Worm Tamer

ooh the spice must flow eh

four Marxes plus four Obamas plus four Bin Ladens (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 15:40 (eleven years ago) link

saw the cover of this half an hour ago, just stopped laughing

Blame Momus.

re Disc: 2

1. Nothing Is Real / Nothing Is Unreal << great 5 minute krautrock + horns groove song. love it.

2. Requiem For The Russian Tea Rooms << instrumental. sounds like a dark descendant of roy budd. good stuff.

3. Running Out Of Time << more honking sax, lone bass groove + hard left placed echoed vocals .. before flute action and wah wah guitars join in. brilliant.

4. Worm Tamer << nick cave cover. vocals placed on the left side again (same session as previous track ?). slide guitar loop. 5 minutes of layered sonics, harmonica, before kicking in with some fantastically ott guitar noise.

5. Theme From More Light << more slide guitar and atmospherics, more in line with a ry cooder soundtrack. a throwaway couple of minutes, but adds nicely to the flow of this extra disc (i.e. its not just a chunk of disconnected remixes)

6. 2013 (Weatherall Remix) << over 8 minutes of sci-fi kraut-dub excess. the thin drums + deep bass with the tremolo'd vocals before the momentary widescreen production synth/guitar kicks in at 3 minutes. more sax @ 6 minutes. overall the track is a spooked out, lo-fi variation, giving it a pre-virgin era cabaret voltaire feel. really good.

overall : really glad i picked up the 2cd edition.

is the first disc any good though? :D

¬╡▫ ▫╞⌠ (sic), Thursday, 23 May 2013 14:33 (eleven years ago) link

hah .. well, i think there are enough reviews out there re the album to figure out whether this is something worth spending your hard-earned cash on. personally i this its rather good.
so far, highlight for me is the swamped out psych fug of 'river of pain'.
cant wait to hear this on my home system.

mark e, Thursday, 23 May 2013 14:38 (eleven years ago) link

ok.

a few listens in.

this album hits the same sonic spot as the last david holmes 'solo' album, the holy pictures, (if you haven't got it, then do .. its not 'david holmes does dance music' at all) and andrew w's recent collaboration, the asphodells, but is a lot more satisfying than both of those efforts.

this is another album on which the so called established folks involved feel to have genuinely made an effort for their 2013 effort.

see also : bowie, daft punk, qotsa, suede, omd

summary : 2013 = good year.

mark e, Thursday, 23 May 2013 19:57 (eleven years ago) link

That's been the most pleasant surprise this year - bands who I thought were pretty much done suddenly bouncing back. Human After All, Beautiful Future and Era Vulgaris were all such crashing disappointments but here we are.

Deafening silence (DL), Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:06 (eleven years ago) link

exactly my point DL ..

2013 is the year that people who needed to, raised their game ..

mark e, Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:08 (eleven years ago) link

two weeks pass...

stream. the first two songs are pretty great. the first one more in the party vein of screamadelica, the second one a psychedelic ballad kind of thing.

it's the distortion, stupid! (alex in mainhattan), Friday, 14 June 2013 04:50 (ten years ago) link

ok, so about a month ago i made a promise that i broke, which was to listen to XTRMNTR for the first time and report back within the day. i've finally listened to it and it is everything the people on this board said it would be... i love the heaviness and the noisiness which never take away from the catchiness. way better than screamadelica, which is still good, but i can see myself loving this album in a way i do not love screamadelica

Treeship, Friday, 14 June 2013 05:07 (ten years ago) link

Just got around to listening to More Light... fucking hell, this is actually good!

Turn Each Other Inside Out is amazing.

they all are afflicted with a sickness of existence (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 20 June 2013 10:37 (ten years ago) link

Listened to this a few times a while back, it's an astonishingly produced record, Holmes and Shields have done a great job in rescuing it, but the songs and hooks are really piss-poor, which prevents it from reaching XTRMTR territory let alone Screamadelica level.

nice janitors on the Death Star look they're sporting. Bobby's wacky collar-buttons show he's in charge. No-one else gets the collar-buttons.

Bee OK, Wednesday, 9 October 2013 02:40 (ten years ago) link

getting ready to go tonight, have only heard one song from the new album. still should be fun.

Bee OK, Sunday, 13 October 2013 21:47 (ten years ago) link

i had the time of my life last night. Primal Scream did not disappoint and see them if they come to your town. it was one of those type of shows were you are so happy to be alive. show started off a bit slow but they really started to groove and so did the audience. i danced my ass off and to songs like "Rocks" which was pretty surprising.

I think 2013 is the SINGLE OF THE YEAR.

I like the album too, but I've got a bit bored of it, apart from 2013.

I like DISC 2.

Thank you.

PJ Miller, Wednesday, 27 November 2013 12:28 (ten years ago) link

I have no idea what's been a single this year and what hasn't, but I do love 2013, and about three other tracks on this record, and have enjoyed the whole thing considerable more than I thought I would. Turn Each Other Inside Out is my favourite.

I can still taste the Taboo in my mouth when I hear those songs (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 27 November 2013 13:22 (ten years ago) link

bummer

Barry Gordy (Neil S), Thursday, 11 September 2014 09:45 (nine years ago) link

My assumption was that he had a massive drug problem (and by Primal Scream standards) which lead to the sabbatical, so I guess this isn't that surprising. Which kind of makes it sadder.
