Spiritualized

Oh for sure. At endless 3am when I’m not sleeping it’s always hilarious/troubling/wild to read what kind of shit I was posting back in the day. Obviously - the threads with 3 pages plus are generally entertaining. Kinda wish the old forum messages had been included though. There was some seriously d...

Proper thing about separating the art from the artist...

He produced some of my favourite ever music.

Typical reaction and comment from someone from Michigan. Home of Kid Rock and Ted Nugent and the Wolverine Militia. You shown your true colors now, dude. Never cursed. Never said one negative comment about you. You need help ... like Trump. :roll: You need the help. Like huge amounts of it. Trollin...

Happy new year to you all!

Waylon & Jessie’s “A Country Star is born” has been played a lot. Also Screaming Trees “Dust” which after 24 years still sounds superb

Bumpy bumpy bump time, but if anyone fancies an ambient/world music hour-long cover of "Brown Rice" and some tangential Electric Mainline vibes, this is what you need, and it's free to buy if you like :) https://tuluumshimmering.bandcamp.com/album/brown-rice (no, it's not me, i just love ...

Sault have been an utter revelation for me. Two sensational albums last year, “5” and “7”, then something even better this summer with “Untitled (Black Is)”...” Utter revelation is right. Thanks for this. This has literally made my year after a year of bullshit, lies and nonsense. I rate a lot of t...

Let it flow...

So - got stuck into listening to this CDR I found while clearing shit out - it’s been an amazing commute listen. Mainly John Peel sessions. ‘Walking with Jesus’ from 1995 hits the sweet spot between pure garage noise and The Beach Boys. Despite the whole thing being live recordings, a lot of post-pr...

Thanks to both mojo and the recording legend that is Tufty for their kind assistance.

I need to post here more. It’s truly the best social media place out there.

Love you all!

Hey, Anyone able to send on the FLAC version of this show - Dimeadozen will not allow me access despite attempts yet again. This is an awesome recording and ‘Let’s Dance’ is unbelievable even in VBR mp3 - although I would really appreciate a HQ version - pretty sure I can hear myself throughout the ...

‘The Morning After’

Tufty, thanks so much for this.

As required live experience going down very well here.

I want to go back there!

Thank you so much for this.

Right now, it’s a real soul-balm to everything else...

Beautiful recording. This rates with the Portugal show in intensity and quality.

I’ve heard this album so many times - I’m really keen to hear a remastered take - Alan’s mention above of being more “full of life” appeals to me I suspect due to its production and mastering it was always going to best suited to a digital (CD) edition back in 1997: the original vinyl edition was pr...

Hi Everyone, Sorry I'm a bit late with this; only listened to my recording properly for the first time today and started editing it. It's not perfect, it has flaws, but hopefully will be not too shabby when it's finished. Unsure when it will be ready but here's a quick blast, see what you think ......

No Perfect Prescription!

However Forged Prescriptions is up there and most of the rest.

Stolen Music indeed...

Wow - just wow

Woah - that's actually seriously impressive - the production is all over the place -

Baby, Why Did You Leave Me...

I can hear samples of 'Electric Mainline', Prince - 'Come', and 'One More Time' by Daft Punk & Romanthony just after 3:00

Dreadful news really - he was some guy, this is a true loss. The music he created and assisted with the creation of speaks for itself. There’s a lot of it, but little appears on streaming sites. Those incredible epic sets he played regularly... The ALFOS nights also sounded unreal. Gutted I never ma...

Incredible - much thanks to Simon K for this.

It’s like Leonard Cohen singing with the Spiritualized live band.

Swans - It's real, it's coming

Thank you. I will give it a listen!

Yes, thank you, that was a great read. Mark seems like such a humble guy - this makes me want to check Slipstream out as I've never really heard them... I believe Veiko sent me a comp of their stuff years ago which will be in a box somewhere. Liked the bit about Johnny Marr really liking Pure Phase :D

WTF??? So bizarre. I was literally thinking about this gig and recording this morning. :shock: I've been adding a heap of music to my phone and have this - I just added the track details, haven't touched it at all otherwise. If I remember rightly this was orginally meant to be at the Carling Academy...

I like this one from the recent US tour...

I like the what they've done live with The Morning After. The little break-down part in the middle. I remember that part standing out when I saw them back in April. Very nice to have a crisp recording that captures it well. That killed me in Glasgow! The energy in the Old Fruitmarket was enormous a...

I listened to this from start to finish last night after a really tough week in all senses and it blew me the fuck away. I've never heard anything quite like it - I don't think I even heard a single guitar on there - its like the ambient/gospel end of Spiritualized at times and it's extraordinarily ...

thanks for posting this. I must admit to skipping right past the songs I've heard a million times (do I urgently need another version of Soul On Fire at this stage? not really) to go straight to the And Nothing Hurt songs Sail In Through is fabulous.. already one of my faves but this extended versi...

Here It Comes

Worked fine for me

Dropbox link incoming...

Fantastic news...

That set list!!!

Due to a week of ecstatic highs, crushing lows and ecstatic highs again I've been searching for my mainline - and found the VU's White Light/White Heat the most go to record of recent times. It's such a brutal recording - no mixing involved really - that this came out in 1968 is incredible really, g...

Yeah, he's saying over £3k now. Ridiculous. [My emboldened text] ... a desperate money grab. My emboldened text. There's no way there's gonna be some lost gold/holy grail recording stashed away in a box of tapes degrading in decades in a shitty cassette box. Particularly from the bootlegs he sold b...

Unlikely I'll make this - however a tour would be a great idea. Maybe they should play Edinburgh Queen's Hall on a Saturday night?

so believe it or not, it's now been 10 months since And Nothing Hurt came out. we are not far off a year since it's release.. and no proper UK tour, no further videos or anything. anyone think it's been weirdly low key? I kinda wish they had done an extensive UK tour. However I remain eternally gla...

Not quite a release, more like a fine (?) vintage... the story of how this was a thing and ended up in my pal's cupboard years later is epic in itself. 8) https://res.cloudinary.com/did9zg5cp/image/upload/c_scale,w_593/v1563378203/SpzVintage2_pnuofl.jpg https://res.cloudinary.com/did9zg5cp/image/upl...

Ridiculous.

That sleeve - like the live album - remains a beautiful piece of art. I wonder what went down?

I really like that- total Balearic vibes.

Interesting band in the sense I've never really gotten into them, yet I've been reading glowing reports about their music for decades now. Where would you start? The thread here is somewhat inconclusive. Any particular album or compilation that would be recommended? They are a band of several phase...

Aw man, it was immense!

I saw the Primal Scream at Metronome Festival in Prague on Saturday. They were bloody awful. Ha! It was a warm & beautiful night, they played a greatest hits set which included 'Miss Lucifer' and 'Velocity Girl' and had a really chilled out crowd. Never seen them as a basic 5 piece band before a...

Bad week indeed.

Another example of his amazing piano playing as a 'mere' session musician is on 'Let it Loose' by the Stones.

That's simply all kinds of epic & beautiful.

May the circle remain unbroken...

Thanks all who took the time to respond here - sounds like it was a great night Simon.

Also, always glad to see the eternally clueless (and incredibly, pointlessly rude) spacemanrich take some heat.

I'm still on a massive high after that show. Just beyond... It was a beautiful evening in Glasgow, so great to catch up with old pals and meet some new ones too. For those I was going to catch up with - Laz, Mojo - apologies but next time! The show itself just reminded me of someone once said here -...

My Soul Has Been Spiritualized...

Again.

What a fucking night.

Hey QUINCY, what a fantastic and erudite post that was.

I approved this message just to let me and "the other morons who stick around here" give you some stick back.

Enjoy...

This long awaited Scottish gig gets closer now.

Looking very much forward to it, not least for catching up with old pals.

FatahRuark - many, many thanks for posting the above recording. Absolutely blinding. In a day of moving accommodation this is a welcome reprieve. An incredible and dynamic recording - the version of 'Shine a light' here may well be the definitive version - it's absolutely perfect. So far up to 'She ...

just wanna say I am enjoying all the reports from across the pond about the Spiritualized shows. great to see reactions, pictures etc. makes me chomp at the bit even more for the UK tour announcement... c'mon guys!! Me too. I love reading the stories around these gigs, and how the band are setting ...

This sounds like an interesting compilation - I have the SL/SH promo version somewhere but have never heard the BBC session of 'Mary'.

I say somewhere as currently in the middle of a house move... will get back to this.

...mercilessly re-releasing some of the greatest music in the universe without even the slightest care and attention towards audio fidelity, and worse still, ensuring the artists responsible are fucked over at every level.

To repeat other comments: beautifully written. In fact one of the best posts I've ever read on here.

Very glad you made the show! That must have been something else...

Bad news indeed...

I had no idea that the mighty Royal Trux had actually recently released a new album! Where have I been? It's sounding great, beautifully broken and distorted (in every real sense) variations on pop melodies. Kool Keith appears halfway and it doesn't sound strange at all in the Trux universe. They st...

Bloody hell.

That's horrible news indeed.

I really enjoyed reading this - thanks John! Like the best of reflective music criticism, it immediately made me want to listen to this record again. Frustratingly, Spotify has absolutely no Spacemen 3 material other than 'Lord can you hear me', and only due to MGMT including it on a compilation. Th...
