Spiritualized

angelsighs

thats a shame. i didnt go to the nottingham gig in the end anyway. i did listen to some live tracks on their website which didnt sound great but thought it might be shitty computer sound etc.. ho hum.

angelsighs

i've gone a bit mental lately too, all of these in the last two months. seems the credit crunch means nothing to the people on the spz message board Rachel's- selenography The Replacements- Hootenanny The Sound- Dutch Radio Recordings vol 5 July Skies- The Weather Clock Acetone- If Only You Knew (ac...

angelsighs

i'm gonna go obvious

damaged- primal scream
kangaroo-big star
unsatisfied- the replacements
moonshiner- dylan/uncle tupelo
the crab- the verve
still- witness

must be loads more elliot smith ones too

angelsighs

yep ben this is just too hard- although i do share your enthusiasm for ladies and gentlemen (one of the few songs i want played at my wedding and my funeral..) and tombstone blues (mike bloomfields shit hot guitar, and the way dylan spits out the words..) like elektronic says though maybe it should ...

angelsighs

Yeah i've seen reviews like this before- it's almost like the reviewer likes the album but the editor won't let them give it a high mark or something. Definitely gonna go for it, might get another treader while i'm at it. Like everyone says the packaging is beautiful. This is why it makes me sad tha...

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/148946-j-spaceman-and-matthew-shipp-spaceshipp pitchfork review here, dunno why they are reviewing it now this long after release. Did get me thinking I should invest in it though. Thing is i'm a bit wary of the 'avantgarde' side of things, which l...

Loved the opening song Mary, great organ sound (Sonic is a man who certainly knows how to put together a drone or two), what album is this song off? That's off the Captain Memphis 'Indian Giver' CD. Fantastic CD that seems to get better with every play - essential listening. thanks- i'll have to ch...

angelsighs

I also went to the Brighton show, it was pretty damn good. Like a plonker i missed the Flowers of Hell (had no idea they were supporting) but I did pick up the Flowers/Will Carruthers EP. Notorious Hi Fi killers were really good though- some great guitar sounds. Loved the opening song Mary, great or...

angelsighs

haha you must have been wasted if you 'think' they were quite good (all rather hazy i guess?)

can't remember any more details? what was the light show like? setlist?

angelsighs

thanks for keeping us informed spazed. That there was no further singles after Soul on fire is disappointing but as said with the record industry like it is at the moment.. and kids just downloading stuff, singles are dying out. Its a shame cause I like the idea of singles/EPs, I would have been hap...

angelsighs

Let us know how good they are as I'm still deliberating whether to go to the Nottingham show this Saturday.

angelsighs

*School of Seven Bells - alpinisms Had a listen to these guys myspace and couldn't get into it myself. On the other hand, just got the new Secret Machines album (just out in the UK but released in the US last year so i guess counts for this thread), and it's a return to form of awesome proportions ...

herman wrote:It's weird that no one mentioned 'Brightblack Morning Light' - Motion to rejoin - here on the forum. Super cd with a laid back atmosphere. Kind of Spz - Sp3 on valium. Highly recommended!

thats on my 'to buy' list which is as long as my arm.. must win the lottery

angelsighs

please tell more was it live footage?

I've got a DVD of the excellent 'True Testimonial' doc I keep meaning to copy and upload when I work out how. Thats got some great footage of those days too.

angelsighs

Can't put it any better than you Geoff, what an amazing and open minded musician he was. Just had Inside Out on, followed by One World. I still find Small Hours one of the most sublime 8 minutes of music ever.

The Jig wrote:Why not stop in Kenilworth or Stratford upon Avon, both are decent towns.

or you could stay in nearby Rugby and do the 'Spacemen 3 Reality Tour'!!

angelsighs

Yup loving this new track- like you say its not melodically brilliant but more listens reveals that great doves atmosphere and awesome production. Excellent stuff. Must say though I would prefer it if Jimi was singing- always preferred his voice to Jez's. Some Cities was a bit patchy but im pretty s...

angelsighs

You make a convincing case Jack, funnily enough I have been playing the album a bit more lately- I haven't written it off entirely. But it's not clicking as yet.

You are right about There Was A Time- the solo on that one does hit the spot. (I did mention it in my previous post)

angelsighs

what did he ever see in her

angelsighs

theres a link in the UK dates 2009 thread clewsr

angelsighs

The Book Of Love- Magnetic Fields

Isn't It A Pity- George Harrison
I Shall Be Released- The Band/Dylan
both as Oh Happy Day style encores

how about a version of a Phil Spector tune, revved up Cheapster style?

angelsighs

thanks so much robotoilet wow the band are changing setlists quite a lot (for them!). Although its good to see Baby Im Just A Fool FINALLY get an airing and Cop Shoot Cop (ive never experienced this song live, hope they play it in leamington), i really really really hope Lay Back In The Sun doesnt g...

angelsighs

hmm. not much to do in leamington if im being honest. unless you like walking round parks and checking out the pump rooms. Birmingham is a good hours drive away though.

angelsighs

ah excellent stuff.
I'm quite partial to these clips myself, tracks from the sublime ocean songs on australian tv. Authentic Celestial Music ends before the really intense bit though..

angelsighs

any australian atp attendees- what were the dirty three like? id love to see them live.

angelsighs

This makes for pretty interesting reading. Kind of a look behind the curtain.
Didnt know beck was that big?

angelsighs

I kinda agree with jasons views on a lot of reunions being about money (doesn't mean some great music can result, though), but the comment on 'original lineups' is quite bizarre. J has had a lot of people pass under his wing but he's really an exception to the rule. Surely the chemistry between memb...

angelsighs

I second that notion- i've only got a shitty quality version of I Am What I Am, i'd love to hear the rest of that session. Apparantly its a co-write with Dr John. Would anyone recommend his album around the same time which features Spz members? I love both these rarities, I reckon they show how awes...

angelsighs

yeah I presume its an atp warm up, looking at the schedule. Weird place to have it here though- like you say Leamington is usually more receptive to 'talent' like Bobby Davro. Not that I'm complaining!! Just in case it happens to anyone else, the assembly website is a bit tempramental (had trouble a...

angelsighs

got my ticket! the durutti column are also playing Brighton a few days earlier so im gonna go down and make a little gigging holiday of it.

cant wait

angelsighs

holyshit spiritualized are playing my home town (leamington spa!!) thanks mr spazed!!

angelsighs

Yeah I hope J puts the momentum of the current form of the band to good use. Personally I'd love, as well as the Acoustic Mainlines DVD, a good quality (but RAW, no Albert Hall overdubs) live album of the current band. I hope it's not gonna be silence from the Spz camp from now on. At least there's ...

angelsighs

:( Since we're all weighing in.. I don't like it either. I've given it a good try as well. First- where are the HOOKS? Past GnR classics were tightly wound beasts where there was barely time to get bored. Even the epics like Civil War and Estranged had loads of cool twists and turns. On this album t...

angelsighs

looks prett sweet. I love Rolling Thunder era Bob.

angelsighs

well first of all where did you get the first 4 CDs? do tell.

Is it me or is Rob Stoner a fuckin great bass player?

angelsighs

You are all reminding me how out of the loop ive been this year- still not round to getting the new Mogwai/Silver Mt Zion/Earth/Dungen etc!! Must try harder. Ill also add a nod to M83- Saturdays= Youth. Some moments perhaps too 80s but at points a gorgeous mixture of synthpop and shoegazing, like th...

angelsighs

was hoping some kind soul could help me find that Lucky Man/Neon Wilderness guitar thing that McCabe had up on his myspace a while back here ya go: (and for anyone else interested) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JM46YLHK i ripped this myself using audacity and being a bit of a plonker the levels are ...

angelsighs

I haven't really bought much new stuff this year, still listening to most of the good shit from 2007 (a great year I reckon) Album of the year- A&E, and when i say that I mean it, i'm no sycophant :lol: Also- Fleet Foxes- s/t Black Mountain- In The Future The Black Angels- Directions To See A Gh...

I think these two songs are awesome and better than much of the album. Much more band orientated, you can actually hear the guitar!! People should also try and get hold of a song called 'Blue Pacific Ocean' which leaked a while back (from McCabe himself), it's amazing. I think some people are never ...

angelsighs

The Fleet Foxes album is excellent. I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone. It has a broad appeal. I'm really curious to see what they do for their next LP. Yeah that's a good point. It may be that they are one of those bands that hit a formula perfectly on the first album then have diminishing ret...

angelsighs

I really don't rate the Early Years album at all, apart from a couple of songs I don't hear the dronerock/krautrock flavours at all and it sounds just like bog standard indie-rock. I have heard they are good live though so might download those BBC sessions. What do people think of Fleet Foxes? I was...

not a fair comparison imo yep fair point, I guess the comparison between the two is more that they are both long awaited and considered rather self-indulgent rather than any straight musical comparison. As a side note though did you know that slash offered his services to the roses when Squire left...

angelsighs

The initial reviews actually aren't too bad. http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/gunsnroses/chinesedemocracy I'll be buying this out of morbid curiosity.

The first disc does seem to be much better than then rest at the mo) Grizzly Bear- Yellow House (finally got round to getting this after being mesmerised by their set at ATP- it'...

angelsighs

Seems that the girls do the pop thing better than boys. I'm also partial to a few Madonna songs- Ray Of Light, What It Feels Like For A Girl, and the awesome Like A Prayer. Pretty much all of Girls Alouds songs are also insanely catchy and enjoyable.

Also:

Back For Good- Take That. Mighty pop song.

angelsighs

'alienation and loss'- a good album title?

i'm so gonna keep an eye on this- all its gonna take is one or two more bands i like and i'm there. I can't recommend the ATP setting enough. I kicked ass at crazy golf!!

angelsighs

whoops- amended!

angelsighs

Deep breath, Iâ€™m not sure all this is rightâ€¦ The band for LICD is Doggen- guitar, Coxon- guitar, Martin Schellard- bass, thighpaulsandra- keys Tom Edwards- percussion, ray dickaty- sax kev bales-drums The first leg of the licd tour has all these as well as added horns/strings/singers, for the se...

what do you think of the post reform work and electrfixon?

not that familiar with the recent stuff but have heard a couple of tunes here and there which sounded pretty good.

angelsighs

previous headliners play close to a full set i think- certainly more than one hour.

this is excellent news- i loved the ATP i went to in 07 and kinda regret not going to one this year.

looks like a nicely rounded collection to me. I must admit when I make Spz compilations for friends I always chicken out and only put the 'proper songs' on which hardly shows the bands breadth. which live version of broken heart have you included? the only thing i'd add is maybe one of the many vers...

glad people are enjoying the kraftwerk boot, it's brilliant isn't it? I can't take credit for the find though as like i say someone else posted it on here yonks ago- cant remember who though.

this is the one!

its awesome.

Also totally recommend a Kraftwerk bootleg someone posted on here a while back- a live show of an early guitar driven lineup featuring members of Neu(?)- its intense stuff- repetitive but pulverising that should appeal to anyone who likes Spacemen 3 can you upload it please? i'll have a go when I g...

Iâ€™ve got Tago Mago, Ege Bamayasi and Monster Movie- all fantastic albums. Tago Mago has got to be the best I reckon (but I must admit Iâ€™m not always in the mood for the far out ambient tracks in the middle) but if you like that youâ€™ll deffo like the others. Dunno if its coz Iâ€™ve got them on ...

No i've not heard any studio versions of it, the only ones I know are the 2001/2002 live versions like you say. Hope Axl doesn't shoot himself in the foot by ruining it in the studio.

not that impressed by the single. it will be interesting to see how much this thing sells.

I suppose LICD could be considered quite Christmassy- funnily enough I got the album for Xmas 2001 and it started my love affair for the band.

I forgot to add Verve in 1997. That was an incredible performance. On at least 5 occasions when Nick McCabe's guitar went into overload I stood there thinking 'how the FUCK is he doing that?'
