Spiritualized

Slowdive played a Stadium? :?: Ha! No not quite but i see sm-iom beat me to it on the info front. Early 90s i saw the Pixies w/Pale Saints in there (still one of my all time favourite gigs), Primal Scream and Inspiral Carpets. Gig-wise it went fallow for a good few years but seems to have picked up...

Been to a load, but the standouts since the last September update are: Jim Jones All Stars, Upstairs in Whelans, Dublin which was superb. High energy maximum rock n roll on a Halloween night. This is what i want from a gig. Music from the gut slugging you in the gut. A poor reflection on Irish gig g...

I see Doggen has grown his hair.
I wouldn't be mad about that setlist tbh. At first it looks good but then when i go through it properly there's too many lulls.

Getting the 2 LP treatment on Space Age. A lot of music to fit on two records i'd have thought.

More like the Spiritualized version. Not really my cuppa but someone might like it.

From a recent interview: The band have also announced a small run of dates in November in the UK, Spain, and Italy, and Reid assures not only will there be more dates next year but there’s also a new Mary Chain album in the offing. “The album’s already done and will be out next year,” he reveals. “I...

Earth 2.23 Special Lower Frequency Mix: https://earthsl.bandcamp.com/album/earth-223-special-lower-frequency-mix A remix album that's actually really good. Remixes from The Bug/Kevin Martin, Robert Hampson (a 30 minuter :shock: ), Justin Broadrick and Brett Nelson. The Bug's mix is the only one with...

Went to see Pale Blue Eyes last night at the Corn Exchange in Hertford. First time I've been to the venue. It has a capacity around 300 people but it was only half full - maybe the bad weather, or maybe people prefer the London gigs. CIEL were the suppot, not really my cup of tea TBH. PBE, however,...

I wonder is the person who runs that YT channel from around here? Good bit of Spiritualized and some Spacemen 3 on it (don't think i've heard the Mermaid, Birmingham 1986 before).

sunray

Yep. Snapped up a ticket as soon as i saw it advertised online. First time playing here and my first time seeing them, so i am quite excited!

sunray

I wish Jason's ballads could move me like this does. Beautiful.

Infinite River: Nice bit of drone going on here via guitar, harmonium and tanpura. Two albums released this year, both worth a listen. First one 'Prequel' is folky and spacious but gets dronier as it progresses. Second lp 'Space Mirror' is the real winner imo. Kinda like the mellower, lighter side ...

Going to be a weekender on 3/4th May next year. Would anyone here be up for it? Lineup dependent of course.

Nothing but ballads i should imagine.

No way! Have been enjoying this album but didn't know it emanated from these parts

Suffers the same problem as the last album though with Neil muscling in on vocal duties. Fuck off mate! Know your place. Stare at your footwear, strum a guitar, stamp on some pedals, but keep your mouth shut. Jesus Christ. Are you serious? Neil is the leader of the band and the primary singer. Look...

End of The Road Festival Great festival, really beautiful location. Punters on site seem to respect the objectives of the festivals ideals. I don't think you'll see a cleaner festival site. Everything catered for, including a rare thing nowadays at a lot of festivals, a real ale tent. Too many spon...

Verdict on new album? Had a couple of listens and it's very ...smooth is the word that comes to mind. Very polished sounding. Still has that dreamy feel but it's leaning more towards 80s indie pop that anything else now. I like the first track when the synths are overtaken by the guitar coming in. ...

Another announcement coming on Tuesday. Looking at the artwork it's either a new album or Munki reissue. Yeah that artwork looks a bit of the rear track list from Munki Yep, Munki reissue it is. I actually don't think i'll bother. Even i realise it's ridiculous having so many copies of the same rec...

Most importantly, it's shite. As a track it's quite poorly put together imo.

Sherwood At The Controls...indeed :D On first listen it's bloody great. Just a pity it didn't come out during that blast of good weather we had in May and early June. I would have liked a little less vocals tbh but that's a tiny, tiny quibble. I'll be returning to this a lot. Looking forward to hear...

Got an email saying mine is in the post. I'd forgotten all about it tbh!

Yep, according to the blurb 'Join The Resistance' is a cover of the GAS track. The joyous, echo-laden groove of penultimate track ‘Join The Resistance’ bursts into life and continues to build to a moment of release with a huge Sabbath-esque riff. This track, originally released by the Swedish band G...

Sunray, you won't regret it. Very good read about the Creation label. Lot of good tidbits about various bands/musicians within the label, etc. Supposedly, their is/was a movie about Creation coming out w/ Danny Boyle directing ( Trainspotting fame ), but I haven't heard anything since ... The film ...

Browsing my local bookshop today i noticed a reprint of My Magpie Eyes are Hungry For The Prize has just been released. Never read it so might have to grab this updated edition.

Wellwater Conspiracy's debut album 'Declaration of Conformity' is getting the remaster/reissue treatment from John McBain. A couple of bonus tracks featuring Josh Homme too.
I think Runcible and a few others here are fans.

New Goat album 'Medicine' arriving in October. Multiple vinyl versions as usual: https://rocketrecordings.blogspot.com/

First track is pretty good. Thought it sounded a bit indie-psych at first but it worms its way in with a nice stoned groove.

Also been going backwards and hammering the Beaucoup Fish / Underworld remastered album - obviously streaming this as wtf would pay £30 to own it again - hey, this is the modern world, I’m enjoying it a lot more than when it it was released, anything coming after DNMWMH and STITI was up against it ...

Visions festival at Hackney. Really enjoyable day yesterday. Luckily all gigs were inside venues as it was pretty wet . I camped down in Hackney church as most of the stuff on was probably the best of the venues + the weather. Spiritualized headlined and we're great as usual. A bit of everything an...

That Oh Baby (Heavy Reign) Dubplate version is fucking class.
Listened to it 4 times last night, put it on first thing this morning and it's been stuck in my head all day. Listening to it again now. I would love to hear it on a big rig outdoors, sun shining and in a blissful state

One for the reggae freaks and sound systems, the Port O' Leith pub in Edinburgh has a lot to answer for :lol: https://on.soundcloud.com/symLs 8) Gotta say, the groove/beat focused tunes are where you should be channeling your energies rather than the Spiritualized knock-offs (i mean that in the nic...

Not got through them all Barry, i need to find the right moment/mood to dig in, but so far TMTTOS is a standout. Also Shines Like... A surprisingly straight forward WWJ.

Saw them at Glastonbury 1993. Didn't have high expectations so wasn't terribly disappointed. My mate (also a Spiritualized obsessive at that point) was more geared up for it than me. Beforehand, I told him that Spiritualized would blow them offstage the following night and there'd be no comparison b...

A live album it was. 'Sunset 666', recorded on two nights at the Hollywood Palladium in 2018: https://themarychain.com/ Slightly underwhelmed tbh. I was really hoping for new material.

Saw The Waeve in Dublin tonight. Pretty good i must say. Blur had a big outdoor gig in town the previous night and must have partied into the early hours as Coxon was admittedly knackered. Despite a couple of lyrical lapses he was grand though. He certainly wrangled some great sounds out of his guit...

Ha, yeah that's a big difference in that setlist alright. Almost identical to the last tour and suffering from pacing issues as usual.

Sounding pretty good from Glastonbury so far. Appetite whetted for Dublin in November.

On paper at least it's not a bad setlist, though the last three songs wouldn't really do it for me: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/spiritua ... 64a3c.html

With the prolonged period of sunny weather Stars Are The Light has been getting a lot of plays and, it has to be said, it really is a psychedelic masterpiece. Pure bliss, whether straight or in the outer realms

An announcement coming next Tuesday. Given the post had links for streaming sites i'm hoping it's a brand new album. Probably be a Darklands Live release instead.

On the second clip his shirt during the live footage would suggest 1998 :lol: :roll: :oops: Nerdy joking aside, on the second installment of that interview he mentions the CN Tower and WTC shows, which were Nov.97 and April 98 so i'm thinking it's from 1998. Unless they haven't yet played the WTC gi...

New Slowdive in September This is the first song Kisses. Have to say its a 'meh' from me. It's nice enough but it sounds just like at least 3 songs from the last record.
