I really need to get hold of this but, damn, its expensive to pick up...

Hate being late to the party sometimes.

Nice one. Thanks. Will have a listen today

...this was definitely not one of them!

My Japanese CD arrived last week. £12 customs charges!!!! Bastards! I paid for the correct shipping; what the fuck is that all about?!

Just as well the two extra tracks are fucking marvellous!

New Asteroid #4 album, Northern Songs. Loving it!

Laz69

That really does look nice

I have a 14yr old you is getting into vinyl and I did offer her the Plain issue. We had a listen to clips but she wasn't having it. Didn't think she would. I've spent the last few hours wondering where I've went wrong :D Sometimes you are merely planting the seed when they are young. Ive lost count...

The ME compilations have always been a great way to discover new (and old) music. This is wonderful news.

Nudity - God's Creation

A MONSTER of an album. Revisiting after randomly hearing Le Premier Voyage du Captaine while out walking yesterday. LOVE this album but that track in particular is a total trip!

Laz69

Just reiterating BZA's comments, i'm thrilled to see that this was recorded. An amazing show which, for me, just cemented Spiritualized as the greatest live band i've ever had the pleasure of seeing.

Thanks in advance for this Tufty! You are a legend!

Laz69

Did any of those gigs Jason mentions (Cathedrals with different arrangements, Norway gig with Northern Lights) ever actually happen? I'm almost certain there was a gig under the Northern Lights many years later (probably more recent to now than then) and i suppose the Acoustic Mainlines tour could ...

The Myrrors - Black Sand (Live in London) I've been totally lost in this album for the last few days. Definitely one of the best live bands i've ever seen. Their live shows are really something to behold and this LP really captures it. Amazing droned-out mantras which very few can match, and definit...

Brilliant Ian! Thanks for that

Has anyone let Pete K know?

Will be having a day of Beachwood Sparks today in honour of our anniversary. We had this as our first dance on our wedding day, 18 years ago. This will forever be our song.

On the flipside of this discussion about certain music being important at points in time, some music which i was mad about at the time fails to have the same effect nowadays. Nirvana, for me, are a good example. I LOVED them back at the start of the 90s and they opened so many doors for me, but i re...

this is THE live Verve recording. anyone who thinks they don't like them needs to hear this. shame as a fan you haven't heard much live stuff of theirs as that's where they really shine. you need to hear the Reading Festival '97 (although incomplete) and Glastonbury '93 both FM broadcasts.

I'm going to go with 1992, not because of being a revolutionary year for music in general, but because it was a tranisitionary year for me. I was having a think about this thread and have to agree with Stevie. It was certainly a big year musically for me as the Creation scene really took off. So ma...

While trawling an old hard drive yesterday for photos, i stumbled on this live show from 1994. Radio broadcast by the sounds of it, but the sound captured is incredible. I'm sure there are plenty of you that know the show i'm referring to. The guitars sound right up front in the recording letting yo...

I'm so very happy today! Totally deserved and long overdue. I hope now they can smash the rest of the records available (most wins, etc.) before the end of the season. Klopp has cemented his legend status at Anfield now.

Furlough put end to grabbing cheap tix, but i'm pretty sure i'll be heading down for this.

Hmm, just been listening to it on Spotify, and other than the previously released tracks, all the other tracks play back at the wrong speed. I listened to the whole of 'Spinning Coins...' like this, thinking it was an amazing drone, reading reviews and wondering how the reviewers were able to work ...

Listening now and, after upping the volume a good chunk, I'm loving it. If I was being greedy, I'd loved to have heard some treated guitar tear through some of the songs, but still a great return from Pete imo!

I’m also curious how you got the artwork to separate out to assign to the tracks – sorry of that’s not put very well – I mean the sleeve art that you designed in CW 01 etc shows the front and back as one image, yet the artwork embedded in the tracks is just the front one (really cool). How did you ...

And the initial mixes of the new Slipstream album

Laz69

And i've added a new "covers" ZIP file with just the sleeves i made if you just need them.

Laz69

Just checked my files again and found Vols 8-11 (i renumbered them - 12 became 11) including the covers i made for them. I'll replace Vol 8-11 in the dropbox link above so you can grab them.

Enjoy!

Yeah, all (nearly) back to as normal as can be under the circumstances. Wife was back at work two weeks ago but her boss could tell she still wasn't 100%, so she told her to just work half days. She had a full week last week and, although she was quiet, she still felt drainedcst he end of the day. S...

The Real Complete Works

Volumes 1-9 + 12 and a half done 10. uploading now, so i'd give it an hour and they should all be ready.

I think i did covers for 10 and 12 but don't have them to hand other than those included. Will keep looking for them.

Any probs, let me know.

Let me find what I have and I'll Dropbox them...

Looks like the HD concert is not able to be ripped audio-wise. Having trouble looking into it from home when all my usual apps are located in the office. I'll keep plugging away.

I have had better luck with the King Tuts gig, so wil try and get that separated out at first opportunity.

Laz69

The wonderful Helicon did one a few weeks ago and Sice from the Boo Radleys did one last week which was superb.

Nice to see artists making good use of technology to keep us fans entertained during lockdown.

Laz69

We all probably want to hear something new from Pete but we also know what he does best, being predominantly coming from an electronics perspective. I think the new track is better than Just Imagine IMO as it has a slightly different dynamic to the repetative, mantra nature of Just Imagine. Some of ...

Thanks for asking. I had to take her to a community assessment centre at the start of the week after she got rather bad.

Yeah, they were really good. Another of those bands that just disappeared unfortunately!

For me, Amazing Grace and Let It Come Down were simply leftovers from the Ladies & Gents sessions, so I'd be surprised if there would be much more of interest in the vaults from around then. That's when Jason lost his mojo a bit (IMO) and we had a couple of lacklustre albums. Some highlights, for su...
