Spiritualized

Only just happened upon these, via Anton Newcombe's youtube site. Matt Hollywood's part time band? Very heavily Spacemen influenced. By God, it's marvellous stuff. I can only find 4 songs, nothing released, but a youtube ripper will suffice. Abusing the System - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoqQHh...

Had a listen today. It's really good. T he Hookworms singer has even managed to reign in the vocal histrionics ! Definitely one of the better Sonic Cathedral releases. Most of the ones i've heard were too lightweight for my tastes, but this hits the spot! Anyone who missed out on buying a copy and ...

The Chester night is going to be a great! I caught Bo Ningen in the same venue last year, nice and intimate. Bit more info here: http://thereisspaceshipsoverdeeside.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/rope-presents-anthroprophh-chester_11.html I'll be spinning a few tunes as Spaceships over Deeside, may drop so...

I think it's incredible. I love how it starts off with tracks that could have been on Loveless, before pulling further and further away from that as the album goes on. The final 3 tracks are absolute monsters. I really hope they play a lot of this live on the upcoming UK tour. I've had it on a loop...

KingHarry

It seem that the elements of My Bloody Valentine that i love are not those they have chosen to progress with. The snooze pop of large sections of Loveless are prominent on mbv but i love the chaos and drive of Isn't Anything and its bsides. I am also very fond of Ecstasy and Wine. I know there is s...

Factory Floor - Fall Back 12" - Debut release for FF on DFA records. Really liked this. If you've been tickled by recent Death In Vegas releases this could suit your needs nicely. Signing to DFA was a good idea I reckon. This has certainly whet my appetite for the album. There's a tremendous F...

KingHarry

I'd have loved to have gone - Computerworld would have been the one if I'd had a choice, but couldn't make the trip.

I've never witnessed them live.

The fact that there were tickets all over ebay at Â£300+ just further erodes my faith in the human race.

KingHarry

That massive space near the entrance I would think - the Turbine Hall?

Mr Kember not happy. His choice of single yes?

KingHarry

where i thought of kember was on that ascending keyboard melody on "New You".. it seems not far from Big City edit: on another note i forgot how good MBV Arkestra is.. the excitement of this release had me dusting off some of his remixes and such leading up to this.. mogwai fear satan is ...

KingHarry

I'm on second spin now. I think it is absolutely fantastic. One ironic thing is that some of the abrupt song endings actually suggest that thing has been chopped up and rushed ... after 22 years! There are initially massive echoes of Loveless - certainly Only Tomorrow could come from the same sessio...

KingHarry

Thanks Mark

Shame that - can't do the Friday dates in London / Leeds and Bristol is too much of a hike.

KingHarry

This seems to be only available on vinyl?

KingHarry

nice one chaps.

Will get this.

I couldn't see the list of dates there. Are there any other than Leeds 22nd March and London 1st Feb? NWest perhaps?

Many thanks

KingHarry

I read a review in STimes for new project from one of members of The Heads at the weekend. New side project - more of a motorik / krautrock feel to it. Stewart Lee did the reveiw and is normally a decent gauge of quality, and it sounded promising. I no longer have the paper, or remeber the name of t...

never really got into these - apart from the quality of their record sleeves. Must give them another go. They do have the nicest looking records going. You should definitely check out their music. The first 2 albums are absolute crackers and I really like their 3rd too. Give them another try King H...

Magic Castles hasn't been mentioned yet - I forgot it on my list. Should definitely be on there, think it's great.

No great surprise, has gone into administration. No particular loss either, as I've not set foot inside one for many years and they are less a music shop than a games and video store - not that that is any consolation to those losing jobs. But - presumably Fopp will go with them, which would be a gr...

KingHarry

good shout, hadn't seen that. Will definitely be attending this - not seen Sun Araw before.

KingHarry

it has a similar sound and feel to that of heathen . hopefully the new album has more echoes of that, because i thought that album was brilliant. the album's subject matter sounds promising, based on that artwork interview thing. looking forward to hearing more! Heathen definitely the best post-Sca...

KingHarry

It's definitely a grower. Really like it now.

It's a good point. It's the weight of the vinyl that's the real killer.

KingHarry

TheWarmth wrote:I LOVE the instant downloads. That is something that GPS might consider.

I met the GPS chap (Dom?) at (I think) Wooden Shjips in Manchester last summer. I mentioned this very thing to him - it clearly wasn't a new idea to him, but didn't seem keen - vinyl only seemed to be the path.

Lovely song. Not sure about the artwork.

Think the artwork is the best bit.

KingHarry

There's a great podcast on MixCloud - Weatherall talking music with Richard Fearless, loosley around what music contributed to the making of the last DIV lp.
Excellent stuff, lots of Krautrock.

KingHarry

KS remix of Frank & Walters - Take Me Through This Life also worth digging out

KingHarry

This really is a beautiful album and, not unsurprisingly, has a bit of a Spectrum feel to it. Didn't realise just how much involvement Sonic had with the album.... I was under the impression that he just produced or mastered it but he plays on every track and co-wrote a couple of the tracks too. Re...

Alas, I've never had the opportunity to listen to any EAR. Does it have the slightly pop quality of the more floaty Spectrum stuff or is it purely abstract? There's definitely no pop to it! I'm working through Beyond The Pale and the Koner Experiment currently. Cautiously enjoying it. Next stop Del...

KingHarry

I have Mesmerised and like it. I suspect this is the nearest EAR to Spectrum material. Have found much of the rest of EAR 'difficult'. And have associated it's output with Forever Alien - which largely leaves me cold. I do like the Spectrum material on the Imaginary Friends split - particularly Tast...

Pretty sure they are down for next Austin Psych Fest? Not a tour, but hopefully shows they've not jacked it in. Frankly, would be devestated if they did.

I went to this last night. Small old beautiful church set in grounds directly behind St Pancras station. Nice little enclave. A fantastic venue - credit to Sonic Cathedral. Was a really sublime beautiful event, ventured south on my own to witness it, and pleased I did. It's difficult to imagine a le...

Yep. I think the Stereolab split will be different. That's going to be another hour in the room my CDs are in to try and find that bloody promo!

Nice one on the Stereolab track, just done a bit of trawling - track list =

A. Soul Kiss Glide Divine (Spectrum)
B1. Tone Burst (demo) (Stereolab)
B2. Tempter (demo) (Stereolab)

The A side - what is that?

KingHarry

The Spectrum / Stereolab split 7' - of which there were only 25 copies made it seems - what was actually on it, and are the track/s available via alternative format?

KingHarry

Great venue - not at all packed, not sure if it's normally like that, or whether they failed to sell out, or whether they just don't cram them in there.. Got it in one. Even if it's full it's comfortable which is why it's the best venue in the UK. The fact that the sound system is shit hot helps to...

Wasn't at the show, but Nath who runs Brudenell was telling us last night that one of the support bands unplugged Moon Duo's really old and tempermental Moog when it needed to be left turned on, and so when Moon Duo started it played for about 5 seconds and spluttered to a halt, and wouldn't turn b...

Clive Dunn of Dad's Army fame died today. On the radio they played the opening of Grandpa We Love You, his hit from the late 70's as part of a tribute.

I was struck how the song structure is similar to the opening of Ladies & Gentleman.

Has this been noted before?

KingHarry

looking through youtube the other night - there is some great Fuxa videos on there, simple stuff, just close focus on keyboard. There's a version of Mary of theirs - I'd always assumed that was a Sonic composition - is it a Fuxa cover?

KingHarry

Just picked up a mint copy of Splitting the Atom from Sister Ray in Soho for Â£6. Very happy - great shop that.

Not many vinyl shops left on Berwick Street - sad.

KingHarry

re the chuch venue, he and PK are doing something similar later this month at St Pancras Old Church in London, 22nd November. I'm definately attending and have also had happy confirmation that although it is being held in a house of worship, they will be selling alcohol.

KingHarry

For anyone who doesn't have them (if this is OK to post) here are the Recurring Demos that circulated a few years back -- 2 separate folders.

It should be noted that Kirkland milked it. Wasn't as if he was sparked out - just a bit of fanny shove really.

you haven't been watching that show, Being Liverpool? It's toe curling wank.

It appears to be an actual church.
