One Asian Under A Groove

I can only add my agreement to everyone who speaks so highly of Vinyl Me Please pressings (ESPECIALLY the LAGWAFIS one), which bodes really well for these reissues. I should point out though: often VMP has its own variation of other widely-released records, but I’m not sure that VMP’s pressing of LG...

One Asian Under A Groove

Sault have been an utter revelation for me. Two sensational albums last year, “5” and “7”, then something even better this summer with “Untitled (Black Is)”, which would have easily been my album of year... except they somehow outdid even themselves (for me) three months later with “Untitled (Rise)”...

I can only echo what others have said: it may seem expensive, you may wonder if you need it... trust me, it’s worth every single penny and more. It sounds utterly magnificent. The packaging looks and feels so luxurious. VMP may be costly but they have properly done LAGWAFIS justice. I never got the ...

And here’s a wee interview with Jason about the album: https://magazine.vinylmeplease.com/magazine/spiritualized-liner-notes/ I previously signed up to Vinyl Me Please in 2016 for The Avalanches’ second album. I also bought “Donuts” by J Dilla. Then didn’t buy anything until earlier this year, when ...

One Asian Under A Groove

I really, really love Radiohead and OK Computer is my favourite album of theirs, what with it being part of THAT summer of music when I was turning 17 and blissing out to OK and LAGWAFIS. But... I feel this package is pretty disappointing. The £100 deluxe box set, I mean. I would have fallen over my...

One Asian Under A Groove

I remember there being a lot of love for Daniel Avery on this forum. So with that in mind, I highly, highly recommend Kelly Lee Owens' self-titled debut album. She does the vocals on one song from Avery's "Drone Logic" album. She now makes the most fantastic techno music, sometimes quite i...

One Asian Under A Groove

I know this has turned into a Mansun thread, but forgive me for sticking with it. I still find it astonishing that an album as mad as Attack Of The Grey Lantern was such a massive hit - but then I hear the songs once again and they are undeniable. Imagine coming out with something so fully-formed an...

One Asian Under A Groove

I was going to post both that quote and a note of my disdain for someone who wouldn't have a career if it wasn't for black music to appropriate badly, but you lovely people beat me to it. Thank goodness I can't stand his music either, thus saving me a quandary.

One Asian Under A Groove

Thank you for both the link and the samples page. "Paul's Boutique" is one of my all-time favourites. Hearing that opening burst of drums on "Shake Your Rump" always improves my day, without fail. The whole album is dizzying in terms of its samples, references and of course the t...

A photo I took of him at his Glasgow Hydro show in 2014. He'd allowed people to get their cameras & phones out by this point, so I couldn't resist. Look at him. The coolest man around.

One Asian Under A Groove

I'm heartbroken. His music is everything to me. Lucky enough to see him twice - the second show in Glasgow 2 years ago was one of the greatest things I will ever see. He was the dictionary definition of "genius". I once organised my birthday party to be a music-themed fancy dress affair, s...

One Asian Under A Groove

Thank you for the heads-up. I love that Cashier No.9 album - I will be investigating this ASAP. Does it sound similar?

One Asian Under A Groove

I have listened to this song over and over and over today on the iPlayer. In my car to & from work, on headphones on my lunch break... I think it's the best thing Primal Scream have done for years. Completely thrilling. Perfect backing vocals, a great dirty groove, Burning Wheel-esque tablas and...

The title is a phrase Rick Smiths father said to his mother not long before he died apparently, 62 yrs married. Which only makes the whole thing more heartwarming and beautiful. Rick Smith's daughter and Karl Hyde's daughter both sing backing vocals on the album. The final song, "Nylon Strung&...

One Asian Under A Groove

I'm firmly in the "David Holmes can do no wrong" boat. His Essential Mixes, his film scores and his albums under his own name and with The Free Association. In particular, "The Holy Pictures" is nigh on perfect to me - "I Heard Wonders" has a huge amount of personal sig...

One Asian Under A Groove

Have any fellow board members heard the new Underworld album yet? I am severely regretting not shelling out for the fancy box set, as I think this has potential classic status. It's got a warmth that I don't always associate with Underworld. The middle two "slow" tracks are outstanding, no...

One Asian Under A Groove

Far too many women and ethnics on that list. Bloody PC leftie nonsense.

One Asian Under A Groove

After reading this topic, I sat myself down to listen to the Screamadelica record that I have, which I bought some time ago but never actually listened to (back in the days when I used to frame my favourite records instead of playing them). I have a Plain Recordings reissue from 2003 (I also have th...

One Asian Under A Groove

Second only to LAGWAFIS as my favourite album. My favourite pieces of music tend to have little moments in them which just defy description (I posted a thread about such moments in Spiritualized songs a while back) - Screamadelica has loads of them. The "shhhh" in Movin' On Up. The cackled...

It was my first RSD too, as we were in Manchester for a day trip. On the train there, I happened to check online for the location of Piccadilly Records, saw it was RSD, saw that Tim Burgess was going to be there, told my wife and our plan for the day was set. I was able to get hold of the Continuum ...

At the age of 10, I heard The Fly on the radio, bought Achtung Baby and fell in love with U2. I had no preconception about how uncool or earnest they were in the 80s, I just knew they looked so cool now. Every single album of theirs since Achtung Baby, I've gotten on board with (especially Zooropa, ...

I have one you can have for free. It might be a large. It's at my parents place but I'm going there tomorrow so I will double check its wha you're looking for. It's definitely grey with the spaceman, says j spaceman on one of the sleeves and has the dates on the front. That's so generous and kind o...

One Asian Under A Groove

I'm going too. Been impatient to see them for a while, glad they decided to play Scotland again as their own show as last time it was part of a wee festival that I didn't really want to go to. I'll be there with my fellow Super Furry Animals-loving pal, and I'm pretty sure that most of our conversat...

I have but one regret about being at the famous Edinburgh Queens Hall show on the first Acoustic Mainlines tour: I bought a lovely grey/cream t-shirt with a shiny Spaceman on the front and tour dates in light blue dotted around the front, but I bought it in what appears to be a child's size. At the ...

Favourite Albums of 2014 Prince - ART OFFICAL AGE Azealia Banks - Broke With Expensive Taste D'Angelo & The Vanguard - Black Messiah In terms of 2014, the D'Angelo album is absolutely stunning... WOW. A late addition to the top-tier shit, pretty much via One Asian Under A Groove's post in here ...

One Asian Under A Groove

And I had a gap for the fifth album... then D'Angelo happened. I *think* it's better than anything else I've heard this year, but I just need to make sure that I'm not overreacting out of sheer joy that he came back, came back suddenly and came back GOOD. WHAAAAT? How did I miss this???! Good on ya...

One Asian Under A Groove

Personally, it's been a decent year for music but not one of the best. My favourite albums have been: Hookworms - "The Hum" St. Vincent - "St. Vincent" Run The Jewels - "Run The Jewels 2" FKA twigs - "LP1" And I had a gap for the fifth album... then D'Angelo h...

One Asian Under A Groove

I was quite late to the party with Hookworms. Even though people posted about them on here and other reviews kept mentioning Spiritualized in reference to their sound. Anyway, I've caught up now and I cannot bloody wait for this album. Shame they're only playing the Simple Things festival in Glasgow...

One Asian Under A Groove

My second thought upon hearing this news (my first was: "Hurrah! New material!") was... that band name would look bloody great on a t-shirt.

One Asian Under A Groove

Alan, I'd like to add my own thanks to you for the wonderful t-shirt. The colours are so good, completely different to the usual black or white band t-shirt. It looks and feels fantastic. I'm truly grateful for all the effort you've put in!

One Asian Under A Groove

Finally paid! Although I forgot to put a mailing address in, so I've put that in a message to you, Alan. Thanks again, Neil

One Asian Under A Groove

If there are any Small t-shirts going, count me in. It's a pretty fantastic project, this. The colours of the t-shirt make it even better. Thanks!

One Asian Under A Groove

A really enjoyable article. I don't agree with all of it, but I do absolutely agree with his opening paragraph of the LAG entry. It is perfect. And surely one of the great things about Spiritualized is that you could take a random sample of fans from here and the results of preference would be diffe...

One Asian Under A Groove

It would have to be Spiritualized playing Ladies And Gentlemen... live at The Sage in Gateshead on 19th December 2009. The 3 best bits were: 1) Thinking I was seeing ghosts in the strobe lighting during Electricity and being unable to resist laughing like a mad thing. 2) Being unable to stop crying ...

One Asian Under A Groove

I'd like to join in the excitement. Stainless Style is virtually flawless (I do have to confess that I skip "Sweat Shop" every time, it's Gruff Rhys' "I Gotta Fire"). I love that the idea of a concept album about a person has remained - I'm almost certain that nothing else will b...

My pleasure! Really glad you like them. I've taken photos from a few Spiritualized shows over the years, I'll maybe find the related threads & post some there. The camera is a Panasonic Lumix digital camera - by far the best digital camera I've seen. I'm just lucky the boss lets me take it to gi...

Many, many thanks to both of you for uploading the audio for these shows. It's much appreciated.

One Asian Under A Groove

I'm typing this while on a train back up to Edinburgh - it was quite an impulsive decision to book tickets for a weeknight show far away from home & I'm suffering a bit now, but overall it was worth it. I couldn't turn down the chance to see Spiritualized at the magnificent Sage again, after mak...

One Asian Under A Groove

Baby I'm just a fool would be a real treat. I'll second that! Thirded - I always thought that this would be a great opener, with the sublime wig-out at the end collapsing into the classic free jazz before going into Shine A Light. Given how fantastic it was to hear unexpected favourites such as Sta...

Ahhh, I remember this! I have to agree with good times' selections from the new album. I'd also like to add Poppy's giggling (it gets me every time, but then I am getting to that broody stage of life) and the choir's backing vocals of "Soooo looong" during the grand finale (reminds me of &...

One Asian Under A Groove

Great timing to resurrect this thread - I've just booked tickets to see them in a tiny club in Edinburgh in May. Very excited! The album has only been shifted from being my go-to album for the journeys to and from work by SHSL

One Asian Under A Groove

Thank you Tufty for soundtracking my life. Again. It's hugely appreciated. I half expect you to record my wedding for me!

One Asian Under A Groove

Thank you both for ripping the show for us all! I loved watching the stream on my lunch break with the old noise-cancelling headphones on - I felt like I was in my own Spiritualized bubble. The Orbital show today sounded great too. Thank goodness for 6Music.

One Asian Under A Groove

Thanks for the heads up about this - my entry is the last one there. I really could talk for hours about LAGWAFIS and none of it could come close to doing it justice.

Very heavily weighted towards what I have played over the past couple of years (i.e. since I last changed laptop) - the only song I remember being at the top of my Top 25 in the past was a song I found deliriously addictive at the time - the Manics' cover of Out Of Time. I'm pretty sure Going Down S...

Those trainers are phenomenal! Especially with the silver laces. I once wore a pair of silver trainers to a Spiritualized gig by way of knowing nod to J Spaceman's choice of footwear. Nobody cared.

MASSIVE thanks to the people who made the effort to record and share the recent shows. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates it hugely.

One Asian Under A Groove

It's been really interesting to read everyone's differing opinions about the show. I like the point that someone made about how in 6 months time, a lot of people who didn't like the main set of new material will be telling others about how they got to see the new album live at the Royal Albert Hall....

One Asian Under A Groove

My brief thoughts on tonight's show: - Sat upstairs at the front of the balcony for the first time at Queen's Hall and I'm so glad we did. a) I'm too old for this standing around business. b) A great, unimpaired view of the whole band. c) Avoiding the long-haired c*nt near the front who was causing ...

As soon as I saw the thread title, LAGWAFIS sprang to mind. It's three amazing songs, played together as one stunning suite of music, and forming the first quarter of my favourite album ever made. My other suggestions: Daft Punk - "Homework". Daftendirekt - Revolution 909 - Da Funk. U2 - &...
