Also, are they sampling Can on that track?

OTM
My favourite Scream album, and really, a minimal amount of filler. Perhaps 'Medication' is the weakest track, given that it's just a rehash of 'Rocks'. 'Star' isn't my favourite track by a long shot, but it's not shit. Haven't heard Echo Dek, due to it being a highly-priced import, but I guess with the internet I could have a stab at finding it cheap.
Any one know if this works: Assuming the Wizard of Oz/Pink Floyd thing works, what other combos would you try? ?

I love this album, but I don't have a problem with Gillespie, obviously. I wonder if people think it's one of their best because he seems to have the least involvement with it.
If They Move, Kill 'Em is amazing, but the Shields remix on XTRMNTR is even better.
― pwdre ser (Welsh for rot of the stars) (kate), Tuesday, 30 May 2006 14:16 (seventeen years ago) link
'medication' is utter shit, but it's the only properly bad track on the album. 'star' is probably gillespie's lyrical nadir, and i've never been able to get behind it, but ech, i can just about ignore him.
the filler tracks are 'get duffy' and the interminable 'trainspotting'. they are what they are. the main problem i always had with 'trainspotting' was it was 18 months old when the lp came out.

I heard some of the new album in a shop earlier on. I am sorry to report that I liked it. There were some twats doing football tricks in Virgin for some kind of publicity stunt, so suddenly weedy songs about junkies seemed like a good idea.

― bham (bham), Monday, 5 June 2006 13:29 (seventeen years ago) link
I like Vanishing Point, but I guess I don't really want to listen to it, though I listened to Trainspotting the other week. I still love Screamadelica.
I've just fought my way through the latest album. I find it such a pity, because they'd so much like to be a great rock band, and I'd like to hear a great rock album, but they just don't seem to be able to make one. I'm afraid this might just about be their worst record.

Funnily enough, it's just struck me as odd that the other thing I bought today was the Stones' Sympathy for the Devil film, which has just been released on DVD. I saw this when at University and it's basically just about 12 different versions of Sympathy for the Devil, so just like Screamdelica then... -- KeefW (m...), June 5th, 2006.

Why'd you say that? I rate it higher than Screamadelica and XTRMNTR.

CLASSIC!!!
It's tough for me to choose between this album and XTRMNTR, but some days I think this is the superior record.
I love both far, far more than Screamadelica too, which I don't think has actually aged all that well.

Agreed, two great albums, agreed, never able to get into Screamadelica. Evil Heat has some really good shit on it, too ('The Lord Is My Shotgun' is a super hot track).
― Our Meals Are Hot And Fresh! (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 30 August 2016 12:52 (seven years ago) link
Oh, yeah, Echo Dek was good, too!
My first exposure was seeing 'Rocks Off' on 120 Minutes and wondering, who are these clowns? I kinda couldn't believe it was the same band when I heard the Trainspotting soundtrack.

No idea, I remember he worked on XTRMNTR and Paul Weller's Heliocentric, both of which came out in 2000, and then I can't bring to mind anything that he's done after that, which is a huge shame because I really liked his production style.

The band were pretty great sounding live around 97 and for the next couple of years. A really dub like sound in the mix.I still find Bobby's voice really thin. But still hoping for more live sets from that era to appear.
I was surprised to read Alan McGee saying that he thought Bobby was a natural singer in the Creation Stories book. Never thought of it as a very strong point for him.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 1 September 2016 13:33 (seven years ago) link
He's a fucking awful singer. Good frontman / figurehead / focus of attention, I guess. But thin, reedy, asthmatic singer.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 1 September 2016 13:48 (seven years ago) link
I don't think he's anywhere near a good singer either, but then I don't listen to Primal Scream for the singing.
― the hair - it's lost its energy (Turrican), Thursday, 1 September 2016 18:16 (seven years ago) link
as long as Gillespie sticks to his role of looking cool and occasionally yelping things he's fine but as a singer qua singer yeah his voice is p weak and who listens to these records for the singing
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 1 September 2016 18:21 (seven years ago) link

That McGee should be praising Gillespie in any way, no matter how WTF, shouldn't really come as any huge shock... those guys have been great friends for decades.
