Finally got to see Asteroid No. 4 last night here Norwich of all places, honestly thought I'd never get to see them. Brilliant set, really tiny venue, small crowd but they were incredibly tight and seemed to have a good time despite a malfunctioning smoke machine that filled the entire venue and mad...

Sim

Anyone know if this is for the US RSD only? Can’t see it in the UK list.

Sim

Seems there’s a digital release on 12th August and physical in November.

Sounds like the punters who were in the theatre foyer where Dreamweapon was recorded are actually now Jason's audience!

I can't hear that Feel So Sad reference at all, any pointers?

I think it's the horn that comes in at 1:45 on Mainline Song that's similar to the horns in FSS?

Sim

If he swapped out Come Together and Soul On Fire for Heading For The Top Now and I Am What I Am and rearranged the setlist a bit it would work better. Absolutely, I was at Cambridge and Come Together really sounded odd sitting between Soul on Fire and Sail on Through, the drums at the start of CT r...

Anyone got any idea about the thank you simply to "youtube D song"? He mentioned in an interview that A Song was based on a youtube clip from Sydney of the same song. Maybe he meant D Song instead/too? The thank you to Chris Barrus is for that upload of D Song. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I like the retrospective credit for ukulele on Perfect Miracle. Not sure how that will get entered on Discogs!

Kate’s mum? I think he’s mentioned still being close to Kate’s parents in an interview.

J Astronaut is a new one!

Anyone received any badges or prints yet?

In case anyone else is in the same boat Kontraband have just come back to me to confirm that the badge sets will be sent out separately.

Glad to see those with delayed LAG will be getting them soon! Who knows, maybe they will be a better pressing?

Sim

LICD box & vinyl finally arrived yesterday, although without the promised badge set that was meant to be included as compensation for the delays. Not going to complain too much on here though as I know that some are still waiting for their copies of LAG to arrive which must be way more frustrati...

Was getting worried I had no shipping notification about my LICD order, then just got this.... Sorry to have to give you more bad news about your Spiritualized order.

Sim

Some things I've never heard before (though they might just be bullshit!) like how he lost an album's worth of demos between LICD and Amazing Grace when he left his only copy in a taxi. I'm sure I've heard that story before but it was just after LAG came out and the story was that he left the origi...

Has (The Bridge Song) done a complete loop in terms of its title? When it first came out on the Space Project compilation it was titled 'Always Forgetting With You' in all the media releases, but on the release itself it was titled 'Always Together With You'. I assumed this was a misprint as I think...

Sim

Morse code at the start is a nice link with ANH also, anyone worked out if it says 'Everything was beautiful' yet?

Sim

Complete Works.. Again not sure. Wouldn't they be like triple vinyl? Does anyone remember if they were ever on vinyl in the first place? I think 2003 was probably the darkest days of vinyl, and any collectors would likely have had the actual singles anyway. I think they were just a way to easily ge...

Something that's puzzling me... When Ladies and Gentlemen was reissued for the 12(?) year anniversary Jason came to an agreement with Elvis' estate to be able to use the Elvis version of the title track but it had to be called Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (I Can't Help Falling In Lo...

I had a very prompt response from Patrick on Monday (within the hour, and I'm UK he's US). Extremely helpful and kept me updated, sent me tracking numbers for the replacements yesterday too.

My GITD is still at the post office waiting for me to pick it up, hopefully tonight. Will give it a listen over the weekend probably, fingers crossed it's not as bad as some as reporting but I fear the worst. I must say that given the Spaceman Reissue Program was meant to be giving us the 'definitiv...

Does the subscription come with the records? Where did you subscribe from? Yes, they have two subscription types available on their website, with and without the record (sometimes it's a CD). I've been a subscriber for over two years now, it's a really good magazine, excellent content, and the reco...

Sim

I subscribe too and this was a real surprise when I opened it! Not sure I've seen the photo on the sleeve of the 7" before.

Sim

He tried applying the Pure Phase way of recording to other material but it didn't work at all. https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/classic-tracks-spiritualized-come-together This is a nice article documenting the recording/mixing of LAG which mentions such an attempt (towards the end of the art...

Sim

Actually no, I'm getting confused. I think LAG was also cut from the original masters so not remastered either. Is that right?

Sim

LGM & PP are described as half speed masters from the originals so should be better quality but not remastered as such.

But if LAG is the same as the VMP pressing then that should be remastered I think?

Sim

You can still get to the LGM shirts, mugs etc if you select Merch from the store menu, otherwise it defaults to the PP stuff

Sim

I have a theory that Good Times may not originally have been intended to be on the album (see the track listing on the original vinyl sleeve, and on the new TShirt). Not sure if Jason changed his mind or they ended up with a spare side of vinyl but they put it on the last side of the vinyl together...

Sim

I never knew about the tracklisting differences between CD and vinyl versions. was it a case of just splitting the title track across two sides or something? I have a theory that Good Times may not originally have been intended to be on the album (see the track listing on the original vinyl sleeve,...

Sim

Scratch that, up on Fat Possum UK now, and Norman....

** oops, bit behind, forgot to refresh!

Sim

Looks like only on the US site for now. UK only has LGM.

Are they only showing the tracklisting for the CD or have they modified the vinyl tracklisting so it matches the CD now?

A fine fine city institution, as was Backs before it!

Have only lived in Norridge since 2005 but knew of Backs from the occasional conversation with Paul. Are you Norwich/East Anglia based too?

Hey rapideye, if you're in Norwich UK then we're neighbours! If so, is that Paul at Soundclash you mention in your post?

Well done Shines! Don't worry, I think you'll have a sell out on your hands, ordered mine!

Sim

In the video clip Will mentions Didgeridoo, which turned into Sway. This is on Blue On Blue, so I guess some of the other cassettes will contain stuff that was on both that and Friendly Fire? Probably quite a lot more though.

Sim

This was an interesting endeavour undertaken by mc - viewtopic.php?t=9688

Sim

Also curious is that it's dated 1993, yet in line with Pure Phase and the Spiritualized Electric Mainline name and stylised logo / artwork - which I didn't think appeared until around the release of the album in 1995. I have to admit I'm not sure I've listened to it since I found it many years ago....

Sim

Another release that seems to be quite rare (in that it rarely appears for sale) is the CD single of Lay Back in the Sun. Is that the "dedicated spirit 007cd" CD single, just titled Spiritualized Electric Mainline, with Good Times, Lay Back In The Sun and Electric Mainline on it? I was th...

Looking back thru this thread I'd forgotten how much discussion we had about what the track lists for the 2 albums were going to be.

The fan-circulated summer and autumn collections were really a cobbled together mixture. Some tracks were unfinished and may have been intended as b-sides for shelved EPs (Twice). I think Cutwater was also on there which was on the free 7" given out with Need For Not. Also some of the tracks ma...

Sim

Not sure if Natty heard the new release versions but the Bickers versions have been available for a few years now from various sources. From what I understand they've been remastered for the official release though so should sound even better. Certainly the RSD ep sounded much better than the files ...

Yep, Bickers versions, as they will be on the Meanwhile Gardens LP release too

I'd be interested in this too but like you I can't find any details. Rock Action was reissued last year as part of the PIAS anniversary but I don't think Happy Songs was part of that.

In Take Your Time the endless layers of power that kept being added were worthy of Bardo Pond - never has that song sounded so great!

On great form tonight in Cambridge, really good sound at the Junction. Set list pretty much the same as Sage, but with Take Your Time moved and the main set finishing with Electric Mainline.
