Spiritualized

Pleasantly surprised this morning to see that they're playing Whelans in Dublin on Wed. 30 May

sunray

Does anyone know if the vinyl comes with a download code? I emailed Domino but haven't heard back yet.

sunray

Of those people who sent an email of complaint back to Rough Trade has anyone got a response? I've not heard anything from them yet.

sunray

no such worries w/this band. the keyboards & drummer particularly added to the glorious gloom. wish i was heading to the dublin gig tonight just to experience that voice again nevermind the rest. The keyboardist and drummer both played with the support band, Creature With The Atom Brain. You'd ...

sunray

Yep, it's looking like Shelina alright.

Even though Greg's expressions are first class, check out John sometimes for a real forlorn, slightly haunted look.

sunray

I also enjoyed Giles Smith's "Lost in Music". It lacks the dark nihilism and visceral sucker punch of 'Kill Your Friends', but it is still a decent read. That book encapsulated the time I got into music and I loved it. The accounts of him in record shops hearing the ker-thunk of the needl...

Same email - - I'm going to gamble on picking this up at the Detroit show Curious as to when Spiritualized actually sold any music at their gigs apart from that 7" way back when. I first saw them in1991 and i don't recall any records/cd's ever been sold at their concerts. I certainly think it'...

I can't comment on the Sylvester Anfang album as i haven't heard it yet so that review may well be spot on. What i was getting at were the reviews in general. I read all these things about a record that make it sound fantastic and right up my street but upon hearing the actual piece of music i usual...

sunray

Got the same email too. Haven't re-ordered yet, so i guess i should email Will as well. Can't say i'm surprised. I'd been holding off buying from RT hoping it would turn up at Piccadilly or Norman but those two only had the cd on pre-order so eventually took the plunge with RT. I've never liked deal...

Mods: Feel free to move this post to the gigs section if you wish. Just figured more people would read it here. Saw him in Dublin last night. Even though i was a fan of the Screaming Trees i'd never bothered to check out the solo material, it seemed there was always a more pressing release that grab...

sunray

I've given up on paying any attention to the blurb from Norman, Aquarius, Piccadilly, Rocket, Thrill Jockey etc. as, just like Julian Cope's album reviews, they're full of hyperbolic nonsense convincing you that this is one of the greatest records you'll ever hear, it's damn essential and it's fucki...

sunray

A techie question: How do you reduce picture size to post here? I recently got a couple of posters framed as a birthday present and would like to put pictures of them up here but everytime i try it says the file is too big.

sunray

Long and short of it is that this is a decent record which is worth buying, irrespective of coloured/clear vinyl..... Hmmm...I'm not so sure about that. I reckon that if you don't have a collection that you want to keep in order this record isn't worth the price. It was good but if i was a casual l...

sunray

Anyone heard this lot? Released their debut album about a month ago and it's pretty good. If you're into The Beta Band, Aliens or maybe Caribou i think you'll get something from this. Nice sunny psychedelic pop. I read somewhere that the drummer/producer is the younger brother of the Beta Band/Alien...

Plus, I'm still curious if there is any meaning behind the front cover. Jesus fucking Christ!!!! What does it matter? It's an album cover, it doesn't have to mean anything. :roll: At times i think a lot of people around here really need to get laid and perhaps get out a bit more. As for the album a...

sunray

Curiously all the food John and Greg were raving about in the north looked really messy and unappetising! Fish and cockroach sauce! :shock: Did anyone else think that chef they had with them in the market had a touch of the Gary Oldmans about him? Had the air of someone who very much enjoyed everyt...

Phase me out Gently was considerably shorter on the album compared to cd version. First time i heard the cd i was on acid and i wasn't sure if i was imagining the music still playing or not as i was so used to the vinyl by then. Bought the original vinyls when they were released. The regular one ski...

Great news: http://deadcandance.com/

Saw them in 1996 the day after seeing Leftfield, The Chemical Brothers and Fluke. The perfect comedown.

It's up for pre-order on Piccadilly Records site along with this, the solo album: http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/produc ... 81905.html

1000 copies of each.

What, do you really think those two songs sound the same? Cause they don't... :roll: If you're worried about Jason "stealing" riffs from other songs, then Spiritualized/Spacemen 3 are clearly not the band for you. Fuck off. Must be awful crowded up there in Jasons arse. :roll: I have no p...

sunray

whats this about people from the crowd to play guitar.. you just mean random audience members? In Dublin it was some local musician who had loaned them a guitar that they got up to play. I had forgotten about The Waterboys cover. Don't think we got a Floyd one though. If we did i didn't recognise it.

sunray

Well, they weren't bad at all. I wasn't blown away but i would go and see them again. I'm guessing Slave Ambient is the noisier, spacier album? Cos any songs they introduced off Wagonwheel Blues i didn't find as good. Seemingly they get someone up to play guitar with them everytime they play whateve...

sunray

Aw fuck! The first Spiritualized song in over a decade to really excite me and it's not even his own.

I know he's always nicked material but still.... just feel a bit deflated now.

sunray

Jury is still out on the album cover, but it does look better when "big" compared to the thumbnails from before It certainly does. Op art sleeve for Hey Jane single is cool although very similar to the Spectrum/Cheval Sombre split 7". Pierce copies Kember again! :wink: :lol: The song...

sunray

Going to see them this evening in Dublin. I've not heard one single note of this lot but thought i'd give them a go judging by the good reports they've received on this forum and the press in general. Although i am a bit concerned by comparisons to Dylan and Springsteen.

sunray

Ah Laz, i love Buttery Biscuit Base. The guy that did it has some bizarre offerings on his youtube channel. It's been Andrew for me from the beginning so that's who i'm sticking with. No doubt he'll go out in the next round now. Correct result this week, Aki peaked a few weeks ago and was just hangi...

sunray

It did say they were only available from Thrill Jockey or White Hills merch table so the band are obviously going to be selling them on the upcoming tour. Hopefully i'll nab one at their Dublin gig.

sunray

Calm down there chaps! I've seen Perry on at least 4 occassions since the mid-late 90s and he's very hit and miss. He played Dublin on his 73rd Birthday with The Congos and Max Romeo in support and Adrian Sherwood at the controls, that was very enjoyable. Especially when Sherwood cut loose on the de...

Got given a ticket for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah so saw them a couple of weeks ago, average really.

Now that i've got your attention :wink: I think this is rare, never seen it anywhere else.

Like others I was trying to avoid paying for overseas delivery to keep costs down! But Rough Trade is charging Â£16 so it would probably work out the same anyway. For me it worked out at a bit over â‚¬19 including p&p from the states to Ireland but would cost around â‚¬22 from Rough Trade :? Wh...

Playing Bristol on July 10th. Hmm.....possible Heads support?

sunray

Just saw that they have a new one due the end of January, limited to 100 only, called Enten-Eller: http://pub16.bravenet.com/guestbook/1343146447/

This was announced on Tuesday and i only spotted it now so no idea if any are left.

sunray

The first album is essential - don't miss it. Far more raw and punky in tracks like Annalisa and Low Life but also deep and bassy. The first track - Theme - is unbelievably psychedelic. Keith Leven's guitar is truly incredible in that. I didn't get it at the time but when I revisited it a few years...

sunray

The first three albums would be my choice: Roxy Music, For Your Pleasure and Stranded. It all gets a bit too slick for my tastes after that.

Wasn't expecting anything this year so i'm extremely happy with my pressies:

Reissues of Psychocandy, Darklands and Automatic.

Hope you all had/have a good festive period.

having just heard about it . . . Primal Scream at the Barrowlands on the 30th December!! Please post a review of this. Looking forward to their next album. Think it's a Screamadelica one. They're in Dublin on the 29th (which i'll be at, hoping for a massive improvement on the Belfast gig in August)...

Not the smartest bunch this lot are they? Just tried to order EP3 and i've been told that they won't ship to Ireland!!!!

Even more dumb when you consider i got the first two EP's (which would only play on a laptop not a stereo) off them ages ago.

6 minutes for me also. Thanks for sharing though Simon.

the band were never really a 'lyrical' act anyway. :shock: Always thought the lyrics were of huge importance myself, but yeah, the Jesus/Lord/Fire stuff has gotten embarrassing.

Rated X is a beautiful song, and long may it remain in the setlist amen Uh uh. Turgid drag of a tune.
