Spiritualized

sunray

Gave it a spin today, possibly the best thing Gnod have done, they seem to be getting more consistent. Either that or their quality control has been considerably tightened up in regard to what they release.

This is going to turn into Flaming Lips territory soon. Such a similar thing happened to them. They brought out an album to gigantic critical acclaim and mass sales having had an incredibly consistent period of releases for 6-7 years prior but with a very different style of msuic. They took on load...

Wrote For Luck is the best thing they ever did. I'll second that. Bummed would be my fave album of theirs but i also like "Squirrel..." and "Pills...". Haven't listened to "Yes Please" in years, must give it a spin. Uncle Dysfunktional was much better than i was expect...

sunray

Bear in mind that most bands only play 3 or 4 songs, so you'd have to ask yourself is it worth the trip? Don't think anyone has ever played a full set at it over the course of the previous nine series.

Cab Calloway "Reefer Man" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D44pyeEvhcQ

Coincidentally with all this drug talk going on, tomorrow is the 73rd anniversary of Albert Hoffmann's discovery of acid.

They supported at Screamadelica in Belfast in August. Also saw them supporting The Aliens and David Holmes in Donegal three years ago. Didn't make much of an impression on either occasion.

No idea Holmes was involved with their album though.

unfortunately I didn't make it to the Birmingham date as I struggled to drum up any interest from my mates I've never understood the attitude of people who won't go to a gig on their own. What's the problem? :? If i took that outlook i'd attend fuck all gigs. Going to AMT in a few hours. On my own....

Taken from a gig at the Melkweg in Amsterdam that ended up as the Performance album.

However, I believe I read that they're likely to do a larger second pressing of Vertigo Swills in the future, so perhaps this first run will have fancier/special artwork and is aimed at the hardcore fans. Second pressing at the end of November with the sleeve reversed (front on back and vice versa).

sunray

Think you'll be alright Paul. I was invoiced for #49.

There are 14 of the 88 left folks, get on it!

Confirmed for T in the Park: http://www.tinthepark.com/ As well as Benicassim : http://fiberfib.com/?gclid=CMP03cqcp6wCFUtC4QodVg2A7A

First 50 copies (of 88) of Vertigo Swill became available last night, only found out now so not sure how many are left, if any. Extremely jealous of anyone who got one of the textured sleeve copies, of which there were only 20.

Downloaded the Horror ep a couple of weeks ago, good stuff. There's one 10min tune that fairly lets rip.

sunray

also, seeing crystal stilts here in december. they came through in may, but they were so fantastic i ended up catching them twice during their visit (they did an instore the next day), so why not catch them again before the year is up. 'in love with oblivion' is highly recommended. Saw them in Dubl...

For Stereolab, I would recommend Switched On and Transient Random Noise Bursts, which contain my favourites of Jenny Ondioline, Golden Ball and Super-Electric Absolutely, and add 'Refried Ectoplasm' which is Switched on 2, and also Peng. Everyone gets excited about Emperor Tomato Ketchup but I stil...

sunray

Angelsighs: I've been getting into Stars of the Lid recently. Great stuff. Let us know what you think of that album. I found Refinement of the Decline a bit of a bore myself, my fave album of theirs would be Gravitational Pull... I found their earlier material to be warmer, less clinical sounding.

sunray

Ordered this morning when i checked my emails. Love Trensmat, the only label i collect.

sunray

Managed to pick it up when it came out but still not heard it due to turntable issues

sunray

Creation Records night on BBC4 this Friday showing the Upside Down documentary, an Omnibus on Alan Mcgee, Creation at the BBC featuring loads of the bands performing and then a doc on Rough Trade records.

sunray

I see they've got Gnod supporting them in London. Will be catching them in Dublin for the fifth time i think. Although i'd prefer it if it was AMT & The Cosmic Inferno rather than The Melting Paraiso UFO. Still, should be good anyways.

sunray

How about Kim to replace Mani in the Primals? 8) Love Sonic Youth, first saw them in August '91 with Nirvana as support just before all the hullaballoo kicked off. SY were fantastic, Nirvana were ok; i got a bit bored of Kurt and co. after four songs. Also saw them supporting the Chemical Brothers :...

Was under the impression it was Mean Fiddler '87. Sounds a bit too raggedy to me to be any later. Can i truly answer your question though? Er...no.

sunray

Guess there's no new Primal Scream album happening any time soon then.

sunray

I'm probably alone on this one but i've never been totally satisfied with Spiritualized's version of TMTTOS over the years. It's good but not amazing. A bit too "rock" rather than the psych-noise tranceout it aspires to be.

Not at all. Always hated that song, amongst many others post L&G i might add.

sunray

I think Amazing Grace era live was about as noisy as they got, and for me that wasn't a very inspiring period. it really is funny how things go - for me that tour/live era was the moment i was hooked on the band! i'd a couple of their albums & enjoyed them & AG but i'd never seen them live....

sunray

Fame at last thanks to pic 9

Looking at those photos seems to be a lot more people at the gig than i thought.

sunray

Well, that was a turn up for the books. Not that they played all the new album but the fact i actually found myself enjoying it! For me personally i reckon i liked 55% of the new material, the other 45%, not at all. They may read like poor numbers but for me they're the best percentages Spiritualize...

Definite highlight from Tuesday.

I don't however buy this idea that this could be any less intense than back whenever... Sorry Barry, but you're wrong. Don't want to sound like a boring old fart but you weren't there so you can't possibly know. That's not meant to be a dig btw. For me the ballads are a complete borefest and i woul...

Came in at Playing With Fire and just carried on. For me Spiritualized's best years, live and on record, were 1991 - '93.

Just received an email from Seetickets saying that our tickets will be ready for collection at box offfice on the night.

thanks for the tip, yeah London prices can be rather scary. its the cost of a pint that blows my mind. hopefully i'll find a cheapo hotel somewhere fairly near, i'm not too fussy. as it's only one night i just need somewhere to lay my head We're staying here: http://www.londonguardshotel.co.uk/ Lik...

May as well stick the CAVE live video thread in here too then.

sunray

Given the renewed excitement about CAVE round these parts thought i'd give this excellent set a bump.

Loving Neverendless, their best release yet by some distance i think.

sunray

Jesus And Mary Chain -Munki ,forgot how great a little album this is ,with some critical self editing ,- I could easily chop off 5 tracks - it would have been a Chain classic. Agreed. If they'd dumped Stardust Remedy, Fizzy, Black, and Dream Lover it would've been fantastic. Personally i've never e...

Has anyone read 'Kill Your Friends' by John Niven? It's the most cynical look at working in the music industry imaginable and is set in 1997 with a blizzard of cocaine, booze etc. as a backdrop. The main guy hates every band he signs, every song he hears and everyone he encounters and is interested...

Should probably post this in gigs but didn't feel the need to start a new thread for one gig. Screamadelica in Belfast Friday night, hate to say it as i absolutely love this band but, that was the worse gig i've seen them do since the "Give Out.." tour in 1994. :( Apart from Higher Than Th...

Looting gone totally out of control: http://i.imgur.com/C5XQm.gif

I think you should try the Japanese bands Mainliner and High Rise, might well be what you're after if you want upfront, lo-fi noise. Or maybe LSD March who did an album with Bardo Pond called LSD Pond. Dunno if i'd class them as heavy though. Then again there's other bands mentioned that i wouldn't ...

sunray

Nice comp.

No idea if Einstellung are still together but doesn't one of them post here occasionally?

sunray

Part Chimp may suit your needs. Possibly Electric Wizard too, although the vocals might be too much for you i dunno.

Sounds like it was an amazing experience. Did anyone record it?

Great news, didn't know if they were coming back with new material or not. Looking forward to seeing them again at the Electric Picnic in September. :D Not mad about that track on first listen though. I also see that on the bonus cd there's a song called Moe Tucker, wonder if it's a cover of the Mar...

I have now stored them horizontally, one atop the other, to flatten out some of the edges of the sleeves. Hmm, not sure about that. I was always led to believe that storing records on top of one another would warp the vinyl. I am also missing that 1st Weddoes single off the Hit Parade. Unfortunatel...

Last M83 was really disappointing! Before the dawn... was amazing. I liked the last M83 when I first got it but have since gone right off it. it's a great concept (the whole 80s theme, finding the common ground between the mainstream and underground music of that time) but the end result seemed to ...

Finished up at Â£454.44!

More lunacy on the way here: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/fluffis-02/m.htm ... 4340.l2562

Cheers for that. Can't believe you think The Power Out is their weakest record

I think it's their best. Man i'd love to hear I Want To Be The President live again.

sunray

Gotta agree with the above post, you can strike lucky at any time. I recently picked up a 1969 re-issue of Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart in my local Oxfam for â‚¬2. I would describe the vinyl as Ex and the sleeve VG. :D I used to be a vinyl junkie but hardly ever buy records these days though as...

Amy Winehouse was found dead in her North London flat this afternoon. Only 27 years old.

Saw the latest Harry Potter at the weekend with my girlfriend and her 12 year old daughter. Pretty good. I've enjoyed all the films but wouldn't class myself as a fan whereas the other two are massive fans having read all the books repeatedly, they thought this one was the best film of the lot along...

Would love to see Part Chimp.

sunray

All BBC4 viewers should sit in this Friday as they're showing Lemmy: The Movie followed by Do Not Panic: the Story Of Hawkwind. And if you're so inclined all that is topped off with Heavy Metal Britannia.

Can't wait.

Would very much appreciate if someone could record and share the Hawkwind doc.

sunray

Thanks for the help chaps. I had a feeling it might be a complete pain, if it were possible at all. Torrents it is so.

sunray

Anyone know if it's possible to record from a Sky+ Box directly onto an external hard drive? In the manual it says you can record onto a video or recordable DVD player but we have neither, just a bog standard cheapo dvd player. I've got a nice collection of music docs building up and i'd really like...

Went to see The Guard a couple of days ago. Brendan Gleeson plays a cop in the west of Ireland and Don Cheadle is an FBI Agent sent over to foil a massive drugs shipment. Very funny, if you liked In Bruges you'll probably enjoy this.

Sounds even more like Moon Duo than usual.

Well, on my laptop it does.

Heard Graham Nash covering Buddy Holly's "Raining In My Heart" on the radio today and i was immediately struck with the idea that Sonic would do such a good version of it.

Probably me that mentioned the re-issues a while back.
