Spiritualized

Any Pale Saints fans on here? The Comforts of Madness is one my fav all time albums, so I'm delighted to hear that it's getting a special 30th anniversary release. Original album, demos, unreleased tracks and Peel Session. Really looking forward to this. Hope they do the same with Ultra Vivid Scene ...

Just pre-ordered the new Aliens live album "Live on the Moon". Out on the 29th Nov:

https://the-aliens.bandcamp.com/album/l ... the-moon-2

The blurb says "The Aliens state that this live album clears the way for release of new material." Nice one, can't wait!!

stegraham

I see that Rose City Band have signed to the Thrill Jockey label, and they are re-releasing the debut album again:

https://thrilljockey.com/products/rose-city-band

Hope this means that there'll be more records by them, and maybe a tour?

Hawkwind at the Albert Hall on the 26th Nov. Not really a big Hawkwind fan, but it's their 50th anniversary concert, so hoepfully will be good evening. Hope they play "It's so easy"!

It's a great little record. Got a copy last week from Rough Trade. I am eagerly awaiting his third album. His last solo album, Mad Love, was released in 2012 - 7 years ago!

stegraham

Did they mention if their last album - Out of the Blue - will ever get a physical release? The "cover" for the download looks ace, and would be great on a 12" sleeve.

Ste

stegraham

I see there's a new A Winged Victory For the Sullen long player released today:

The Undivided five - there are a few sound clips at the URL. Sound good. I've added it to my Xmas list!

Great to see that Elephant Stone are makign a comeback - next album out new year in Feb:

The new track on that page sounds like a Bobby Dazzler!

Not a review of a gig as such. I went to watch The Cult doing their Sonic Temple 30 gig at Hammersmith Apollo on Sunday night. They were great - Billy Duffy was on fire - the songs are made for playing live. But my only grip is that there were far too many people crammed in - it was like sardines, r...

Enjoying the new Cheval Sombre single:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMZ_dy1h3KY

I like it better than Had Enough Blues.

Only 300 copies of the 7" made - I think. Hopefully have one on order from Rough Trade. Surely this means he'll have new album out soon...

Ste

stegraham

I still don't understand why we haven't had a proper UK tour for this album. It's well over a year since it's release. Any rumours?

stegraham

Plus I see that the Aliens are planning on releasing a live record before they release new material. Good stuff!

stegraham

Enjoying the title track off the new EP. Like A Ripple:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtpov6wQ4dI

Nice!

stegraham

Yes, the new record arrived yesterday and I listened to it 3 times in a row when I got home from work. Really like it. Droney mellow feel but bouncy at the same time.

stegraham

Mine's in the post - can't wait for it to arrive. Loved Ripley's Rose City Band record earlier this year, so very much looking forward to this.

stegraham

Enjoying the new Isobel Campbell song: https://www.isobelcampbell.com/?fbclid=IwAR2vbxoak7ESIKHYW_5jzDYyaTP6d3TFbo3XiLlHkAOTwqJTPleUCYwRckM#vid New album next year and short tour. It looks like she's playing the same venue twice in the same evening in London. A 7pm start and a 9pm start? Strange! Ste

stegraham

September is a good month for album releases:

L'épée
Moon Duo
3 Stereolab re-issues
Subhumans
Belle & Sebastian
The Cult

Also Cheval Sombre has just announced a new single - so hopefully his next album will be on the way soon... it seems to have been in the making for years!

stegraham

I vaguely recall hearing that Bluurg kinda stopped at some point, or at least stopped putting out new material. I think it was around the time he moved from that address in Melksham that was always printed on every record, though that was a while ago now. Apologies if I'm just being crap at Googlin...

stegraham

It's the first Suhumans album since 2007's Internal Riot. However, Dick has kept busy with a Citzen Fish album (2011's Goods) and two EPs, plus a Culture Shock album (2016's Attention Span) and an EP released last year. All three bands seem to be constantly on tour - not sure how he remembers all th...

Regressing back to my teenage years I'm on Punk trip at the moment - 3 new-ish band who have all released albums this year: Bad Breeding - Exiled: Got a real old school anarcho-punk feel, like a cross between Flux of Pink Indians and Icons of Filth, with maybe a bit of Discharge thrown in.Great nois...

For that price they must be using Jo Malone candles!!

stegraham

Wonder if there'll be some pre-sale info soon - hope so! Looks like it's part of a festival - "Somewhere Festival". never heard of it!

stegraham

Ha

I just posted the same news too - it's the 14th though isn't it?

stegraham

Great news!!!

re: Piroshka album. I agree with you. I've probably listened to it twice all the way through, thought it was was a bit bland, and any other attempts to listen as lead me to fast forward, skip tracks and eventually putting something else on. I guess I'm more of an Emma fan - I thought the two Sing Si...

Interesting interview with Miki from Lush (and now Piroshka) about why Lush initially split up and then why they split up again. I didn't release they were going to call it a day before Chris Acland comitted suicide (well, Emma annouced she was quitting). Bit of a bitter sweet read really: https://t...

Got my vinyl from Norman Recs. It doesn't have a DL code, do you only get the DL code if you buy from their bandcamp site, does any one know?

Ste

stegraham

Well, I let the moths out of the wallet, and splashed the cash on the vinyl. Odered online from a UK record shop. Looking forward to getting it and having a good listen.

stegraham

Just seen - on the Moon Duo FB page - that Ripley has a new project called Rose City Band. Listened to a couple of tracks on youtube and sound good - nothing radical or different than what he usually does, maybe a bit more country? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AJ5vGM7ID4 I'm usually a CD'er, but...

stegraham

I see they have a new album out soon - "Ape on Sunday". Nice looking cover!

This box set covers 86-90, and it's a follow up to "Another Splash of Colour" which covers 80-85 and was released a couple of years back: https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/another-splash-of-colour-new-psychedelia-in-britain-1980-1985/ BTW, listened to "The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse&...

Not sure if it has been released before, but got this last week. I haven't had a proper chance to listen to all 3CDs more than once, but there are some tracks on it which are new to me and I think are great. I knew the name "legendy pinks dots" but never heard them before and I think their...

stegraham

I see, from FB, that Ride have recorded a new long player and will be releasing soon! Good to see that they are not standing still. Looking forward to hearing some of the new stuff.

stegraham

Sad news! Such a shock! Experience is still one of my fav dance records from back in the day. Rave in Peace Keith!

stegraham

I must admit I don't know the original record (need to sort that). I like the overall vibe of the record, not keen on some of the vocals, but I LOVE the version of Tobacco Road. The "chorus" has almost a Spiritualized feel to it - maybe from the LICD era. Great track!

Ste

stegraham

Need to get the "Live Frequencies " album then! Haven't got/heard it!

stegraham

I love the first album, but thought subsequent releases didn't up to that initial high standard. Can't believe I have 5 albums by them - need to revisit the last one "Bleeding Eyes" - can't remember much about it TBH.

Ste

stegraham

Finally got around to listening to the new Steve Mason album, About the Light, last night . Liked it so much that I listened to it three times in a row. 10 tracks and exactly 40 mins in length, what a great record! I especially like the second song, Rocket, but they are all ace! Hope the record does...

stegraham

I see they have a new album (Exploding Head Syndrome) out at the start of next month. The song they've made a video for is actually really good:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzIGCebzw04

Pleasantly surprised by this - haven't bothered with them since #4, but might give this record a go!

My introduction to the Telescopes was via the 2nd album back in 92/93. I loved it, and I loved the 3 singles from that era too - Everso, Flying and Celeste. If you like the second untitled album then I highly recommend getting one the compilations such as: https://www.discogs.com/The-Telescopes-Spla...

Just spotted this - out in March on Cherry Red: Losing Touch With My Mind – Psychedelia In Britain 1986-1990 (https://www.cherryred.co.uk/product/various-artists-losing-touch-with-my-mind-psychedelia-in-britain-1986-1990/) Looks interesting - obviously SP3 are featured.

I see that to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Telescopes first album, Taste, there is a documentry being made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqvG99sfDZg Out later this year. I really like the first two albums - both have different vibes (the first track off Taste could have been from the sec...

oh yes, I also enjoyed the Belle & Sebastian one, Primal Scream new/old version of their 4th long player and Vive La Void, but ..... not that keen on: Les Big Byrd - Iran Iraq Ikea: great single (I Little more numb), but thought the rest of the album was a bit dull really The Lucid Dream - Actua...

I guess the main one would be some UK Spiritualized gigs!! What's taking so long to get some in the diary?

Well, I know this thread was started to look at what other people where saying about the best albums of 2018.

Never knew about the "lost" 1996 album, so looking forward to hearing that.

I agree with the saxophone comment - I can't be doing with them at all. I fast forward that track. On the other hand, if it was noisey crazy guitars I would turn it up and smile! It's over a month since ANH was released, are people still listening to it on a regular basis? Opinion changed over time?...

I see that the latest Cheval Sombre 7" - Had enough blues, is available in UK places. The P&P was too much for me from the states - just bought a copy from Sonic Cathedral. Smashing!

stegraham

Yes, I saw that on FB earlier. It's a cracker, isn't it? Really liked the EP last year he did with Martin Duffy - Alien Stadium. Seems to be going from strength to strength!

stegraham

That version of Stay with me is great. It lead me on to this video @ Glast in 04. Wow it's great:

Really enjoying the new record. I've been on holiday for the last two weeks, so only just got hold of the physical copy yesterday - great stuff. Think my fav track is Let's Dance, and then the Prize.

I think Jason is missing a trick. Doing something like this would be great publicity stunt and help promote the new record:

There’s been some great releases over the last 2-3 months: Chatham Rise - Meadow Sweet: really like this band. Lovely mellow shoegazey sound. Best track “Surf in G”.

I must admit when Indian Giver and War Sucks were released (blimey, can't believe that's nearly 10 years ago now), I thought that a proper new Spectrum album would follow but, alas, it was not to be!

stegraham

I'm really enjoying the teaser track (Up in the Sky) from Clint Sargent's new project "True Primitives". Album out later this month. To my ears - maybe it's the vocal - sounds abit like early Dandy Warhols.

Well, it's finally arriving. The joint Dean Wareham/Cheval Sombre "western" album. Go to wait until October, but very much lookign forward to this:

If Jason is finding it time consuming and stressful to produce the Spiritualized records, then maybe he could do with a little help? I understand there's a fellow called Soinc Boom who produces quite a few records nowadays.....

stegraham

Yes, I see that the A4 album is available on vinyl (not in UK stores yet?) and download, but no CD version as yet. CD is my preferred medium noawdays, so hope that is in the pipe line.

Got the new Wooden Shijps album yesterday and loving that - especially tracks 4,5 and 6 - flippin' magic!
