Spiritualized

Many thanks sml42 - great job..

sm-iom

Recurring, followed shortly by live shows by Sonic Boom solo and Spiritualized

sm-iom

Right, enough arguing chaps...any recordings?

sm-iom

Front row.

Speechless...

sm-iom

Popped up at 11 this morning in hope could pick up tickets..grr...Seetickets don't deliver them until around 6pm - ridiculous.

Jayline bus and Kev Bales in evidence.

Excited!

sm-iom

Have requested box office collection as don't trust them...

sm-iom

Yay....

Twitter update, started rehearsals today...

sm-iom

I could hark back to the 'old days' - support from Levitation, or Mercury Rev!

But, agree that this kind of show, them on their own does the job...

sm-iom

Sorry, only just seen this thread.

Mine just says 5/100 - no additional squiggles etc. Bought at the first night of RFH concert.

sm-iom

sm-iom

Agree with comments, well shot but music lame. Sounds like a poor copy of Rocks by Primal Scream, in itself a poor Rolling Stones pastiche.

The Bells!!

sm-iom

My vinyl copy of the first album has just come out of the attic, and is on the deck! Great sound - not sure it needed remastering? Surprised how good nick my copy is in as well (not touting for sale though).

Have got in vinyl form - signed by Sonic (Chain with No Name did lots like this) - record code Blaze 41TR (Fire Records). Came out just before Recurring, and thought it was the "normal" 12" (Wiki now tells me otherwise) - officially a double A-sider. Notes on back say "remixed at...

Really good program, followed up by 'Indie' 1991 hits - aahhh, student days....

sm-iom

May be worth reopening the Ticket Zone thread, if people aren't sure what they've bought or wish to change their minds?

That said, I've got mine, and am happy with Standing - Mrs sm-iom not so sure, although I have explained that the atmosphere there should be better than seated at RFH.

sm-iom

sm-iom

Again, have not received anything via the mailing list, and am on under two email addresses - has anyone else had anything, if so HELP!!

sm-iom

sm-iom

Agree that could be a better location. But, would be a bit concerned to see the thread move to a forum with limited posts or users. I'm a much bigger SPZ fan than HOL, so unlikely to stop by often to check thread. Simple solution could be to post link there to this?

sm-iom

Mentioned on another thread that we'd just got a record player, first for 10+ years. Currently giving LGM a spin - looks in good condition, no visible scratches, great sound, but still a bit crackly - and this is how I remember it from when it came out. So, a re-press may not actually go amiss. Doub...

sm-iom

Agree - we can discuss other bands, and we do still occasionally bring SPZ up (and in a relevant context). I started the thread - and am really pleased that I did, as have gained so much by it, and I think others have as well. However, remain to be convinced that there is a real market for another f...

sm-iom

Many thanks to all the recent efforts to get our knowledge base, and sounds, up-todate. As people have mentioned, the only real way to become closer to the truth than we already are is to get hold of an ex-band member....and convince them that proper releases will have a market (180gm vinyl anyone?)...

sm-iom

Have finally got a record player (first for 10+ years) - first record on, having retrieved some records from attic, is Neil Young - Harvest

Next one may be signed copy of Recurring..

sm-iom

sm-iom

Excellent - never knew these existed - many thanks

... I remember them playing at Glastonbury in 1990 when the appalling Del Amitri refused to go on before James as they thought they should have had a higher billing. James came on and absolutely fucking stormed it, everybody left when Del Amitri came on. Ditto! Was one of those that voted with my f...

sm-iom

Aaahhh, Glastonbury 1990.... I remember walking down the hill in the main field, just as Galaxie 500 struck up their first chords - tremendous feeling. Very sparse crowd, and if I remember correctly (not sure if I do, as the weekend was a bit 'fuzzy') followed by Pale Saints and Lush - equally a ver...

sm-iom

These are simply stunning. Quite different to how the tracks became, perhaps because Terry's voice seems clearer in the mix. They're better in my view than the official fanclub release. Look forward to any more you can lay hands on.

sm-iom

hi all, Sorry to hijack the thread but I can't seem to PM users yet. I've just been googling Laurence O Keefe. I'm a massive Darkstar fan and wanted to see what he was up to. Anyway my google adventure brought me here. TO my surprise there's someone from the Isle of Man (where I live ) and the firs...

Hokusai, you are a star!!

Don't worry about adding to the complexity of song names, running orders etc - any light shed is better than none.

Even better still is your offer of uploads - anything BBC, or bootleg related gratefully received..

Many thanks

Ditto for the demo tape.

Live and demo would be great, whenever you get the chance!

Hah... In the good old Isle of Man, if a performer is going to be really popular (ie sell out quickly, as we only have fairly small venues) the internet sales site they use crashes - so, they do walk-up only, plus a couple of manned phone lines - so, the queue starts early... They learned this lesso...

sm-iom

Whilst queuing for Ross Noble tickets this morning, found myself flicking through the iPod, and re-acquainting myself with Levitation. They supported SPZ at my greatest gig ever (Coventry Tic Toc (92-93?)), and could have blown SPZ off the stage - apart from Jason stepped up further still. Similar h...

The download works, it's the playback which doesn't, due to the MP3 format (WMA)

sm-iom

And, as said before, does not work on Macs....hence having paid for Amazon download

Did the download a few days ago, but have still broken the shrinkwrap anyway - had to explore inside!!
