Uptown? That was great, yeahNice. I don't think I've ever heard that album you mean.Loving the idea of someone who’s quite into Primal Scream but just happened to miss that album.(dorsalstop is eliding the production contributions of Jimmy Miller, Hypnotone and The Orb for comedic effect)

couple of years ago i filled in a few holes in my NO cd catalogue, but not this one or 'waiting .. '.today, at last, i found 'get ready' for a coin.why on earth did i not bother picking it up for years, it's bloody great.

of course. best no album of the 00s which isn't very difficult, actually.

I love Get Ready but if push came to shove, I'd prob rank it last of their three post-reunion albums (not counting Lost Sirens obv)

My position exactly. Music Complete's excellence caused me to rethink its two predecessors.

"Academic" does the let's-hold-a-guitar-groove-for-32-minutes NO thing so well.

60 Miles An Hour and Rock The Shack stop this being truly great, but I still like it a good amount. A step down from Republic but a step up from Sirens.

I'd recommend searching out the pre-mix / pre-release version of the album that includes some b-sides, and a better version of Crystal. There are a handful of incredible songs on Get Ready, but my all time favs from Get Ready are Primitive Notion and Vicious Streak.

sounds great, but i am not going to find that in poundland though am i ? oh, and as for the comment re the cover art upthread : huh !!? i love the cover.in fact i don't think that NO have ever had a bad album cover.and that includes the myriad of compilations.

one thing that did surprise me is the breakdown re the credits.there is a lot of studio personel involved as opposed to just one crew.surprising given that after the few listens, i think that the album has a very consistent sound.

Love the cover. Love Vicious Streak. Where can I find these rough mixes?

Thanks for the link but I think the files expired :(

Found it on slsk last night -- looks like both the original leak and Power of Independent Trucking's mastered version are out there, as well as a companion disc of demos/early mixes.
