Spiritualized

flokie

Aw bless her :) Don't be so harsh, that was actually quite a horrible gig so I'm glad someone really enjoyed it! The acoustic mainline set was never meant for outdoors festivals, I'm not saying Spiritualized were bad, but the sound wasn't great, the crowd was noisy, and it just fell a bit flat. And ...

I have been in Glasgow over 11 years now, and I don't think the D3 have played a single gig in Scotland in all this time. I have seen them live twice before, Reading Festival in '98 iirc, and at the ATP they curated in 2007. I may have to miss the end of the Brazilian GP to get to Oran Mor on time o...

flokie

thanks for that sunray. I'm still enjoying it. the melodies don't seem quite as good, but at the same it's not quite as 'jammy' as I'd like either.. . I still can't really get into it and you hit the nail on the head with the 'jammy' comment. It feels too thought out, whereas Innerspeaker had this ...

^ :( Spiritualized L+G gig at Royal Albert Hall (?) in 2009. Girl I was seeing ended it with me a few weeks before, and I was too cut up to go.

Yeah I think they only had a few tickets left to sell at the door so it may have sold out in the end. It was certainly very busy down the front! I thoroughly enjoyed it, the sound wasn't great at the start (I was a bit too close to the speaker mind you) but it got much better. Enjoyed hearing the ne...

thanks for the recordings guys!

I've only dl'ed PontiacB's bootleg so far, great job. "Come Down Easy" sounds even better than I remember from the Sage!

Ouch.. some of this was harsh! Think some of the newer material is so middle of the road it could have been delivered by anyone. To my ears the sonic stamp that used to be the makers mark of a great Spiritualized tune has been rubbed off down the line somewhere. . I think I remember Jason saying in ...

flokie

haha it's pretty much the other way round here. Moon Duo for sure on Monday, and considering Ty Segall tomorrow, but that one may have to be solo, in which case I'll be the woman at the front holding a pint

edit: actually it looks like the Ty Segall gig is sold out.

Having listened to a March bootleg again.. I'm no longer sure about So Long being more like last year's.

One thing I forgot to mention... the two chorists, (I forgot her name!) who's been in the live line up since at least the Acoustic Mainlines gigs wasn't there was she?

I don't like typing on my phone but still plenty of time to kill before I get on the train. I agree with a lot of the comments above in fact.

Travelling to the Gateshead gig too, I don't know the area at all, but this sounds OK to me:

flokie

I've come to this one a bit late, but managed to pick up one of the red LP reprints. Not overly fussed over the back story, but I don't see it as a big deal, it does in fact add to how fun this album is.
It took a little while to grow on me, but definitely one for my end of year lists.

flokie

Hmm OK I don't want to kick things off either... just a wee mention of a Manics bootleg I have from '94 (still only on cassette), supporting Therapy? in Marseille. They're definitely playing it for the Therapy? crowd. The result: fast, heavy and furious. Brilliant stuff.

flokie

*scratches head* :?: This thread reads a bit like the March tour never happened.. I loved the gig at the ABC, thought the setlist was great. Hey Jane and Heading for the Top were definite highlights, and there was a fantastic version of Cop Shoot Cop to finish with, which I enjoyed more than TMTTOS ...

This is the NME let's not forget. And like everything they say it's probably worth ignoring. Note the turgid crap from MSP getting a similarly baffling rating. Meh. I have no interest in what they're doing nowadays, but THB definitely has that place somewhere in that top 50, even if I wouldn't argu...

Yeah it was originally Captains Rest, was moved to the new Art School and has now moved to Captains Rest's new venture: Broadcast.
I'd spotted that, but in a shocking development this morning, I also received a phone call from Ticketmaster to inform me of the new venue!

It's certainly picking up good reviews, top of the ADM ratings just now: http://www.anydecentmusic.com/home.aspx I can't help thinking some publications are trying to make up for the fact they totally ignored Innerspeaker, but then I can be rather cynical :twisted: Even though I'm not too sure what ...

As much as I like them I wasn't totally crazy about Mazes. I'm enjoying this a lot

flokie

I think part of the reason I was so glad to see them again is that even Jason's solo tours never made it to Glasgow, I'd definitely go see him too, even though I wasn't crazy about his first solo album. I really ought to keep myself better informed: I only found out this morning that Emil Amos is no...

flokie

no worries- thanks for that. listened to that Trail of Dead song and it's okay but doesn't seem to be breaking any new ground for them. they often tread a fine line with the vocals and this does tip a bit into the angsty emo rock sound. would definitely still like to see them live though, Madonna a...

I'm considering travelling to that... I've never been to the Sage so have no clue but it seems like a venue where they can use different configurations?

They're superb live. Definitely looking forward to seeing them at Captains Rest again, one of my favourite gigs last year.

Sleepwalker has a similar riff to Nirvana's Love Buzz, but it's all good. Will go and listen to that 21 min High over Blue track now.

I got it this weekend from lovemusic (avalanche) in Glasgow, Â£4. Similar packaging to Hey Jane indeed, but this plays at 45rpm.

It can be summed up quite quickly : Some paragraphs about Art probably rehashed from whatever degree she took. Headache-inducing is an excellent description. J recycles stuff.

One reason I've been waiting to get the CD is that I'm mystified by the "dead" flatness of the Hey Jane stream I heard. I've been hoping that the production would make more sense in context. I guess I should know in a week or so. I was listening to a CD promo of it last night and it defin...

Not sure I agree there - J has spoken at length about how difficult it is to "fix" these songs on record and he prefers to play live! At times he even sounds like he'd rather not have to put them on record at all. There were some very noticeable differences between the October and March gi...

It's a rather odd first listening experience - knowing all the songs already from gigs and bootlegs. I'm initially a bit thrown back by the vocals mix on some songs - but don't want to be too judgmental yet as those streams aren't high quality.
