it's not that good, but there's boobies in the gatefold.

"most of Leigh Stephens post Blue Cheer bands didn't too much for me, but the solo albums rule..."

i dig the silver metre album. pilot were horrible. but, yeah, red weather is godhead. one of my fave albums ever. the one after that that i had the reissue of i never dug as much.

got sublime frequencies vinyl of group doueh - guitar music from the western sahara. digging it. got new prurient too. haven't played that yet.

― scott seward (121212), Friday, 16 February 2007 19:53 (seventeen years ago) link

dave's got it...some people called that a sell-out, maybe because it has the least amoung of lo-fi wanking on it? Strangers of the Universe is classic. I am also partial to the Admonishing the Bishops ep, and although it's all over the map, Wormed By Leonard includes most of their earlier stuff including such essentials as Hell Rules, Leaky Bag and the greatest song ever written, Narlus Spectre.

do i need that white magic album on drag city? the last one? the cover of the vinyl version is so pretty.

― scott seward (121212), Friday, 16 February 2007 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I heard good things but it didn't move me. I should probably go back and listen again.

someone brought in all their spectrum/ear stuff to the record store and even though i KNOW i don't need any of it, i kinda want to get all the EAR stuff. i only have the one double album with the owsley song on it. which i dig a bunch. they have 4 0r 5 of the ear releases used. including an ep that i actually sold on ebay a long time ago. they might actually be better to have on cd anyway cuz i could just lie around and drift on, um, memory bliss or something. don't think i need the spectrum stuff they had there. jessamine split. silver apples split. i already have soul glide divine ??? whatever it's called. i love that album. i even own a gel-pack copy! i still need a copy of first spectrum album. i stupidly sold my perfect vinyl copy like a stupid person. my other fave spectrum is the sympathy for the record industry comp. i love that thing. what can i say, i dig sonic boom. have no time for jason snoozeman though. come to think of it, that double album with owsley on it might be a spectrum release. who can remember?

hey dan what did you think of Lindstrom

I think I saw you while I was at the bar but you were on yer way out the door

― dmr (dmr), Friday, 16 February 2007 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, Forever Alien is a Spectrum record. Unique in Boom's discog. All the EAR wierdo vinyl releases are worth tracking down, like the "Death of A Robot" 9" and the ausgang-covered picture discs.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 16 February 2007 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

the EAR ep that i sold was SUPER heavy. and sharp! you could have cut someone's head off with that album. cool op art sleeve/cover too. and i liked it too, i'm just thinking that long-ass ambient driftage makes more sense to me these days on cd.

this prurient album is just what the doctor ordered. straight up noiseage. exactly what i wanted to hear.

― scott seward (121212), Friday, 16 February 2007 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

x-post to skotttttttt

hmmm, didnt know about the sublime freq. record, scott.

im a bit biased, but im really digging the white magic record. i'm sure most people would say its inessential, but i really like what mira does with rhythms and the serpentining of melodies. all in all it gets a bit samey, but im never one to really see that asa bad thing (esp with certain bands) didnt see it on vinyl...have to get that and ghost...packaging is great, but cd sized makes a mockery of it.

― bb (bbia), Friday, 16 February 2007 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost - do i need that white magic album on drag city? the last one?

it's pretty good, but not AMAZING. that's actually pretty good praise coming from someone who pretty much dispises indie rock. kinda like a more put together, less crazy, more goth, band approach to Cat Power.

i really liked the first EP they put out with the fantabulous cover of Nina Simone's "Plain Gold Ring". that record had more of a joni mitchell vibe.

Skot do you have the Sonic Boom solo album vinyl with the GIMMIX cover?? i love that swirl ... goes so well with the music

I was watching The Vault on VH1 and that dance-pop Spacemen 3 vid came on and it totally hypnotized me and my 5 year old.

"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 (121212), Friday, 16 February 2007 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

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

― Nu-Edward III (edward iii), Friday, 16 February 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

okay, i checked out boom's website, the stuff they have at the store is: Mesmerized, Beyond The pale, Phenomena 256, Vibrations (THAT'S the one i sold on ebay that was so heavy), and there was something else there too, but i don't see it on the website. i'll probably pick them up eventually. no hurry.

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.

― dan selzer (dan selzer), Friday, 16 February 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

this is the one i still need:

is this the one you meant, stormy?

god, i found a perfect copy for like 2 bucks a zillion years ago and i don't know why i ever sold it cuz i never saw another one.

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.

"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."

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.
