Spiritualized

angelsighs

Same old story for me- Britpop was where I as a young lad first got into music (so i have got a nostalgic connection to it), but looking back now it all seems so limited, conservative and retro. The union jack stuff makes me queasy too, i've never been into all that sort of thing. And i do remember ...

angelsighs

Loz Colbert, Josh Garza, Reni.. I also second Billy Ficca- i thought i was the only one who found his drumming brilliant. But my number one is Mitch Mitchell. He's phenomenal and just as instrumental as Jimi himself in the sound of the Experience. Miles better than the overrated Keith Moon but hardl...

...with the possible exception of all the better ones!

I'm siding with runcible here.. they are not my favourite band per se, but in an objective sense they must be up there as one of the best.

angelsighs

So basically, the answer is no- the Daniel covers haven't been done in the studio as far as anyone is aware.

angelsighs

My favorite is Ween. Then the Flaming Lips and Spiritualized are tied for second place. Low and Wilco right below that. oohh.. I'm just getting into Wilco recently, going through a great honeymoon period where i've found a great band who have somehow passed me by, and gobbling up their back catalog...

angelsighs

Yep, it sounds kind of lame on a Spiritualized message board but thinking about it there's no other band who tick all the boxes for me, and move me in the same way. They go across the whole musical spectrum, doing both pulsating drone rock and exquisitely arranged 'proper songs' equally as well. Can...

angelsighs

but personaly the one person that i could not get enough of live has to be dylan. you just can't tear your eyes away I'm a bit scared to see Dylan live, i'm worried he'll be really crap. But he is a bit of a god to me- some pictures and video clips of Bob just ooze charisma and presence. My choices...

angelsighs

Sort of good news then i suppose. But myspace sites are always dubious i think even the 'official' ones.

Imagine this.. the new album bundled with acoustic mainlines live CD and a DVD of the sage show... mmm

angelsighs

The Howl Sessions sound really great but unless i'm mistaken you can only buy it, from the official website, as part of a bundle with the actual album. doh!

They must be bloody good songs if they're better than the album- its brilliant.

angelsighs

Sounds brilliant. Patti Smith was also amazing at ATP.

Man i'd love to see Comets on Fire- was this one of the gigs where they played Blue Cathedral all the way through? Also has anyone else heard that they are splitting up?

angelsighs

These guys sound right up my street, thanks for the tip.

angelsighs

1) The Stone Roses - After the brilliance of the first album, the huge wait & massive hype all that is left is a band enthralled by too much cocaine & a poor interpretation of Led Zep. John Squire what happened? 2) House Of Love - One of the greatest singles ever in Destroy The Heart, a gre...

angelsighs

Anyway, Angelsighs i'm sorry for hijacking your thread. But I will say this on topic- don't start with this album. But if you do... go right to 'Peggy Sue' :lol: Hijack away! This all rather interesting, both in the varying viewpoints on the Beach Boys catalogue and the passion its all being put fo...

angelsighs

No but i've been thinking about it for a while. Now you've flagged it I think i'll shell out.

Does anyone know what involvement Sonic has with this project precisely?

angelsighs

Fucking. Hell. Am I dreaming? This is the best news in ages. Hope Nick lets us see what crazy shit he's got on his hard drive.

angelsighs

Thanks for all the recommendations- it seems the consensus is to go for the proper albums. I always got the impression that the later BB albums didn't hang together because of Brians more refined and melancholy tunes rubbing up against the other songwriters weaker/more trad ones. Thats why i was han...

angelsighs

Cool- sounds like a great gig. When i saw Morrissey the sound was really flat so this guitar heavy style sounds much better. Sounds like a good setlist too- Ive Changed My Plea is one of my Moz faves!

ok now i'm confused- so the versions of medication on CWV1, the 7" and Friendly Fire are all different? Someone please clarify

angelsighs

I can't help feeling that Will wasn't in the right for releasing the cd's (although I'm grateful he did) and that the site has just responded. I guess the quality of the 'to follow' stuff will show if this was a petty trick or the start of something really worthwhile... Totally agree.. the real tes...

angelsighs

At ATP Patti Smith was saying how she was watching Doctor Who in her chalet, and had to miss the end of the episode because she had to come and do the gig.. Such a strange image!

angelsighs

Excellent news!! wonder what it will be like- orchestral? ambient soundscapes?

Seems J is really digging doing extra curricular stuff at the mo- Guitar Loops, Silent Sound, remixes, playing with Patti Smith..

angelsighs

I agree.. unless you are lucky enough to live in one of the big cities where bands come through all the time, most gigs are just not feasible in the midweek. Its a pain in the ass.

angelsighs

I don't reckon the current tour is making much money, even without lighting etc theres a lot of musicians to pay and classical sorts don't come cheap.

Its is amazing. Buy it and play it LOUD.

Amplified Trio it is then. The description sounds brilliant.

This is one band reformation i could definitely see working, I know i'd be first in line for tickets.
But it seems its just not true..

Got mine yesterday, Its brill. Particularly love the takes of Angel Sigh, complete with studio banter and feedback.

angelsighs

more chilled out and subdued sounds just fine to me.

angelsighs

Good point... Its interesting that the first tour was simply billed as J Spaceman and the latest one as Spiritualized Acoustic Mainlines. I wonder whether the tour actually reflects the sound of the new album?? It seems to be where Jasons 'at' right now, but electric versions of the new songs were o...

angelsighs

Guess i'll have to start aquiring their whole catalogue!!- loving Cindy so far- its much better than the awful very early 90s sleeve suggests.

angelsighs

Just procured a copy of this album (been intrigued for a long time due to the Spz connection) for only a fiver.

But even better than that... its only bloody signed on the front by all members of the band! Wasn't expecting that!! Bargain!

angelsighs

God the Treader packaging is beautiful- just love those embossed sleeves. I'm tempted by the 'Amplified Trio' one.

angelsighs

Ditto with the shivers- what a tune, still a cornerstone of the live set after 15 years. In a way its the quintissential drone rock tune- doesn't change key or (hardly) chord for the whole tune, just gets faster and more intense!! This Brixton DVD looks pretty pretty good- the sound is not bad like ...

happy birthday for recently laz. i dropped my monies off for both blue on blue and a belated copy of friendly fire last week, and the man i gave the cash to tells me the version of this blues is superb. i look forward to their arrival. Where did you manage to get friendly fire from? Still haven't m...

angelsighs

Indeed...at first I wasn't sure if it was just 'cause it was a new tune, but having listened to the whole album many times I just can't get enough of the droney bassline and magnificent guitar I assume Ira played; Totally agree- sometimes i get 'stuck' on opening tracks of albums for a bit but then...

Cool, never got around to getting Live in Japan myself, its a bit hard to get hold of, but i have got a bootleg from that tour which is stunning.

angelsighs

It is indeed an awful song, and i'm a bit of a fan (or well used to be). The really weird thing is that the new album has been getting surprisingly good reviews.

Yeah, I didn't much like the one that came out last year- there wasn't enough music in it. But this one sounds incredible... HOW much footage!!

I totally disagree the mix is tinny - it's well polished and well balanced frequency-wise I don't agree it's a throwaway work - it's a part of a musical evolution that I hope keeps on going. Given the fantastic reception to the Acoustic Mainlines concept I think it's evident there's creative life l...

More of my faves from the last decade..

First Wave Intact- Secret Machines
Cedar Room- doves
Awake- BRMC
Blue Straggler- Electrelane

Thinking back for some reason the past few years for me seem to be dominated by bands who come out with a stonking debut album but then slip up after that.

I was listening to Amazing Grace the other day and I was amazed at how poorly it has aged; it sounds even worse than the first time I heard it. I hope the new album is as far from that shit as possible. Got to disagree (slightly) here... I played AG all the way through for the first time in ages th...

Good topic- can't stand the attitude some people have that all the great music has been and gone. Hmmm. The stuff that has most excited me in that time has been what most people call 'post rock'. This stuff works best as whole albums, so its hard to pick out individual songs, but I would identify th...

I've voted for jazzy leanings- my ideal would be for Jason to really explore both the floaty lullaby jazzy stuff (Rated X) and the screeching heavy type (No God Only Religion, Cop Shoot Cop) in an album length form. Get the horns back, man. Like the Ladies and Gents album though, it would have great...

So I assume the setlist was similar to recent gigs? How did Jason go down with the ATP crowd?

Yeah, this is harder than it looks- for all its flaws, trying to add the more groove based B sides onto the album unbalances it a little. And there's a lot of great material to choose from.

Kick Out The Jams is predictably my favourite, one of the best live albums ever (infact best live albums may be due a thread soon) with High Time a very close second.
