just realised I will be seeing Ty Segall that night so I'm out too. now thinking about Manchester Psych Fest. there's no one big hitter on the lineup but there has been some good additions and I'm missing going to a festival. any one that been would be interested in your experiences- it's across mu...

angel-sighs

I think your previous mention of Horse Lords made me check them out actually, the album I tried first (The Common Task) didn't fully convince me, there were a fair few bits I didn't like. but then tried Comradely Objects and really enjoyed it. would definitely take the chance the see them live. seem...

angel-sighs

yeah I quite liked the instrumental versions of Let It Come Down tracks we got on the B sides. quite nice orchestral pieces. or that Cool Waves one that was just the string part

angel-sighs

I prefer the last 2 albums myself. for me I don't think it's the change of direction per se (would be a bit redundant if they were just repeating the early shoegaze sound) but as I say, I just think the change has gone down a road that's not for me. For me there's no songs here that match up to Lann...

Europe and UK, Sep and Oct. Could be good!

angel-sighs

any thoughts on new album? having my first listen today with a bit of trepidation. I think they may have changed direction away from what I like about them, which is how things go sometimes. the production is way too shiny for me, can't even blame Erol Akan this time as he wasn't involved with this ...

angel-sighs

my busy year gig wise has continued, three recent ones Kayla Painter/Sulk Rooms/James Adrian Brown- night of electronic music, nothing mindblowing but all quite different to each other Bill Ryder Jones- last minute choice , refreshing to hear some more crafted songwriting compared to a lot of the gi...

angel-sighs

later in the year filling up nicely. Russian Circles in October, fantastic live in my experience. looks like I will finally see Bdrmm at an all dayer. Minami Deutsch are touring again too. also some smaller bands, local promoter putting on Mengers, think a few here might enjoy these, fuzzy heavy psy...

angel-sighs

listened to 'Dying' by Spectres for first time recently, great to hear a 'shoegaze' album with some balls and noise. Sonic Cathedral seem on a great run recently but I reckon this was what began it. not sure if Spectres are still going?

angel-sighs

do you mean an alternate version of an album, with the vocals taken out ? or a full on instrumental album. I would be up for the latter for sure. neither of the last 2 albums had any instrumentals on right? I think it's a great area for Jason to work in, it often means he gets more ambitious without...

angel-sighs

thanks for link cantona, nice to read an interview with Vini, he seems pretty positive. I just wish the article was a bit longer. Okay here’s one for you Olan. What’s the best Durutti live recording? There’s at least a couple of official live albums as well as all sorts on the reissues. Do you have ...

angel-sighs

New Dirty Three album is finally on its way and the first song they have released is predictably flippin’ brilliant. album seems to be one long suite of separate parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHsMXa34tkU also another new album I am digging, Testament by Fire! on the ever reliable Rune Gramm...

angel-sighs

Oh man!! Would well be up for this but don't think I can make any of those

angel-sighs

Ah nice one cheers. I would be interested!

angel-sighs

just for clarity- is it a Slipstream album that's in the offing or the Satellite Seven one?

angel-sighs

I really like the Without Mercy 4 CD boxset, it's not an album that Vini even rates but I like the original work and the contemporary tracks are also great on the whole. The Durutti Column reissues are certainly coming thick and fast, lots of extra music to enjoy and they always seem fairly priced t...

angel-sighs

Well up for this, i like a good coffee table book at the best of times. A Spacemen one like this will be great. Maybe there won't be page by page captions by Jason, just an intro at the beginning? That's what I am imagining. I get the point about Jason not usually being someone who looks back. But ...

angel-sighs

Maybe he should just do a 'pay what you like' scheme, i'd happily bung him some money (the price of what the book would have cost) directly if a publisher isn't interested.

angel-sighs

thanks a lot for this! I can't remember if I already had a boot of that one or not. The Hultsfred show is also an all timer and I think it's been discussed on the board before. apparently this is a soundboard which is an improvement on previous boots but seems like the same quality as the recording ...

angel-sighs

I'll stick by Just Another Rainbow, it's a good song. if you are going to rip off the Beatles might as well do Rain. I agree that Squire in particular is capable of so much more. was reading about the first live show on the tour.. on stage for barely 50 mins, album in full then a cover of Jumping Ja...

angel-sighs

anyone had any more thoughts about this? still quite tempted.

was also looking at Arctangent down near Bristol. a day ticket could mean I see Mogwai, Electric Wizard, Slift and assorted other heavy stuff, then get the hell out of there without camping.

angel-sighs

also got Kim Gordon tickets, weirdly she has chosen Birmingham as her only other England date aside from London. Surely she can't produce that new album live? It's bloody good though. certainly will be interesting at the very least, it's always intriguing when you think "how the hell are they ...

angel-sighs

thanks all, might grab it as a nice little compilation regardless.
It was the Repeater that made me think some of the tracks may be exclusive- I also checked the duration against the PWF bonus track version

angel-sighs

anybody know anything about this compilation? looks like a good mix of artists with a connection to Pete K. are the Spacemen 3 tracks unique to this or also found elsewhere?

angel-sighs

pretty sure I saw a 5 star review somewhere too but maybe I am thinking of the Record Collector one.
I am sure this one benefits from being more of a cohesive album, whereas the last one had reworkings of some of their solo work

angel-sighs

16 year old me would have found this a dream team up for sure. it's still quite good for Squire to have a singer that can actually sing; and Liam to have someone with guitar skills! but yeah, not finding it very good unfortunately. pretty generic and Squire is more in Seahorses mode than Stone Roses...

angel-sighs

Ty Segall also playing in Birmingham, I don't know much about him checked out some stuff and seemed all over the map (not necessarily in a bad way). anyone seen him before- thoughts? Saw him 12yr back and he was superb, touring the Twins album, he’s only been in Scotland once since and I couldn’t m...

angel-sighs

oh, and last week I went to 3 gigs on the trot. I was absolutely shattered by the end, as Danny Glover once said I'm getting too old for this shit! Night 1- Constant Smiles/Clementine Valentine double headline date, bands from NYC/New Zealand respectively, about 20 people there max, they put out sea...

angel-sighs

Was Ummon really that different to Ilion though? the prog was always in the mix, along with the space rock, punk, etc but I guess for some the new one may tip the balance too far that way. I could see why 90 mins of it may not be the ticket if you are not in the right headspace. I think excess is a ...

angel-sighs

lots of legends passing recently. isn't the story that Damo joined pretty spontaneously, they found him busking on the street and asked if he fancied singing for them that night

bittersweet timing with the latest Can live album just coming out.. need to get my copy.

angel-sighs

yeah I wasn't sure what Project Gemini would be like as the albums have a collage kind of feel and seem like studio creations. but it was really good. the main fella was on bass duties. it was weird though, it was sold out but I think some people might have been there for the support act (think they...

angel-sighs

I do hear a bit of Love Will Tear Us Apart now you say it. I’ll be giving it a miss as well, at £40- odd notes they’re taking the piss. It’s a different issue but has to be mentioned, prices are out off control, can’t continue. No way I’m paying more to see Ride than JAMC, there’s a pecking order an...

angel-sighs

Slowdive last night in Birmingham. Driving up I was a bit confused by the huge queue stretching down the street. Although it was a sold out show, a lot of them were actually for another act in the same venue (can’t remember their name now..) Setlist was really spot on. I am not blown away by the new...

angel-sighs

Project Gemini & The Harmonic Exchange last weekend. both acts fit well together, bit of a cratedigging retro vibe from both. The Harmonic Exchange play versions of library music and TV themes, it got a bit kitsch at times but can tell they are good musicians Project Gemini were better, some gre...

angel-sighs

already been released but a new album.. forgot to mention the new Slift album 'Ilion'. it's a monster as expected. actually pretty exhausting to listen to all in one go! bit of a continuation of the last one but there's some nice saxophone sailing over one of the songs, and 'The Words That Have Nev...

angel-sighs

Finally listened to the two new songs. They're fine i suppose. Would agree that they could be from any modern dreampop act. Still troubled by a too clean and shiny production though. Maybe live they'll attain the required oomph. Kinda agree, quite liked the first song late last yr, then heard the l...

same here, i was nonplussed as to where i could hear any 'doom' whatsoever in Lankum?

yes hell of a line up. a trek for me too, if a bit less of a trek. but its a cracker.

Autobiography and new album on the way: https://www.michaelheadofficial.com/ I've not got on board with his music but i'd certainly be interested in the book.

angel-sighs

Just my luck, i would also certainly consider this! But i cant make it.
Even Follakzoid who are bit of a one trick pony but i would see them again
Also depends if Spiritualized are still playing a ballad heavy set really. Lets hope they take the 'Fuzz' part to heart..

angel-sighs

Absolute legend for sure. Another one who always seemed fit and healthy in recent years which somehow makes it even more of a shock. KOTJ surely up there as one of the greatest live albums. Something about the roar of the guitars and it still sounds very live, you can hear the ambience of that ballr...

angel-sighs

Thanks for flagging the Six Organs update. Sounds like he has a busy year planned, wonder if it includes any of his side projects. Also up for any UK dates, i would travel for that even in my increasingly lazy old age Another album i am looking forward to is the Jim White one , drummer extraordinair...

Ok guess i need to check this album out then. I thought it might just have been Radiohead lite. I like the idea of the Radiohead fellas working with a jazzier drummer

angel-sighs

Ticket price taking the piss, it will just be the album and a couple of covers. Still sold out that quick though, crazy.

I actually didn't mind the first song 'Just Another Rainbow' but the other single was the sub Seahorses garbage that I expected.

angel-sighs

He's a busy lad isn't he. The guy from Sonic Cathedral also teased on twitter the other day that Sonic has been involved in 'some of the finest music you will hear next year' which I took to mean an upcoming release on the label. Wonder what this was? Good question, trying to think what it might ha...

angel-sighs

still trying to check out end of year lists. is it just me who totally doesn't 'get' Lankum? they are on a lot of publication's lists, often at the top

a recent new discovery for me- Big Brave. super heavy guitars and female vocals, vaguely reminiscent of Bardo Pond but more grinding and industrial. https://bigbrave.bandcamp.com/ Saw these at EOTR festival last September. Brilliant noise,drone and feedback. Another similar band from Manchester I t...

now this I am up for. Paris 73 is coming next, much preferable for me as it's a different tour and with Damo too https://mute.com/can/live-in-paris-1973 the snippet sounds good but I am not sure what the overall audio sources will be like. I think a properly recorded multitrack show of this era may ...

i mean, I guess they are not so far away from some kind of goth flavour in their darker moments. not sure how well the polished new album will go down to this sort of crowd! also got people like Duster and Swans in there who are definitely less metal. aren't Slowdive apparently really big on tiktok?...

local promoters round these parts really seem to have upped their game recently- got some good stuff in coming weeks, names I recognise from the lower end of psych fest lineups. Juju, The KVB, Omni. Also Sunn 0))) might give them another chance after being underwhemled seeing them once before. It's ...

angel-sighs

realised I forgot to post about the Modern Nature gig I went to a few weeks ago. I actually got a free ticket as the venue put out a monthly email with free tickets to certain shows (presumably the ones that aren't selling too well). actually a decent crowd in the end. not sure how to describe the b...

angel-sighs

that's interesting if it's the case, as I took that the bands belief was that remastering was not needed when reissuing the bands catalogue. I recall from the first Ladies & Gents reissue (with the boxset) "I listened to it again and it still sounded fuckin amazing" or something

angel-sighs

Yeah agree, i mean it's okay but nothing great. Some of the shimmery guitar is nice but it's true that it is a bit close to modern dreampop type stuff

And yeah i would not say i generally go to Ride for incisive lyrics!

angel-sighs

Thanks for this, enjoyed reading it. Seems a new album is in the works but a way off yet.
Seems like a real ballache to tour in europe currently, no surprise.

angel-sighs

yup, not to mention Glok, and Andy's work with Masal, Pye Corner Audio etc.

thanks for the article! seems like I remembered it accurately enough. I would rather the kraut jams to be honest

but I will keep an open mind.

Catatonic Suns https://catatonicsuns.bandcamp.com/album/catatonic-suns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9wd5MsRspU I reckon they might be up the street of some of the folks here, definite vibes of Storm in Heaven Verve but with a heavier grungy vibe mixed in.
