
- Any word of a support?
- Any suggestions for bars or cafes nearby?

Great Film! I've kind of forgotten about the Rev over the years. It might be time to dig out that first album again.

I think the footage could also be be the inspiration for Yo Gabba Gabba??

I always quite like to hear a spacemen 3 or spiritualized cover... imagine my disappointment when I clicked on this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-pgTGWSM8
.. or is it just me??

clewsr

How Odd. I do really like it, but the candy crush track is 5 years old, so unless Jason did produce it for them, the lawsuit could be heading in Spirituaized's direction?

It kind of reminds of the first time I saw the toffee crisp advert and freaked the fuck out.

clewsr

Something no one has asked for ages - 'When are you going to reform Spacemen 3'

clewsr

oh that sad / disturbing news. Just as they had broken through this year.

I'm normally a quite a completist when it comes to Jason's work, but I think I'll swerve this.

'J. Spaceman recorded this strange record at his own Amazing Grace Studio in June 2005.'

I wonder what happened to the Amazing Grace Studio?
