I think I would find that setlist quite hard work. I can understand the whole album thing with orchestra, choir and all the bells and whistles, but with just a core band? Strikes me as a bit of a snoozefest. It was a bit of a snoozefest. Playing ANH completely wit all the midtempo ballads was a bit...

Listening to this now. Sounds pretty good. Rocket is great indeed, as is the title track. Can’t help but wonder how much better sound quality wise ANH would have sounded if Jason had used a proper mixing engineer. I mean if Steve Mason - not a big seller, is he? - can afford Stephen Street, so could...

beaker73

I checked out that compilation, too. But some people are not too wild about the sound quality, masteringwise. So I decided to go for the OG creation lp and take it from there

beaker73

Never heard of this band before this thread here. Made me check 'm out. Taste is, well not my taste. It's good, but I know I won't play it much. The selftitled one on the other hand: really like it. I took a punt on a original vinyl copy which is on its way to me now. Can't wait to blast it over the...

Here's my old rip of the whole Select Exclusives tape, in flac:

Just found out that Mercury Rev have live recordings on bandcamp! Got a show from 2002 for €8 or something that was hires/24 bits and sounds great!
Wouldn’t it be great if Jason did something like this? One can always dream

beaker73

Funny, that. Got that same cd a couple of weeks ago. The mastering on it is quite good, too, sounds better than the original cd and/or cd-singles.

beaker73

I preordered the SFA BBC set this morning. Was too late for the super deluxe version with the extra live album. But that one was limited to 150 or something copies.
edit: the 4 lp vinyl version is gone now, too.

beaker73

No signature on the silver one here also and I would like to say that the silver version sounds way better than the orange pressing. It has much more dynamics.. Funny, that the silver pressing sounds better, it appears to have the same deadwax info as the orange version. So they should sound the sa...

beaker73

The Morning After is a bit too much a sequel to Hey Jane, for my taste. Also not too keen on the saxophones in that track.
Love sax solo's on the other tracks, though.

beaker73

Anyone here familiar with Loudon Wainwright III (Rufus'dad). I think The Lonely Rock 'n roller in Let's Dance is a nod to his song Motel Blues, which opens with "In this town the television shuts off at two; What can a lonely rock 'n roller do".

beaker73

mkb started a thread on this also. It’s an odd choice for this type of release, since GODGU isn’t too well regarded. It’s a mixed bag, but I quite like it myself, but I’m in the minority, I think. Anyway, I’m interested in hearing this, but it’s not an automatic buy. Especially since the vinyl relea...

beaker73

thanks for posting that Q mag. I’m so psyched for the album to arrive. Still managed to hold off listening to the already releases tracks. I want to sit down with a glass of wine and listen to it in one sitting, on vinyl

beaker73

It can (and I wouldn't rule it out), but I think that if the album is released next week then it's more likely to be a digital release with pre-orders open for the physical album to ship when it's ready. I agree. Would love this to happen. Let us download and order a special edition box set of the ...

beaker73

Thanks mate. Got mine today. Lovely pressing. Although not all that different from the plain reissue, to be honest. I did a quick a-b sorta test (I don't usually do this sorta thing), and there are differences but subtle. Bass is a little tighter on the new one and it sounds a little more balanced, ...

beaker73

So, how does it sound?

beaker73

Keep checking discog and put it on your want list. You'll get email notifications when a new one pops up. I got one coming my way I paid £39 for and the day after I took the plunge one showed up that was only £29

Oh well, first world problems

beaker73

Funny how things sometimes work. I remember having a couple of mp3's that I downloaded probably after reading this thread. And that I always enjoyed hearing them when they turned up when the old ipod was in shuffle mode. And now the revived thread made me google for a download and found a blog by on...

Curious if anyone who has just recently gotten into Acetone has any thoughts now that you've had some time to dive in. I finished the book, Hadley, Lee, Lightcap , and loved it. Definitely recommended. I've been listening to Acetone fairly regurarly ever since I discovered them this summer. And I'm...

Yes! Thank you very much for sharing!

Appearantly hell has frozen over

Thnx, that's quite the list.
One would think that, since the gig was recorded, it would have been out there somewhere.

beaker73

can anyone point me towards where I can find a complete recording of the '97 washington 9:30 club gig? the tracks that are on the live cd in the box set are great, and that version of stormy clouds/ reprise that's in the video is also from that gig and one of my favourite pieces of music period. thn...

Seems Yorke Blvd is pretty easy to find new, I ordered one yesterday through amazon.de, for a regular price. Can't wait to spin it...

beaker73

Thanks for all input on this band. I'm really liking what I've heard so far. It's great to discover new - well, at least to me - music like this!

Aha, ok, I was wondering about that.

beaker73

Thnx mate!

beaker73

Cindy would be the one to start with. Sublime from top to bottom. I like the later ones, but they can feel a bit relentlessly slow and quiet sometimes. Like slowcore country or something I never did get round to getting York Blvd, y'know :oops: York Blvd. is closer in style to Cindy than their slow...

Is the tracklist of the LITA release a good one?

beaker73

Thanks for the response you guys. I will check 'm out!

beaker73

Can you compare them to another band, as in 'they sound a bit like...'?

beaker73

Got an email from Light In The Attic yesterday they're releasing a compilation of Acetone, a band which appearantly comes recommended by J Spaceman. Personally, I've never heard of 'm. Anyone here know Acetone? Are they any good?

Haven't posted anything for quit some time, but have been lurking on a daily basis, mostly in the Music section. So I missed this whole thing, until yesterday when I decided to check some other topics. Anyway, like others before me, I just want to express my thanks to the mods and all the members fo...

I agree with Si Jones's comments- even at their most commercial The Verve were much more interesting than Oasis, with much better influences going on. they are in a bit of a weird situation where because of the huge success of Urban Hymns they almost have two different fanbases. the early fans thin...

beaker73

the fade between Make it till Monday and Blue is missing, leaving a jarring effect apparently. on the original publicity the DVD also contained the videos for the early singles and a song 'staring stranger' has been omitted from the Camden gig. not sure if these will be rectified. may take the plun...

In the booklet for ASIH John Leckie says he recorded all the jam sessions to DAT, cause they had no songs. So there must be something in the vaults. Would love to hear some of those!

beaker73

It's a nice package and the Loco sessions on disc 3 are ace, the booklet makes for a depressing read tho! I agree on both accounts. I remember reading somewhere that Funkadelic was a big inspiration for ANS and those loco sessions prove it. Such a loose groove going n there. Brilliant stuff. The ra...

This just in, from the Paradiso mailing list, Spiritualized plays the London Calling Festival at the Paradiso, Amsterdam on Friday, 30th october.

I'm curious about this. How can it sound better than the original lp when the bootleggers, presumably, didn't have acces to the original mastertapes? I have an original copy of ASIH on vinyl, and a bit worse for wear as it may be, it sounds vastly superior to the cd, which I assume woulde be the sou...

my sympathies to you. Know what you're going through, our house got flooded two weeks ago after a torrential downpour. My records were luckily stored upstairs, so no ham there. But it's just a mess to sort everything out. Oh well... we'll live

Yep, that data disc is nice. Shame though that the original album is included in 16-44.1 wav while the appendix tracks are in hirez 24-48. Why not the whole thing in hirez then?

Gave it a spin last night. On first listen it sounds good. LP are quiet and flat. Haven't been able to really crank up the volume since ms Beaker isn't to keen on mogwai, but even at low volume it sounds more spacious and detailled compared to the original cd. The packaging is lovely, with some nice...
