Spiritualized

mh

Everybody borrows, whether subconsciously or not. We're at the point, in music, that everything has been done before. The smart ones know how to recycle correctly. Oh, I wouldn't say everything's been done before, not by a long shot. We've been in situations in the past where people have made the s...

Taste was great fun, definitely an interesting listen if you came to it expecting something different!

Anybody else got the "Trademark of Quality" live LP? The versions of the songs on that are far superior, IMO, to the studio versons.

mh

Let's not forget dear old Jaz Coleman either,

Kevin Ogilvie.

I've a copy of this as well but I guess it's the one in regular circulation, although I can't remember where I got it and it's so long since I've listened to it that I can't remember if it's edited or not. Anyway, peppe 's version is so clearly superior that I'm a happy man and giving two thumbs up!...

mh

That explains a lot. It had puzzled me that Pete B came across with such a negative attitude and bitterness, but yet kept on coming back. Sometimes the simplest answer is the one, indeed.

mh

I've also been looking for a copy of the US World Around with Purgatory and the different Mantra for some time now with little success..... one will turn up one day and I'll be very happy when it does. Where did you locate the copy you found mh? Amazon. :D They have a few copies: http://www.amazon....

I have all of those but I wouldn't upload official tracks either. It's a surefire way to risk attracting the wrong kind of attention, which would mean that the unofficial goodness would have to stop. What I'm interested in is knowing more about the version of Mantra on the US World Around. I have a ...

As I said elsewhere - liking him is optional, but you can't deny what he did. He may have been 95% a chancer and an opportunist, but he was still the one.

mh

The reasons Pete gives for the original release sounding like it does are acceptable tho, they wanted the records and live shows to sound the same The irony being that they then didn't even play most of the songs live...! :lol: I think that there's room for both versions to exist. The stripped down...

mh

OK, I've got 224k MP3s. I'm not certain what the source is, but someone has faded the chatter from the end of Electric Mainline (so it's only 17:36). I might have another copy of these at my parent's, but it will be at least a few weeks until I can get back to check. I also completely forgot to chec...

mh

I've the full 18 minutes of bliss (with annoying DJ chatter over the end, unfortunately), but I'm not certain if it's lossless or not. I'll have a look tonight. :D can you upload it lossless or not? :D If it's lossless I'll upload it lossless. :D If not I'll upload it anyway for anyone who doesn't ...

I plump for Acoustic Mainlines. No live LP could really capture the experience of the full-on electric Spiritualized assault, plus the AM stuff includes some nice reinterpretations of well known tracks as well as performances of tracks that are rarely played these days. In other words it seems to ha...

New Model Army.

Holy. Cow.

Our varied backgrounds in Indie ..... Terry Bickers is a member of 80's cult indie band House of Love

How can I sleep when my barn's on fire?

mh

Top share (despite the Paid in Kind issue mentioned above) and some nice HoL and Bunnymen tributes in there too (I spotted Salome and Happy Death Men)!

mh

Screamadelica would be the one early 90s classic that really stands out as needing a deluxe edition. I'd see The Cult's "Love" as being the high-water mark of deluxe editions; one which everything should aim towards. 4 CDs (in replica vinyl sleeves) comprising original LP; singles; demos/s...

dosen't appear to be based on anything else i have heard Runcie made a tape rip, And he put it on YouSendIt, Got downloaded by the faithful, They're busy listening to the tunes now, A Super Cosmic Space Jam, And I put it in "My Music", I said I put it in "My Music", Just like So...

mh

Not much in the difference. I'm working from memory and haven't compared the two side-by-side, but I would say that there may be a bit more clarity and sparkle in the remaster, but if so it's not much. It's certainly not compressed to within an inch of it's life. If you want to support SpaceAge, or ...

mh

There is a studio version of Angels and Devils by the way; it should be on the reissue of Ocean Rain.

Post-reform I think Evergreen has some decent tunes on, but overall I would say that they lost it after Ocean Rain.

mh

On the other hand Crocodiles might be my favourite one. I guess that's a hallmark of a really great band though - everyone has their own favourites but can still agree that overall the band is fantastic. :D Likewise saw them twice with the reunion lineup, and with almost identical results. And that ...

Would have loved a version of Smile that was more similar to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L26CtzBK ... re=related

Also in Bush Hall in London on 24/25 May.

Superb!

mh

I bought mine when it came out back in 95, but never knew it was so rare. Wouldn't dream of selling it though.

mh

Fire badly need to get off their asses and remaster PP properly. I've never bought a good Fire reissue of it.

mh

Funny thing about this is that it also sounds a lot like Suicide by the Spacemen - check out those drums at the start, and the main organ riff.

mh

Likewise. The missing lyrics are an important part of the song, and the Elvis version just doesn't "feel" right.

mh

I don't know about the 3CD version, but I have a copy of the 1 CD version, bought in HMV, clutched in my sweaty little paws right now.

mh

A&E did arrive quite a bit later than was originally scheduled so it's definitely possible. Let's not forget that Ladies & Germs was only 2 years after Pure Phase, and likewise with AG after LICD.

mh

Highly highly doubtful. Jason's position has always been that he doesn't like recycling the past, and he's even said as much again in a recent interview. I'm sure Pete would be up for it but I just couldn't imagine Jason going on stage and playing Rollercoaster, Starship and Revolution again.

mh

#239 according to my receipt and I was in within about 5 minutes. I think the receipt number may not be fully indicative of the actual number out of 1000 you have.

I guess we'll have to wait until mid-December to really find out.

after 20 years of marriage paddys wife had never acheived an orgasm so she goes to the doctor for some help, well says the doctor you could try keeping cool during sex and see if that helps. so armed with this advice she returns home and tells paddy what the doctor said, theres no way im wasting mo...

Manufacturing costs are also higher for smaller numbers of items. There are various templates/etc that need to be made, and these are generally fixed cost irrespective of the final number that are made, or at best are a high upfront cost irrespective with a small per item cost (that's a basic law of...

mh

It's a lot of money, but look at the facts. There's only 1000 of them, they must have cost quite a bit to manufacture, and Sony aren't touching it with a 10-foot pole, meaning that there's likely sufficient cause to doubt it'll recover even the manufacturing costs. I think it's great of the band to ...

mh

Lotsa stuff. The way The Eternal goes into Decades on (Joy Division's) Closer is sheer beauty (honourable mention for the chimes on Atmosphere). The Sisters Of Mercy's Some Kind Of Stranger is an amazing musical achievement (and experience). Certain Killing Joke stuff roundabout Brighter Than 1000 S...

mh

I believe WWJ was mostly a Jason comp so it's certainly understandable Pete never mentioning it. Uncanny similarity though, nice find!

mh

Anyway, I don't know if anyone can back me up on this yet, but the sound on these new digipaks is definitely a major improvement. The things that stood out for me on PP were that the percussion on TMTTOS seems to be a bit higher in the mix, the scratchy guitar intro on Things'll never be the same i...

mh

I would suggest that amazon is always a little over priced and usually you can pick something up from one off its affiliated sellers a good bit cheaper ,personally Â£30 odd quid might seem a bit steep ,only an idiot could really argue otherwise ,but thats where the collector element comes in,and th...

mh

But wait, wouldn't charging less for vinyl and CDs discourage piracy? That's the part that the record industry will never understand. They're still very much wedded to the concept of "you pay a premium price for a premium product" and have been getting away with it for too long (since the...

mh

Still a goodie after all these years.

mh

Definitely buying the 3CD anyway. I was gonna take a punt on the 12 CD version, but overall it's more about the music on those discs rather than possession of the artefact, and the main advantage of the 12 CD for me would have been to have the tracks separated. Not too concerned about the price of t...

mh

I generally don't mind remastering when the sound quality of the original had been compromised in some way (bad tapes, vinyl master used, etc), but I'm completely failing to see the point of re-remastering stuff that had been originally a digital source and a zero-gen master. Surely all we're talkin...

mh

Fantastic as this is (and it genuinely is fantastic), Pete's constant dredging up of the past is a bit wearisome.

mh

Could be totally innocent and harmless. Maybe she's born with it...

mh

The really sad part is that they did pretty well with their SOC release; that was good. Let's just not talk about what they did to PP though... brrrrrrr.

mh

Oooooh, guess I'll be buying that then!

mh

Not to forget Sam Hire in Dublin. Unfortunately they changed the font a few years back; can't find the old version but the new one is identical aside from the font so you're gonna need to use your imagination here:

mh

So not remastered then? That's a bummer, TPP in particular is sorely in need of it (hell, even the tracks on Translucent Flashbacks sound better).

mh

Seems to be some wires crossed here, I wasn't referring to "bad" as a description of Loop's music, but rather "bad" in relation to the extent to which they ripped off the Spacemen (which I wouldn't deny they did). Maybe "but the extent of the rip-off was certainly nowhere ne...

mh

Never really had any problems with Loop - quite loved their stuff, in fact. :D Listening back to them, the only real overt Spacemen rip-off seems to be the Spinning single, with I'll Take You There and Brittle Head Girl being the two standouts. Maybe one or two other tracks, but it's certainly nowhe...

mh

Funny thing with Pete's comments is that one never really does know where he's getting at. This could be in reference to an older take of WWJ (I'd definitely agree where - for example - the RAH performance is concerned, but that's just my personal opinion), it could be recycled from an older intervi...

mh

For me, Perfect Prescription is the yardstick by which I'd judge any of Sonic's (or Jason's) work. Of course it badly needs proper remastering (and that horrid noise reduction removed) but nonetheless, if anyone was to ask me what either of the 2 sounded like, this is the one I'd play them. Solo-wis...

mh

No love for Vol 4? Awww booo, that one's sheer class too!

Pretty much the same for Cork. If you look at my top photo, the one second from right (red and white) was the offending box.

What a strange gig. Most definitely not the best I've ever seen them, although in fairness a lot of it was due to factors outside of the bands control. An utterly utterly tiny venue, imagine Spiritualized in your front room and you've kinda got the idea. I don't know why a larger one wasn't picked (...

mh

I'll be there too, and also in Cork. Looking forward to both.

mh

Cheers, nice to have a recording with this setlist.

Worked perfectly fine for me, by the way.

mh

I'll add in an electric '86 style WWJ - about time they started playing it like that again, and it would go down a charm as a kick off to the end-set noise wig-out.

mh

â‚¬33.60 is still good value for a band like Spiritualized, considering the shocking prices of tickets here. I'm seriously considering doing both...

I remember back in the day, when MBV first started doing it, the holocaust was viewed as being almost deliberately nihilistic. I wish I could remember some of the interviews from that time, but the general feeling I got was that it was at least partially a reaction to the more sedate shoegazey crew ...
