Here is the audio of Spread Your Wings live- on my youtube channel, but its not my audio I hasten to add! I just uploaded so people could hear it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjmcYKfqnC4 Wow. I'm more than happy to be proved wrong here! Thanks to you and heisenberg on this one. I'd never heard t...

angelsighs

Haha that's great! I actually agree with a lot of what that says. It kinda makes sense!

another one of my current fave guitarists Daniel Bachman is doing an online performance on Jun 16th

might just be my device but I can't see an image there Olan?

I need to find the time to listen to the new live album.. too many good things coming out!

angelsighs

Here is the audio of Spread Your Wings live- on my youtube channel, but its not my audio I hasten to add! I just uploaded so people could hear it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjmcYKfqnC4 also just read re: Pure Phase release date: Pure Phase release date remains June 11 for Europe and everyone wh...

angelsighs

Thanks for that Ro will definitely be trying to catch the Six Organs one

angelsighs

Earthless - Live In The Mojave Desert Vol. 1 You know what your getting, 3 tracks 80 min, blasting for all they`re worth, channelling Hendrix, last live album they did had 6 tracks over 2 sides, I think this suits them better, space to stretch out and really let things breath Thanks for flagging th...

angelsighs

There also appears to be some glow in the dark Pure Phase left here.

angelsighs

Yeah that's pretty good! Needs a bit more development. But I do think their sound works well when they work with drum beats like that

angelsighs

Yeah keeping it one genre makes any festival bit of a slog. Have to mix it up a little

Yeah quite the name!
Another band just kept it simple and went for Stoner

angelsighs

Saw this lineup and thought it was a classic example of festival lineup syndrome, where the bands you want to see are all spread out over the various days. https://www.desertfest.co.uk/news/desertfest-announces-entire-line-up-for-10-year-anniversary-in-2022/ Put Slift, Gnod, Earthless, and Electric ...

angelsighs

Interesting, I had to do quite a bit of googling to find out more about this. Thought more people would be talking about it. Kind of annoying for me, the EPs collection is the only one that hasn't had a vinyl release. If there was a vinyl version I'd be happy to upgrade and also get the two extra tr...

angelsighs

For me it's 100% Live in Europe, nice wide ranging setlist and superior sound quality compared to the more famous Performance.

angelsighs

Finished listening to this, interesting to hear Kevin talk at length. I guess The Beatles thing was that they used a sample of the screaming crowd? That was interesting.. Sample that and tweak it a bit and it can sound like feedback! It does sound like they're working on a whole bunch of new materia...

angelsighs

Fat Possum LP version of LGM definitely uses the correct original four-side configuration. Ah okay thanks! People may be want to check out the new issue of Record Collector magazine, there's reviews of both LGM and Pure Phase and a little interview with Jason. They ask him a question along the line...

angelsighs

Wow that's some proper raw garage rock. Makes you wonder why they weren't popular in the early 00s days of the White Stripes etc.
Even his vocals remind me of a band I can't quite place.
And of course it goes without saying that Doggen's guitar playing rips

angelsighs

What a nice surprise that was. Obviously the real meat will be when Mark talks about his time in the band (nice cliffhanger!) but still interesting to hear about the local scene and all the different bands he was in.
Imagine being a huge fan of a band.. And then later actually joining them!!

angelsighs

90 minute interview with Kevin: https://www.abc.net.au/doublej/programs/curated/kevin-shields-mbv-interview/13293944 It's a pretty good listen. I don't follow MBV interviews religiously so maybe a lot of this stuff has already appeared elsewhere. The Beatles thing, for one, was news to me 8) Listen...

angelsighs

I guess there was no perfect way of doing it, but for me not having Born Never Asked leading directly into Electric Mainline will seem really weird. I know there's a few segues on the album which are effective but that one particularly seems essential. Shown by the way they often did it live. I'll h...

angelsighs

I'd also agree on The Lost Tapes.. keep that as a treat once you've tried the proper albums. an absolute treasure trove of unreleased material, the majority of which is just as good as the released stuff. apparently the next 2 in the new Live series will actually be from the same tour! Brighton Suss...

angelsighs

If I was going to recommend just one for a newcomer it would be Ege Bamyasi. It's relatively concise and clean sounding with some great grooves. You really can't go wrong with anything up until Future Days though. And that includes Delay 1968. Their early stuff is more raw and scratchy sounding so t...

angelsighs

had a listen to episode 2 over the weekend, very much enjoyed it and will be continuing to listen. the fact that 2 people came to that Coventry gig really brings home how out of step the band were- looking back it's amazing how they stuck to their guns really with such a minimalist musical style. be...

angelsighs

I suspect the glow in the dark is a massive selling point (to fans and collectors alike) hence the scarcity. Should be noted that glow in the dark vinyl is regarded as not being conducive to quality playback so you're probably better off with the black vinyl! At the time of release Pure Phase was s...

angelsighs

glad you enjoyed it Gary, for me it was more like a 7/10 perhaps I wanted a bit more digging deeper around why drones are so pleasing and transcendent to hear. he also seemed to have more of a liking of the heavier rock end of things than me, and equated heavy sustain very closely to drone. still, a...

angelsighs

More from the Silver Current label, and a band I'd not heard before, I just knew the name-Growing https://growing-music.bandcamp.com/album/diptych Yeah, I really like the sound of this. Got it on pre-order at Norman with a whole bunch of other stuff. it's good isn't it? Silver Current records is de...

angelsighs

LGM definitely sounds a bit fuller and with a bit more presence.. basically sounds great. bare in mind I am comparing this to my CD copy so not exactly like for like. seems like the glow in the dark Pure Phase is a bit rarer than the white LGM for some reason.. last time I was able to get the white ...

angelsighs

By the way, if anyone is looking for an art print with their PP it looks like Recordstore.co.uk have got them this time that's weird, why only from there! it doesn't even say whether it's A2 like the other one as well. What do people think? Is there anything in the Spaceman vaults that could still ...

angelsighs

I have a theory that Good Times may not originally have been intended to be on the album (see the track listing on the original vinyl sleeve, and on the new TShirt). Not sure if Jason changed his mind or they ended up with a spare side of vinyl but they put it on the last side of the vinyl together...

angelsighs

looks like no art print this time? surprisingly as I know some people would have liked a complete set. glow in the dark tee though- no brainer! and green mug. what is it people aren't liking about the packaging- is it the minimalist approach? I agree this can go either way and can look a bit cheap. ...

angelsighs

I'm with Olan here. Not the slightest bit sad. LGM & PP were two albums in need of a well executed reissue, which appears to be the case here. Besides, BZA was entertaining a lady on Saturday night thereby striking a blow for all of us board nerds. Good to know others are on the same page! With...

angelsighs

I like it. it is glow in the dark- if I squint I can read that in the notes in the corner. Spiritualized Store is currently closed. Now we know the cut off point for buying merch! yeah maybe the merch is kind of made to order, rather than having everything in stock the whole time. might be sad, or i...

angelsighs

White vinyl copies are starting to turn up at the indie record stores now that it's release date. So people haven't missed out if they didn't order from the website

angelsighs

in terms of the glitch, I was talking about the CD glitch back in the day on the original LGM. So what is this glitch then? I have both versions of the original LGM cd (4 and 12 tracks) and i can't say i've ever noticed a glitch. Time to relisten methinks! This is totally from memory, so others may...

angelsighs

in terms of the glitch, I was talking about the CD glitch back in the day on the original LGM. no idea what glitches are or aren't there now! And day to day Spotify is just so convenient. If I'm really 'listening' to an album, I'll defer to the CD. And vinyl would probably just have been a first lis...

angelsighs

see I would say that all those issues are why CDs are better.. but the initial CD did have that glitch as well! I'd agree that that german site looks legit, but why not wait until the official announcement anyway? if LGM was announced in Feb for Apr release, then the PP announcement shouldn't be too...

angelsighs

You're right, yeah. The record company would want to wait at the very least.
Just hope all that extra time doesn't tempt Jason to tinker and 'give it one more remix!'
Maybe 'A song' will make it onto the next one?

angelsighs

Yeah good point! Surely that has to be the way it's going with the sleeves

angelsighs

More from the Silver Current label, and a band I'd not heard before, I just knew the name-Growing https://growing-music.bandcamp.com/album/diptych I know there's a lot of drone lovers here and this is really good stuff. However I dug deeper and the really good stuff for me seems to be their earlier ...

angelsighs

Some interviews are starting to come out alongside reviews of the reissues. Kevin said he had a lot of new material. Was going to be 2 EPs, now it's at least an album with an EP or two on top. Release does seem a way off though. The new Loveless reissue actually is kind of *another* slight remaster....

angelsighs

Yeah maybe he's going for kind of a 'reverse negative' thing with the reissues? I remember that Jimmy Page went for a very similar thing when the Zep albums were reissued a few years back. I'd you look at the Spiritualized album sleeves, it would actually work with most of them Gimme them mugs, post...

angelsighs

I read the whole article and yknow what, I am also thinking that he may have meant it that way. If you read it carefully. Maybe just wishful thinking haha Some other great tidbits in there. He's read a bit of Will's book, he's still in contact with Pete Kember with the legal stuff (and thought it wa...

angelsighs

My assumption was that toomilk was referring to the fact that Frasier is a pretty mainstream, non edgy sitcom. Nothing wrong with that. It's not one of my favourites but it's very well written. The whole debate on 'separating the art from the artist' could be a whole thread of its own! And is someti...

angelsighs

Should get it around 2024 so. Along with the MBV one. you may be right! depends how far along he is I guess. if the songs are just written, or recorded as well. Let’s hope that the reissue campagne will make him enough money to hire a proper mixing engineer this time. I know I am in the minority, b...

angelsighs

Yeah I reckon the strings on The Twelve Steps are in the vein of something like Curtis Mayfield

Interesting to hear everyone's different views on the album here. In a few months it will be 20 years old..

angelsighs

looks like the issue with the questions for Jason is the next one (Dylan on the cover- comes out on Thursday). its also got MBV and Can listed as articles so think I may well purchase.

angelsighs

As for the Directions To See A Ghost reissue? £45 I could just about handle but an extra £15 for coloured vinyl is taking the mick I feel, Rough Trade easily holding onto their crown as the UKs Greediest Recored Shop though coming in at an eye watering £73!!! https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/the-black...

angelsighs

:lol: Hilarious :lol: Twelve Steps and Won't Get To Heaven are the only two songs that thrill me on LICD! I'm certainly in agreement with niamhm on the latter. The rest of the album is fine but i could take it or leave it really. interesting! just to be clear, I don't think that Won't Get To Heaven...

angelsighs

I agree, I really like Let It Come Down and think it's really up there as one of the bands best albums. I can see why fans of the early stuff may be not as keen as it's quite a change in sound. But I just love that he really went for it with the orchestral epic style and didn't do it by halves. The ...

angelsighs

Yeah that's silly money, weird.

Thanks, I'm a bit wary now of the Live album. I guess the tracks are not all from the same show so quality may vary a bit.

angelsighs

Listened to Allelujah, Don't Bend Ascend over the weekend. Now that's a Godspeed album! I honestly think Mladic is one of the best things they've ever done (when those big chords start chugging up it actually reminds me of Spacemen 3) and the ambient drone bits are really nice and atmospheric too. I...

angelsighs

Directions To See A Ghost has been reissued on triple vinyl.. yours for £60, or £45 for the non deluxe version!! :shock: https://www.normanrecords.com/records/98244-black-angels-directions-to-see-a-ghost also has anyone listened to their physical version of Live at Levitation yet? I've heard a coupl...

angelsighs

There's a podcast here which interviews Mick Houghton, I found it quite enjoyable. Only one mention of Jason, near the end. he says that Jason was actually one of the nicest people to work with. the hosts go a bit quiet, almost like they have never heard of Spiritualized before.. http://wordpodcast...

angelsighs

anyone familiar with the band Monoshock? I'd only really known the name before. Cardinal Fuzz are reissuing a collection of their tracks so checked it out. apparently an influence on Comets on Fire which is plain to hear, but I could also see fans of The Heads enjoying. scuzzy, fuzzy rock and roll ...

angelsighs

ah now you're all now spotting things I missed!

yeah the Carlton Melton looks good, some songs from the same session as the last album.

angelsighs

https://recordstoreday.co.uk/news/posts/2021/official-record-store-day-uk-releases-revealed/ the list has been revealed. is anyone that bothered? like last year they are doing it in 'drops' rather than one big day. first year without any Spacemen 3 releases for a while I think? does that mean they r...

Tour dates, real live tour dates! Next year http://cstrecords.com/godspeed-you-black-emperor-announces-early-2022-tour-dates/ WOOHOO!!!!! Roll on pay day! :D Barrowlands is a good venue too right? round here they are playing Coventry... that depressing concrete bleakness kinda fits them perfectly! ...

Tour dates, real live tour dates! Next year

angelsighs

Ah right, understood! It would have been a hard enough experience even without other bands slagging you off. Good job the audience liked them then!

angelsighs

I can see how it wouldn't be their audience and a little bit alienating.

angelsighs

It’s strange as I don’t even consider loveless to be their best. m b v is way better for me. I actually almost agree with you there. Loveless is great and all that, very unique album, nothing is quite like it despite all their imitators. mbv is really good as well though- continues their sound a bi...

sunray wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 10:57 pm I hope any reissues would be double lp's. I was surprised the last remasters remained single albums.

still single LPs!
I checked and Loveless is 48 minutes long. kind of the upper limit for vinyl and sound quality right?

ah so that explain the recent social media presence!

fairly underwhelming I guess, but good to get these back in print regardless. I think they were difficult to find before? I still have a feeling that new material is on the way and this is just the first step. can anybody tell me if the Loveless remaster is worth it? it's a great album obviously but...

That would be amazing.

That would be cool! Especially if they do merch and I can get a glow in the dark mug to match my Spiritualized one!

angelsighs

same here Flo, I've been watching a fair bit of old live footage on Youtube. that's the thing with these virtual gigs- unless they try and make it special somehow, what tangibly is different from just doing that? there's endless stuff on YT, it's bottomless I know it's important to support bands but...
