Spiritualized

I am surprised at the lack of posts about just how gorgeous this re-issue is. I am pretty certain a lot of people who post here managed to get a copy. It is a revelation to me. It sounds fantastic and as many have mentioned I am hearing things in this pressing I have never heard before. Much more e...

I listened to it again last night which was the 3rd time with this and on the 1st track started picking up that the backing singers are singing the I Can't Help Falling in Love behind Jason quite early in the song...I don't think I'd ever noticed that before. So I'm assuming that on this pressing L...

Love the wallpaper! :lol: :lol: :lol: The wallpaper matches the Spacemen 3 poster over my turntable. It actually came with the house when we bought it in 2013. We have renovated every other room in the joint. I can't be arsed to remove the wallpaper (or change the hideous carpet) because (i) I am u...

In the meantime I’m spinning The Charlatans’ Us and Us Only. Best record the Stones never made.

Great track! ordered the single. thnx for the tip!

It’s still happening, afaik. They usually announce the Record of the Month on the 27th. It will then pop up in your account.

The Plain pressing is not that bad, especially compared to other Plain pressings, but it’s just the cd on vinyl. And cause the cd is mastered very well IMHO, the Plain lp sounds fine. But I am hoping for a step up with this new mastering. Fingers crossed. And @toomilk, I also swapped the john mayer ...

beaker73

I do hope this isn’t Songs For The Deaf all over again, where I signed up to get that and had to stay a member for three months and the lp got a general release as well. But I do need this reissue. Fingers crossed that Barry Grint does a good job.

Yes! Brilliant album! Criminally underrated band, the New FADS. Body Exit Mind is a true masterpiece, if you ask me.

Heck yeah! Fingers crossed here!

I got my signed edition from rough trade last week. Will start reading it next week, when I have some time off work. Very curious about it. He’s not the warmest performer on stage, seen him live a couple of times and was always disapointed by his performance. So I hope reading this won’t destroy my ...

Apparently it's been a while since I uploaded everything and I'm inept, but here should be everything for that Jane's show. Only problem I encountered was creating one large file folder. Everything is here, it's just all separated. I'm sure someone else can bundle the whole thing if they wanted, bu...

So sad. Brilliant songwriter. Was listening to this today. RIP John.

beaker73

The audio for the HD gig is only 128 kbs. I can convert it to flac, though, for anyone who wants it.

beaker73

Yes, I have. Thanks for posting it here. It is the show I was talking about. I even found a rip of a bootleg dvd that has a little better audio quality. Oh, if only they could put stuff like this out officially, instead of that street fighting years box set

Vinyl Me Please have it as a VMP Exclusive (300 copies in magenta coloured vinyl):

Courtney Barnett - Unplugged
Raymond v/h Groenewoud - Speel
The Thrills - So Much For The City
Simple Minds - Sisters Feelings Call (first UK pressing)
Isobel Campbell - There Is No Other
all vinyl.

I can imagine it could become a chore, when it should be a fun thing.
But yeah, keep me posted, I’d like that. Cheers!

beaker73

You and I must have exactly the same taste. Room is one of my favorite Simple Minds songs especially off of the first 3 records. That and Pleasantly Disturbed from Life In A Day. That one is an epic long track. Both done live on the 5 X 5 tour. I will look. I may well have that Rockpalast show as m...

beaker73

Funny thing reading your post as I myself had a similar experience this week. I saw the Kruder & Dorfmeister KD Sessions box set at my local store for 60 euro’s. Later, at home I did a search online and found it was 10 euros cheaper in a german online store with free shipping. That’s not a price dif...

beaker73

Ordered! Great thing with downloads in the order mail, nice touch, that!

beaker73

I would go for a comprehensive Spiritualized at the BBC boxset, sorta like the one the Super Furries did. All the sessions and maybe a couple of full Glastonbury gigs.

beaker73

Very sad news indeed. Such a wonderful musician. Love his solo work, especially Basement Dreams, his work with Ryan Adams and the Cardinals and Hazy Malaze: their first album is a lot of fun, upbeat groovy rock music, with more than a sniff of The Meters. He will be missed.

beaker73

Ha, beat me to it, just came here to post this

beaker73

There is that vinyl edition of LAG that was sold together with some record cover display frame. That one’s supposed to have the elvis version of the title track. That has to be a different cut than the original pressing and the Plain edition. And it’s rare. I should have got that one when it was rel...

beaker73

Oh man, that would be great! Cheers!
Will give Life ain a Day a spin tonight, haven’t heard it in ages.

beaker73

It's the albums up to and including Sparke in the Rain for me. I do like Once upon a time, because I played it to death when I was a kid (not to mention live in the city of light) But there is one particular thing I am curious about. I used have a Rock Palast broadcast of a pre-NGD gig that had an e...

beaker73

Wow, what a great gift you got there. Have you thought about what you’re gonna do with the tapes? Digitize ‘m and share them perhaps? #askingforafriend

But really, just curious.

beaker73

There is also this pretty decent compilation:

beaker73

Yep, that was it.

beaker73

I think I would find that setlist quite hard work. I can understand the whole album thing with orchestra, choir and all the bells and whistles, but with just a core band? Strikes me as a bit of a snoozefest. It was a bit of a snoozefest. Playing ANH completely wit all the midtempo ballads was a bit...

beaker73

Listening to this now. Sounds pretty good. Rocket is great indeed, as is the title track. Can’t help but wonder how much better sound quality wise ANH would have sounded if Jason had used a proper mixing engineer. I mean if Steve Mason - not a big seller, is he? - can afford Stephen Street, so could...

beaker73

I checked out that compilation, too. But some people are not too wild about the sound quality, masteringwise. So I decided to go for the OG creation lp and take it from there

beaker73

Never heard of this band before this thread here. Made me check 'm out. Taste is, well not my taste. It's good, but I know I won't play it much. The selftitled one on the other hand: really like it. I took a punt on a original vinyl copy which is on its way to me now. Can't wait to blast it over the...

Here's my old rip of the whole Select Exclusives tape, in flac:

Just found out that Mercury Rev have live recordings on bandcamp! Got a show from 2002 for €8 or something that was hires/24 bits and sounds great!
Wouldn’t it be great if Jason did something like this? One can always dream

beaker73

Funny, that. Got that same cd a couple of weeks ago. The mastering on it is quite good, too, sounds better than the original cd and/or cd-singles.

beaker73

I preordered the SFA BBC set this morning. Was too late for the super deluxe version with the extra live album. But that one was limited to 150 or something copies.
edit: the 4 lp vinyl version is gone now, too.

beaker73

No signature on the silver one here also and I would like to say that the silver version sounds way better than the orange pressing. It has much more dynamics.. Funny, that the silver pressing sounds better, it appears to have the same deadwax info as the orange version. So they should sound the sa...

beaker73

The Morning After is a bit too much a sequel to Hey Jane, for my taste. Also not too keen on the saxophones in that track.
Love sax solo's on the other tracks, though.

beaker73

Anyone here familiar with Loudon Wainwright III (Rufus'dad). I think The Lonely Rock 'n roller in Let's Dance is a nod to his song Motel Blues, which opens with "In this town the television shuts off at two; What can a lonely rock 'n roller do".

mkb started a thread on this also. It’s an odd choice for this type of release, since GODGU isn’t too well regarded. It’s a mixed bag, but I quite like it myself, but I’m in the minority, I think. Anyway, I’m interested in hearing this, but it’s not an automatic buy. Especially since the vinyl relea...

beaker73

thanks for posting that Q mag. I’m so psyched for the album to arrive. Still managed to hold off listening to the already releases tracks. I want to sit down with a glass of wine and listen to it in one sitting, on vinyl

beaker73

It can (and I wouldn't rule it out), but I think that if the album is released next week then it's more likely to be a digital release with pre-orders open for the physical album to ship when it's ready. I agree. Would love this to happen. Let us download and order a special edition box set of the ...

beaker73

Thanks mate. Got mine today. Lovely pressing. Although not all that different from the plain reissue, to be honest. I did a quick a-b sorta test (I don't usually do this sorta thing), and there are differences but subtle. Bass is a little tighter on the new one and it sounds a little more balanced, ...

beaker73

So, how does it sound?

beaker73

Keep checking discog and put it on your want list. You'll get email notifications when a new one pops up. I got one coming my way I paid £39 for and the day after I took the plunge one showed up that was only £29

Oh well, first world problems

Funny how things sometimes work. I remember having a couple of mp3's that I downloaded probably after reading this thread.
