Sitting through the very annoying Zane Lowe show just to hear one song really sucks.

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
to be fair it's been ok, though I can't listen to Zane Lowe's voice without being reminded of that Adam and Joe parody of him.
Public Enemy sounded really great coming out of the radio, wasn't expecting that at all.

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
Don't the BBC have a Player system thingy online where you can listen to the show after it's happened? The songs gona be played on BBC6 a lot, surely one the shows playing the song will be archived.
At least you can fast forward straight to the song rather than sit through all this mehness.

Yeah, think it's a week they stay up for. Then because we're sitting listening to this we can tell exactly where in the Zane show from Monday they played the song.LUFC_SPACEMAN wrote:oh yeh forgot bout that, can you listen to the show for a week or something.

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
that was good fun. kinda like what LICD should have been. i like LICD but the fusion of sounds, and i don't mean this to sound as if i felt it was 'dated' or a retread, was was much more natural (vague i know but bloody hell it's not right going further or even this bloody far after one listen, i guess i'm excited, though it was fun). the waling on thin ice remake is in there too, to bring more doubts about the freshness of it perhaps. it was fun though. yea, it's too far gone for even remembering too much now cause cee lo is screaming out... yeah.
the best way to describe it: it was worth waiting through the 30-odd minutes of zane lowe for.

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
I heard the soul on fire song on the Spz acoustic mainlines show in boston, its probably the 'catchiest' song theyve ever put out. Do ye think its gonna get loads of normal daytime radio play? It'l probably be the highest chart position for a spz song. Or is the guitar/horn squall too radio unfriendly? God i want to hear it

I think that this link should let you listen to the show again - the song starts about 1 hour 5/10mins in (I think)

I can't deal with 'Howling Mad' Lowe but I was more than pleasantly surpised when I heard it on Tom Robinson's show halfway through making dinner after a long monday... sounded great to hear the singers like the AM gigs. Big fuck off chorus too!
He played Miles' 'Black Satin' a bit later, then some Lee Hazlewood...great selection!

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
Once again they have shocked me. I had a very clear idea about how that song would sound recorded but it was not at all how I expected it to be. This song has all the emotional glory of the older Spiritualized recordings but with the dryness of AG. I am very impressed.. Now I'm really ready for the new record.

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
Firstly, thanks Jebus Sabes for providing this.Jebus Sabes wrote:Edit - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=951G9OFK

Secondly this is the bravest 4mins of music I've heard from JP/SPZ. It sounds like so many other songs that have touched on something but never quite made it; sunray you mentioned a terrace anthem in an Oasis style, I now say Train' - "Drops of Jupiter". There's also a hint of "Church on Sunday, Work on Monday" in the delivery of the opening verse. Can anyone help out as to who recently (last 10years) sang these words?
Anyway, all in all it's instant and yes it may not be everlasting, it may disapear as quickly as it comes in but for just that moment and for those 4mins, c'mon.
Friends, this must become number 1 if for no other reason than the Charts, our Charts are reclaimed.
Purely from the tone i've come to see again that this song is about redemption it's about saving another by offering your all very much in the vein of Hold On. Our world needs this music more than anything else it has at its current disposal.
Who'll join me in putting these words and sentiments firmly where I believe they should be?
If you usually buy 1 copy of the single buy 2 or buy as many as you see fit...if you download do it legally (i.e. so that it's recorded by whoever records the chart sales)...don't you see it's as much about offering thanks for this music as about spreading the word.
Great wonderful stuff.
Shoulders back, smash it
Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
as tempting as that megaupload link is....i'm not listening!
gonna wait for the album instead
interesting comments from people though. did anyone *dislike* it?

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
Stunning and absolutely gorgeous song.
I've hammered it to death already in the last few hours and it's making the hairs on my neck stand on end. Hands in the air, life-affirming music.
I haven't been this excited about a Spiritualized release in a long time. I feel like a teenager again!
Elektronik matey, I love your passion for this song and I share it. I'll be buying two copies of it - and giving the other to someone special - who I think about while the song plays.

Fair enough. It was more something I picked up on in the sweeping strings. Permit me to pick a verse and part of the chorus/bridgejesus son wrote: Drops of Jupiter always sounds like a Ronan Keating song to me
In all honesty I've never myself taken the time to explore the lyrics of that song until today. Still not entirely sure what it's all about...I've got a feeling it's an attempted suicide or something.Drops of Jupiter wrote: Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
If only we'd all accept what's in our hearts and stop searching barren paths*

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
I stuck it on repeat when I went to bed and it was on all night. I think it's genius. The first great pop song I've heard in a very, very long time, perhaps even decades. That in itself makes it subversive...

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
Heard the single a couple of times now and it was not for me.. i will always love spiritualized and the first three albums and of course spacemen 3, and even though i´m not into jasons new stuff, i still consider him one of the greatest musicians/composers out there, but his sound these days is just to clean cut and radio ready for my taste... and i actually agree with sunray who compared it to an oasis (..the horror) type kind of sing along song.. still gonna check out the album out though and death take your fiddle is one hell of a song... but for now i guess i´ll just put on a great spacemen 3 song i re-discovered-We Sell Soul...fuck that´s a great track...
Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
I duno what it is about this track...I've played it over and over and I can't stop smiling, you know? I think this song sums up that little '+' at the end of the name....
It feels so upbeat and happy. When it was played on the acoustic mainlines tour you kinda knew it would be a big tune but I didn't expect it to be THIS big.
Well done J Spaceman!! Roll out the album....NNNOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
wow, could you people make it any more tempting for me to cave in and listen to the song?
because apparently if it's a cover it can't be one of their greatest tracks.
yes indeed. but is it a 'cover' or a 'heavily influenced' track? that's the question.dropout digital1 wrote:but for now i guess i´ll just put on a great spacemen 3 song i re-discovered-We Sell Soul...fuck that´s a great track...

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
I've loved this song since I first heard it on one of the recordings of the Acoustic Mainlines tour. I loved it even more when I got to experience it live at the Toronto show. And now? Good God, what a great track! When I first heard it, I though that it had great potential to be a hit. I never seem to get that right, nor do I care about hits at all, but if there is any justice in the world of music today, this song will be massive. It's gorgeous and epic like everyone says and best of all, it's Jason doing pop Spiritualized-style and daring the masses to hear it his way, not the other way 'round. And my two-year old loves it! He sings along to the chorus with me so that's gotta be another sign. Of course, he also requests The Flaming Lips, The Jesus And Mary Chain and Mouse On Mars so maybe he's not the best indicator of hits potential ...
Any chance of getting the song streaming on the official site before mp3 conversions of low-bitrate webstream captures become the way most people hear it for the first time?...
Peace.

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
I didn´t say "greatest" i said "great", and a track can be great, even if it´s heavily influenced or a cover, spiritualized have already made many tracks like that. But your comment is only valid if i said "greatest" and i didn´t, so why even comment.moop wrote:wow, could you people make it any more tempting for me to cave in and listen to the song?

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
yuck. those strings are way too much - to me they render the chorus embarrassing. i thought i was listening to an ashcroft solo record. very bland. i do like the electric guitar bits.
in all fairness i never liked that song on the acoustic mainlines tapes either so i'm not surprised.

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
LOL I guess you can't please everyone. I love it. I'm such a sucker for Spiritualized, there's such a long gap between records you kinda drift into other sounds, then the new record comes out and your right back in there.
As ever this track is familiar and new in equal measures, which is probably why I still keep coming back to Spiritualized, like going back to your mom's house at Christmas LOL
Roll on the Cambridge and London gigs...

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
That song...its just sounds like victory! Simple as. I can imagine playing that after a heavy night and feeling the pain dissolve to nothing which of course is exactly what it should do.
Forget Oa*is...that's what they think they sound like. Its more like The Blue Album by way of Phil Spector and Sam Cooke...that big, that good, that powerful.
'Mon the Spiritualized+!
Now where's 'Baby...?'
Pity the fools who texted/emailed Tom Robinson to say "Jason's lost it" - wow, i've never heard that line before and certainly not before every fucking new album release ever!
But again, awesome to hear that last night, the full-on buzzing thing listening to it, spring is here again, amen

Thanks jesus_sabes for the radio rip.
just listened for the first time. On the train, with the sun rising over the pacific ocean to my right. I don't think I could have picked a better time if I had tried. Can't wait for the album.
Curious to know what the dj was about to recommend at the end?

Just found a complete and slightly less-compressed rip from the same radio show here:

Thanks vindaloo and jebus-sabes...
I absolutely love this track. I hope it gets on the radio here in southern California, 'Do It All Over Again' got a few plays back in 2001-2002 but that's all I ever heard
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, maybe it's too obvious, but the line 'Freedom is just another word when you've no-one left to hurt' seems to be an homage to 'Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose' from 'Me and Bobby McGhee' as written by Kris Kristofferson and made famous by Janis Joplin... the latest clever lyrical reference from Mr. Spaceman

i'd just like to say thanks to Sunny for introducing me to the music of Spiritualized, and that i thought this was a great way of bringing separate elements ( strings, choir , electric guitar , melancholy vocals, emotional lyrics ) all together . i agree with Sunny that this is great

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
I do love this song but, I think its impact has been slightly reduced by the fact Ive heard it so many times on bootlegs and at gigs (not in this form but still the same structure). It got me thinking last night. I got worried when I heard it on he radio that maybe I wasnt going to enjoy the new album as much as I'd hoped. Then it dawned on me that I just wanted that hit of new Spiritualized. something i've never heard before. I cant wait for those gigs in May. Baby i'm just a fool electric (i know what ive just written above is a total contradiction but you know what I mean), then wait a week and its the new album.

Best single since "Let It Flow"!
I was actually afraid of hearing this cos the acoustic version was pretty damn close to perfection, but holy crap, this is good.

Haha, so you're past that 'just sounds like fridge noise' (referring to PP) stage then? 'Introducing'... more like brain washing I'd say.

Hmm...I want to like it but I glance at my beloved copies of Pure Phase & Laser Guided and wish Jason would produce music in that vein again but as an artist that would be taking a step backwards wouldn't it?
As a previous poster put maybe this is Jason taking on pop music on his own terms and if that's the case i'll come along for the ride.
I always thought I would buy Spiritualized albums and I did until amazing grace I ran away from that album as fast as I could it sounded thin & tired and I was not in the mood to hear another version of "electricity" (she kissed me) and I still do not own Amazing grace and this sounds better than anything I heard on Amazing Grace so i'm glad for that.
I sincerely hope this song and this album is huge for Jason, God knows the man has paid his dues.
The world would be a better place if we all got Spiritualized.

I must admit I have been driving around listening to LICD and AG and am pleasantly surprised how much I like AG. I didn't get into it all when the record came out. But I am now.

Surely makes that song...the double pause...then the crescendo of rocket guitar filtering in and then BANG!ThiefofFire wrote: ...'Freedom is just another word when you've no-one left to hurt' ...
I see all of the motifs that have been present in every album in this song; strings, orchestration, other wordly guitar/horns and in the words there are the drug references (although the drug this time is not a self-damaging one), the highs, the hold on's, the trying's etc etc.canucklhead07 wrote:Hmm...I want to like it but I glance at my beloved copies of Pure Phase & Laser Guided and wish Jason would produce music in that vein again but as an artist that would be taking a step backwards wouldn't it?
I mentioned earlier that this song was brave and it's brave because it must have been difficult to leave it alone. It's simplistic in words and tone and therefore instantly recogniseable in emotion.
It's similar to every other song in the sense it comprises a journey towards something; all those paths and all those downwards spirals but knowing no matter how far you fall an outsretched hand will come to rescue you. It's as much about telling someone you're going to be there as it is about being reborn. "Never should say never"
It's colossal and it could've been cut after about 3mins but they go again for another chorus.
Listen to Zane Lowe...listen to him about 3:40 into the song where he's searching for adjectives...he knows it...do you hear him say "Oooftt!!!" when the final "I've got a hurricane inside my veins and a wanna stay forever"...listen. Exactly! He's just realised it for a split second he's just got it. Hat off to him but forget the adjectives.
To me that song is a little angel on your shoulder.
Shoulders back, smash it

He didn't recommend any other bands (as I don't think Spz are really his bag) he just waffled on about "there's loads of stuff online to check out".cockachumpee wrote:

Re: Radio play tonight, March 17th
after hearing the beautiful version live and the bootlegs i feel a bit underwealmed to be honest. lyrically its beautiful but in places there is the feel of too much as opposed to the sparesness of the live version (btw i love amazing grace)
'raging and weeping are left on the early road
now each in his holy hill
the glittering and hurting days are alomst done
then let us compare mythologies
i have learned my elaborate lie
of soaring crosses and poisened thorns'

Hi
that's my band actually...we've been playing this live for the last 6 months. have been dying to hear the studio version, which I think is mint.
if anyone's listened to our version hope you liked it, imperfect as it is.
