Spiritualized

Much appreciated Tufty, thanks

It's a fascinating demographic at Spiritualized gigs these days (quite (small-c) conservative and straight-edge). I guess it's a lot of us 50-something 90's indie-kids who've grown up. Never thought i'd see a bunch of fat, bald, middle-aged men described as fascinating! Very few young folks at Spir...

:lol: :lol: :lol: EWB boxset finally arrived. All in one piece too, no seam splits or popped pill packs. Quite a tight fit, leaving little room for movement in transit. I actually had trouble removing everything but i see this as a good thing. All in all, far more impressive in the flesh and i'm gla...

niamhm

Ah nice one cheers, perhaps he was obscured by an amp haha. Even though I was at the front, because of the way the band are laid out you don't really see everything. I thought the keyboard player was handling a lot of the extra layers. I`m listening again and going to backtrack from that claim, Its...

Album sounds great, if its to be their last its a fine way to go out, the limited orange vinyl delivered to the UK from Holland I think is coming in at an eye watering, wallet squeaking £42...

niamhm

Well he`s playing on Perfect Miracle on the Birmingham recording, you can hear him quite clearly, couldn`t say for sure but I think he played on 2 maybe 3 tracks in Glasgow

Second time at SWG3 in recent weeks and its fair to say its not my fav Glasgow venue, too far from city centre, wrong shape and no bar in the hall but these gripes aside it was a good night, come on its Spiritualized ffs how could it not be? A set built around the last two albums in the main and tha...

niamhm

Shows were played in Belfast and Glasgow after ANH too, but yeah very few UK shows all in. They were and ANH sounded fantastic, not really sure what the problem is with playing a large part of it, just to say Damaged is one of my fav Spiritualized tunes the last 20 yrs, be over the moon to hear it ...

niamhm

Record arrived with me on Friday (standard black vinyl) and, thankfully, my copy sounds great. A lot of people are saying this is the best Spiritualized album since L&G but I'm a big fan of Let It Come Down and don't think it quite reaches those heights. Early days though but it certainly is a ...

niamhm

Glasgow tickets bought, never been - or even heard off - Room 2 before this date, checked and it does exist, very close to Queen St Station so that`s handy

Earthless - Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons, not getting much love around here it seems but I`m going to see them next Tuesday and I guess most of its three songs will be getting ripped an shredded then stretched over 60 odd minutes, very much looking forward to it 8) Lotta love here for Earthle...

Ordered from a shop I don`t normally use, no sign of shipping email so far, get in touch and sorry we don`t have the deluxe version, `would you care to wait a few weeks till we try an get one one?` or would you like to change your order, have a credit note or have a refund? Ffs!! Yeah I ordered it l...

niamhm

The War On Drugs - Edinburgh O2 Academy If an undulating series of 70`s/80`s styled classic rock stylings with an undeniable krautrock beat at its heart sounds like your bag this was the place to be last Monday night, the build of the tension through 10/15 minute periods till mad joy uncontained rel...

niamhm

The last 2/3 weeks its been Earthless - Night Of One Hundred Demons fantastic stuff, 3 tracks, really two, stretching out and hammering blues, psyche and stoner riffs like nobody else really, looking forward to seeing them in a week or two. Loop - Sonancy after all this time still sounding like the ...

niamhm

Could be a fun thread.. choose your perfect setlist using only songs from A&E onwards.. Or twist it another way, choose your set using only 3 songs from the first 5 albums that doesn`t include Come Together, Shine A Light or Walking With Jesus, quite a buzz when they they came on as an encore a...

‘Always together with you’ in Mexico - that clip is astounding!

Me neither niamhm. I owe you a pint or something…

Not watched them yet but it looks like the uploader has added another 10 tracks

niamhm

Forgot all about live shows staring up, cheers for sharing the link, some great clips there. Really looking forward to May now

niamhm

Thumper - Delusions Of Grandeur: One of my favourite Irish acts deliver their debut album and i'm happy to report it's a good 'un. Catchy hooks and melodies aplenty amid plenty of guitar noise. Delighted that 25 made the cut as it lodged in my head for weeks the first time i heard it but there was ...

niamhm

First gig this year tomorrow night, Glasvegas at SWG3 with my daughter, looking forward to this, big tunes, bit heart and booming Spector/Chain-esque wall of sound, had the tickets for almost 2 yrs and I think this is the 3rd time its been rescheduled - last time was only 3 weeks ago at 3 days notic...

niamhm

He did so much work the last 10/12 yrs it was easy to take him for granted I think, I`ve been going back and checking some of it again, how good is Gargoyle? What a great album, fantastic stuff, so many songs that just stop you in your tracks, saw a few " best of Mark lanegan" type pieces ...

niamhm

I also thought that a new Loop album perhaps wasn't happening. It's funny, the press release talks about taking the band in a new direction but to me this just sounds like Loop business as usual! perhaps the rest of the album will be a bit more different. Hmm, you say business as usual but to my ea...

After my team, Celtic, scrape a 3-2 win at home on the back of a mid week humiliation at to the champions of Norway - apparently play on a plastic pitch inside the arctic circle - my nerves are on edge so i`m unwinding with some cider and Earthless and their new album, Night Parade Of One Hundred De...

Cheers mate, much appreciated

niamhm

Have a ticket but giving it a pass I`m afraid, train and accommodation prices are ludicrous and being honest with myself its only really Electric Moon I REALLY wanted to see, for the expense I just can`t justify it, being Easter that weekend and one or two other things its a no for me.

niamhm

Moon Duo - Mazes, still a brilliantly basic electro/garage album, more than 10 yrs old now, that`s mental. I think you could make a case for it being their best album tbh, not saying I think that but I could understand someone saying it, Also Earthless - Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons, this is c...

niamhm

Even with the super heavy sleeves one of them still arrived with a seam split :evil: I'm getting rather tired of split inners/outers when paying a lot of money for records. I realise there isn't too much can be done to prevent it, other than the usual remove the records from the cover, but it's sti...

niamhm

How is Damage and Joy standing up as an album a few years later? Still sounds great to me. At the time i wished William had sang on it more and my feelings haven't changed in that regard. The remastering thing is a total gimmick though. The only thing that would have improved it was bringing the gu...

niamhm

Brought me a lot of enjoyment this last 10yr this band and I`ll probably not get to see them again looking at their dates for this yr which is a shame, but I guess If you`ve done what you wanted to do and said what you wanted to say then maybe it is time to go home, was listening to Masana Temples a...

niamhm

It does say its remastered and I would have said it didn`t need to be remastered as its one of the best sounding albums and pressings I own IMO. I`m not claiming this be forensic in any sense at all but a quick comparison play through of both tonight and I`m struggling to hear any difference except ...

niamhm

Got word that mine shipped today. So did I and that`s great, looking forward to it arriving, a bit puzzled to wtf my Primal Scream - Live At Levitation from Fuzz Club is though ordered way before this release, the Fuzz - Levitation Sessions took an absolute age to arrive as well, current record hol...

niamhm

Watched this last night, man its so good, pretty staggering that something like this can just appear after all this time, and on Xmas day as well, like some kinda space rock miracle

Albums in no particular order but definitely ones I liked this yr, may have to edit as I`ll probably forget something, William Doyle - Great Spans Of Muddy Time, Mogwai - As The Love Continues, War On Drugs - I Don`t Live here Anymore, Richard Dawson And Circle - Henke, Mildred Maude - Sleep Over, T...

niamhm

I enjoyed it at the time, I enjoyed Beautiful Future at the time and saw the Scream doing two great gigs on the back of those albums, the Chaosmosis one was particularly memorable, as my 16yr old daughter accompanied me and it was one of the last times I was at the now sadly gone Glasgow ABC

niamhm

Tickets purchased for Glasgow, with Twilight Sad as support it was a no brainer for me, looking forward to this even if it is a yr away

niamhm

I still love that book. It’s a horrible and beautifully honest thing to publish - and I’ve always loved the reactions from my pals who read it anyway - those were extreme. I still hang around with a woman who suggested it was the best piece of writing she’d read 🤭 The point of this was - he nearly ...

Never actually heard it myself but I`ve heard recently that Spacemen 3`s Big City is in the most recent episode in S3 of Sky`s Succession drama, big fan of this show, both previous series were superb, when I get round to watching S3 probably over the festive period my ears will be trained to detect ...

Nope, its sitting in a pile of books I`m working my way slowly through, I should have an opinion on it this time next yr

Jesus And Mary Chain @ Stereo and Barrowland Glasgow A real treat to see the band at Stereo, comfortably the smallest venue I`ve seen them in as in `excuse me mate till we get on the stage` type of thing, so yes I was quietly buzzing for this one, not a big fan of the playing an album in full idea ...

niamhm

Well I must say this was a nice surprise, was beginning to think new music would never appear then all of a sudden its there without any fanfare, really liking it, the surging bass line in particular,

Still some copies available for pre order in some shops, Rough Trade maintaining their reputation as robbing/chiselling bastards by marking it up by £6 on the Fuzz Club price

First decent sized gigs since March 2020 really, 3x the JAMC this weekend, had tickets for the Sunday at Barrowlands then when a second date was put on for the Monday decided to go with my daughter a while back - these gigs were announced about 2 yrs ago - then finally got a couple of tickets for fo...

Glasgow SWG3 for me it is then, I must say its not one of my fave venues in the city but i`ve never been in the Galvanizers area and I`m sure it will be a great night, my problem is more with its location tbf , looking forward to this, is The Sage one sold out already? Had been thinking about maybe ...

niamhm

Had a couple of listens right through now and I think it sounds good, the tunes with more space in them in particular sound really good, previous issues I think have me almost questioning my own ears tbf though, busier tracks, Don`t Just Do Something, Out Of Sight totally have my ears doing double t...

Saw a few great gigs /live music since lockdown eased but all kinda psyche bands in tiny venues 30/40/50 people. 2nd and 3rd time delayed JAMC - Darklands coming up the weekend of Nov 13th, had tickets an was buzzing to see them Sun 14th, eventually said f#ck it going again on the Mon, and eventuall...

Mines arrived on Friday but as I`m in the middle of being "on call" for 7 days haven`t had the chance to give it a play yet, will wait till I know I`m getting peace to listen but James`s post is rather deflating, fingers crossed.

niamhm

Tentative steps back into the gigging world, French psyche stoners Karkara a few weeks back support from Glasgow`s Dead Otter, not much covid type worries, a cellar with maybe 40 people, I was just glad to hear live music but Karkara were defo on point and pretty impressive for a 3 piece even bring ...

Jon Hopkins - Singularity, man this so good, it kinda by past me at the time for some reason which is kinda weird as I`d been a massive fan of the previous one. This is awesome, from the bangers to the mellower stuff it just flows superbly and the production is immaculate, maybe too immaculate for s...

I almost ordered this until I saw the price and realised I could have JR Moore`s Electric Wizards A Tapestry Of Heavy Music for a couple of quid more, came yesterday and is now in the pile waiting to be read

While that`s good news its going to be sore on the pocket, shame they couldn`t have staggered the reissues through next yr like Spiritualized have done.

Yep bdrmm are good. Nothing incredible (i think they've possibly received a bit too much hype for what they are) but solid debut album from a band so young.

Kinda late to this lot, bdrmm on Sonic Cathedral, the album Bedroom is scarily old school `shoegaze` with a bit of Goth/ The Cure thrown in, seeing that written down I would normally have run a mile but a few folk I know are going to see them up here later this month so I checked them out and shit i...

I recently discovered old US cop show The Shield which is excellent. A good soundtrack too so possibly not totally unexpected but when Ween's 'It's Gonna Be A Long Night' appeared I had to smile.

Thanks for sharing, good read that, interesting insight to the process

Might be a better pressing though, says Memphis Record Pressing, would the UK/EU vinyl be pressed there? I maybe wrong but I wouldn`t have thought so, That's the same plant Fat Possum use and i'm sure there's been complaints from American buyers of these FP reissues. Maybe VMP have better quality c...

Hey, cheers for sharing that article Dave, really enjoyed it, like an interview where the journo adds some colour and detail like this, you don`t see so much of it these days. Sorry to hear about your mate as well

If you follow the thread down its just more disgruntled customers, have to say Fat Possum have kinda fucked this up which is so disappointing, my order for LICD is in, so once more into the lottery an fingers crossed this one is okay - btw saying its okay isn`t good, officially sanctioned releases a...

alas, my enthusiasm has been tempered - the last 2-3 minutes of both side A and B sound awful, really mushy and muffled and lo-fi. Plus the last 20 seconds of "Home of the Brave" are ruined by a nasty once-per-revolution scratching sound that isn't a skip :( Like this? https://twitter.com...
