"hmmm, didnt know about the sublime freq. record, scott."
it's good! deranged guitar music and such. some of it sounds like it was recorded on a walkie talkie or something. you know the drill. great sounds though.

-- scott seward (skotro...), February 16th, 2007. (121212)

heard more good things about this via email this afternoon, so i went ahead and got one!

dave- re: Lindstrom, I enjoyed it suitable, did some dancing, had some fun, and any enjoyment I had was wiped away by an hour on the coat check line, making me wonder if it's worth digging out the car for the Rapture thing tonight hosted by Viva Radio and others that somebody really should have invited me to DJ at but hey, I don't hold grudges, I just don't want to spend another 2 hours in the coat check line. I'm going write some people about that. It's not just something they have to deal with, I've been to larger venues with more people and less problems with coat checking.

Haha, I looked it up, that Spacemen 3 song is called "Hypnotized". Sonic Boom in full-on "Dream Baby Dream" mode.

Naw, that's a Jason song. You're thinking of "Big City."

recurring is my fave spaceman album. that and prefect prescription. i never listened to anything by them half as much as those two. and as far as spiritualized goes, i only really liked the first album.

― scott seward (121212), Friday, 16 February 2007 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't know if the arica album is on cd, but it's definitely recommended for pot smoking hippie cult improv fans. they were actually known as the *Arica Rhythm and Movement Band*. album was on Just Sunshine Records.

yeah scott that's the one .. Spectrum was the name of the album but credited to Sonic Boom. had a Led Zep III style disc on the cover that you could swirl around. plus awesome sounds inside!

I have the original cassette release of The Perfect Prescription and it has the album on one side and OD Catastrophe / Rollercoaster / Starship on the other. It's almost 20 years old and been played so much it's a miracle it hasn't disintegrated into oxide dust. I should get Recurring, I missed it when it came out.

Dreamweapon's good too.

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Friday, 16 February 2007 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

There's a good story about the first shipment of the Soul Kiss vinyl getting damaged in transit and leaking goo over all the other records realesed at the same time and ruining some other band's chances at a #1 single.

this was the best copy i ever owned. it SOUNDED the best. and i lost my tape and all the subsequent taang/whatever CDs have sounded horrible in comparison.

btw thermals i love you and i dont care who knows

― 69 (pete), Monday, 19 February 2007 18:14 (seventeen years ago) link

it's pretty aggressive, on first listen I was way into the music but some of the lyrics seemed a little bit calculatedly over-the-top (eg I GOT THE NO PUSSY BLUES as a chorus)

too early for true verdict, I don't think I made it to the end of the record yet
