Loving this thread. But had to post this in reference to the original post picture.

Did anyone see the Spiritualized Facebook and Twitter plugging the new Killing Joke album yesterday.It suggests Youth is still on the new Spiritualized album in some way?

heisenberg

This is pretty sweet, moop. Very mellow and the guitars sound particularly beautiful in parts. I can understand the twin peaks references it's getting, too. Overall, the production is great and it sounds pretty full and layered through my stereo system. Good stuff indeed. It is also a strong counter...

heisenberg

Didn't they have mattresses in the studio when they were making The Perfect Prescription? Maybe that's where you got that idea from?

heisenberg

I agree to some extent with The Dr that I liked some of the acoustic mainlines takes on some of the songs better than their a+e final versions. A+E is the most bulky and inconsistent album from Spiritualized, which is perfectly understandable given that the recording was interrupted by its author te...

heisenberg

Didn't Lena Dunham molest her baby sister and write about it extensively in her book? That fact alone deters me from watching any of her work, which appears to me to be little more than trust fund, hipster shit. Plus I know a creepy and very unusual guy who always posts on his social media sites abo...

heisenberg

Maybe the ulterior motive was that he wanted J to play some whamonica on an anniversary rerecording of Karma Chameleon.

heisenberg

I think he's a tea man as well! I often use this analogy of Jason Pierce with people when I'm trying to convey my love and admiration for his body of work or to try give him his place in the grand scheme of things (because he's consistently overlooked in my opinion and many people have not heard of ...

heisenberg

Still can't believe I didn't see this gig. Looking back, I don't honestly think that I had a good reason not to be there. By all accounts and by the bootleg, it was a monumental and euphoric night. This show is definitely up there with the Forever Changes tour in 2005 as the gig I most regret missin...

heisenberg

Happy 25th birthday to Spiritualized!

I wonder if Jason prefers to drink tea or coffee when he's working in the studio.

heisenberg

I like them a lot. At their best, the music is very melodic (can't say that for a lot of 'psych' or 'space' rock bands). Some cool grooves and great bass playing. His use of synths and effects is always very colourful and bright too. And for the Lennon vocal thing? I can hear it, but to me he just s...

Heisenberg - go and download that comp of various tunes from the 2013 tour that is in the bootlegs thread - if unable to do so PM me.

I have only seen one song from the set (Soul on Fire which was posted on the band's Twitter). I agree with BZA, Spaceman looks in good shape and happy, which pleased me to see. Good to see he treated himself to a Jazzmaster too. Considering some of the crud they show on BBC, I'm happy the band are g...

heisenberg

I loved all of the previous Sun kil Moon albums and most of the Red House Painters albums, and I'd argue that a lot of the guy's best work has been overlooked (April, for example). But I just can't understand the hype over Benji. To me it's just talking over fingerpicked guitar in a rambling, stream...

heisenberg

Ghost Stories by Coldplay. Very rock. "Call it magic...oh-oh-oh-oh-a-oh!" Rocks like a bitch, that band. And that cheerful Sam Smith song that I have to endure about four times a day at work? It actually makes me look forward to Adele or a solo Spice Girl song coming on after it. That's ho...

heisenberg

I'm actually surprised they didn't opt for Sgt. Peppers, especially as it was recorded at the same time as Piper... But then again, the way they've written the small paragraph on Madcap, it almost suggests that Syd Barrett died 40 years ago. Guessing they aren't too fussy over historical fact. Perso...

Let It Come Down is in the list. But then again so is Florence and the (corporate "I wasn't talented enough to be an actress so I'll try being a wacky musician instead" music for middle-class Glastonbury goers) Machine.

heisenberg

I thought the Black Submarine album was ok. Some nice enough touches and a few good moments made it passable for me. I think a slightly rawer edge might be beneficial to their sound should they make another album. I get the feeling that band might not be around much longer, though. They seemed to be...

heisenberg

And Urban Hymns of course, Bza.

heisenberg

I think it might take Jesus, Buddha etc... to revive his career. That or doing some very, very stripped down songs (with electric shocks anytime he mentions a deity), and letting Nick McCabe produce. The former looks more likely to happen though.

heisenberg

Let it Happen has really grown on me. That outro is just exquisite. I think the production is super tight too. Maybe my favourite new song of the year so far. The new single, I'm not so sure about. Perhaps it will grow on me, but I've only played it once and don't have too much desire to hear it aga...

heisenberg

I found that funny too. Why go to all that hassle of making books, hand-binding them, all that aggro etc when he could have just written it and put it in digital format? Surely the point is to have it available to as many people as possible? Probably would have made just as much money going digital...

heisenberg

Trout Mask Replica at number one? Definitely a weird album, but perhaps too obvious a choice to put in pole position? And agreed about Sgt. Pepper ... If you do have to put a Beatles record in this list, surely you'd put The Beatles in it? Or Yellow Submarine or Magical Mystery Tour ? Not the one w...

heisenberg

Moon Duo Shadow of the Sun and red 7". So far I think it's pretty poor. Disappointed. If you're in the USA and fancy a trade of some sort, keep me in mind. I'm in the UK, I'm afraid. Otherwise, I'd practically hand you it. The irony being that I had it shipped from the US. Aren't they repressi...

heisenberg

I really want to try a career change (or more specifically, escape my terrible current job/sector). But I don't know exactly what I want to do, and I've no idea how I'd pay bills/rent etc if I was a student or no longer working full-time. Anyone got any experiences of something similar to my situati...

heisenberg

For me, I like the first album for its extremely simplistic and hypnotic aesthetic. Great guitar sound too. I also like C'mon (I think that is a pretty underrated album). They do some good covers, too. I like their take on the Bee Gees song, and their version of Long Long Long (you could argue that,...

heisenberg

I can't get the track to download. Anyone got any idea how it works?

I think it's a good song. I'm a big fan of their work and I'm going to see them play in September.

heisenberg

I have huge respect for Gilmour. He seems like a very cool guy, very respectful and open-minded as a musician and as a person. For me though, Syd Barrett is my pick every time, and by a considerable distance. Aside from that unique, rough but brilliant guitar style, his voice is very beautiful and h...

heisenberg

I got one of these quite recently (2 Christmases ago), and I love it. I think it is madness that they have been discontinued. I'm very much of the (old fogey?) mindset that a phone is a phone and a music player is a music player. I really dislike spotify (go Team Taylor! :D ) and streaming music. Fa...

heisenberg

Perhaps the next Kanye single will have a half-assed sample of a Spiritualized tune (akin to his treatment of Daft Punk/Aphex), with some self-aggrandising rap/singing over it? All topped off with a vacuous Kardashian-starring video to boot.

heisenberg

He is everywhere. But so is ebola and terrorism.

This streetsign deserves a Grammy for outstanding contribution to music.

heisenberg

Just seen on the nice n sleazy's website that Afx is going to be there 20:00-00:00 on Sunday 8th Feb.

heisenberg

See the thing is, I love Amazing Grace. I listened to it loads when it came out and I would likely still pick it over maybe two of the other Spz albums. ...Richie Lee into Cheapster into Rated X? Cannae whack it. Anyway, sorry to derail the thread. Who's started downloading the Afx stuff? Where do y...

heisenberg

These tracks are fantastic. I thought Syro was pretty dull, I have to say. I would have loved to have had an album more like this. Anyone else think he is trolling by putting the bland stuff out commercially and promoting it hard, and then leaking the better material for free on the internet? What a...

heisenberg

CD appreciation thread. Here's a small sampling of my Spiritualized CD collection. It includes unopened copies of LAGWAFIS (12 X CD3 and single disc) and LICD, some Japanese releases (with the usual bonus track), a pre-release "Elvis version" of LAGWAFIS, and my beloved CD single of Anywa...

heisenberg

I find it interesting that after years of producing the records himself he's got a producer in. I'm intrigued and will be interested in hearing (if he discusses it at some point) why he's taken this step. My guess? Recording and producing an album at home would drive any sane person back to a studio...

heisenberg

Spiritualized posted on facebook just now they've started recording a new album with Youth.

heisenberg

Visconti's fee is probably astronomical. Uncool to bring up, but I bet it was a factor. Is it true Spaceman tried to get Eno to produce Ladies and Gentlemen? Again, I bet spaceman didn't put enough money on the table for Eno. As a producer, Eno is totally motivated by money. I do remember seeing him...

heisenberg

I'd put my money on us seeing a new album no earlier than 2016. Don't the albums get released on average every 4 years or so. And isn't the mixing the part of the process that takes the most time?

heisenberg

Yeah, that's a shocking oversight. But then again an awards show where Lee mack, david Mitchell and Jack whitehall are all considered funny must be taken with a pinch of salt.

heisenberg

Conclusive that bitchfests and Morrissey go hand in hand. Or is that Hand in Glove? (boom tish).

heisenberg

What song did they use?

Lord Can You Shear Me?

Hay Man

Seriously, what song was used on the show?

heisenberg

The highlight of my year was being in love too. Just a shame the other person didn't feel the same

.....

heisenberg

The mid-season finale depressed me. What a downer. The actual events that happened (and which i will not spoil right now should anyone not have seen it- I'm not facebook or Twitter, after all :p) were really horrific, unexplainable and pretty much negates what we had been watching the last few episo...

heisenberg

Not to derail this thread, but seeing as it's about the Verve... In his autobiography, The Verve's manager Jazz Summers describes both the band's breakups (he wasn't their manager pre UH) in fairly deep detail. Some interesting facts, including how they did themselves out of a massive amount of mone...

heisenberg

Some of the perks are very funny. Will turns up to your house, sings, reads some excepts from the book and sleeps in your seetee for €400.

heisenberg

Revelation is a great album and has totally grown on me over the year. I'll need to check the video ep

heisenberg

Jeez! That video!!

(No Pride) In The Name of God.

See what I did there?

heisenberg

Is Spaceman into Girls/Christopher Owens? That inclusion kinda took me by surprise.

heisenberg

And scary that ten years later, the Palestine situation (which I believe this gig was to raise money for?) is just as horrific. Sad stuff.

heisenberg

No Libertines?! Tsk.....

heisenberg

I've preordered this too. I was heavily into Circles last year. Really love that album.

heisenberg

When you said you had a bit of a rough time recording this, I imagined some Albion-dwelling hooligans stamping you into the ground and/or spraying blood at you with a syringe in bored anticipation of Pete and the Other One.. But it was even worse than that - having to pee at a gig but not wanting to...

heisenberg

I saw them last night in Glasgow. Sold out the abc. They were good, they played servo, when jokers attack, sailor and a few others I dig from the early years. Played a few off the new one too. I think they started at 8:00pm, which meant I (and probably most people) missed the start of the set. They ...

heisenberg

There's more than three tracks from that BBC LICD session? I need to hear them too, I love those that have been released on the b-sides.

heisenberg

A big thank you for this. What a treat!

I'm so proud to be on this messageboard. People offering up their time doing such acts of kindness like this for the rest of us- Wow! Thanks again.

heisenberg

Such sad, rotten news. I was a huge fan of his work. I had the Bottom TV shows on those massive BBC video boxes, and later bought the DVD boxset. I also saw Bottom live in Glasgow in 1997. was probably too young to be allowed in to the show, but it changed my life in a similar way that the great mus...

heisenberg

Absolute gentleman. Thank you!

heisenberg

This link should still be active - the legendary Tufty recorded this show. Seemingly he was sitting a few seats along from me... enjoy! http://www.4shared.com/zip/o1fYR7Lb/Edinburgh_Queens_Hall_25_Nov_2.html cheers for that! I'm having a nightmare trying to download this. Everything I click on is q...

heisenberg

Damn, my laptop is broken right now and so I can't download this.

Any chance of anyone pasting the sleeve interview up here, I'm intrigued.

Thanks.
