vocals no worse than old Renegade Soundwave really (remind me of them + Terry Hall at times)

I like Walk of Shame. TBH, I generally like the album. None of it stands out, but as a sound I like it. Pleasant and a different take on the post-punk sound which is no mean feat considering how much it's been rinsed this decade.

"none of it stands out" = stock weatherall critique post-"stay down"
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 9 November 2009 23:11 (fourteen years ago) link
i think it's a fair critique btw
...and most of it I didn't like either. Personally I thought till this one after the Fifth Mission it went downhill for Weatherall (albeit with a few nice house records along the way).
This one grabbed me differently, and as for stuff not standing out I wouldn't say that's always a valid criticism. Would you criticise Gas or Young Marble Giants for it? It all sounds similar but it's a good similar.

Fifth Mission is stunning. So many styles. I've bought it 3 times.

For archeologists excavating this thread: Weatherall is in part responsible for the Fuck Buttons Tarot Sport, which is in my top 10 of the past 5 years.

Weatherall produced the penultimate track on Warpaint's debut, too.
― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 31 December 2010 06:06 (thirteen years ago) link
My copy of The Fool has him down as mixing Undertow and Baby.
I really like the dub mixes he's just done of Steve Mason's Boys Outside - reminds me of Sabres of Paradise mixes circa 94.

I posted that from the iPhone while still in bed, so bow to your actual fact checking there!
I've not heard the Boys Outside dub mixes, but I love that album so will have to seek it out. Is it on CD anywhere or am I gonna have to scour the internetz?
― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 31 December 2010 10:10 (thirteen years ago) link
There are two mixes on the Boys Outside single, Nick - on iTunes and (presumably) CD.
With his various mixes and productions this year and his DJ set at the Screamadelica shows, I've enjoyed being reminded how much I love Weatherall. I used to be a total stan, buying every one of his early 90s remixes on vinyl.

Anyone else listened to his Asphodells project's new record yet? Cosmic/Balearic disco stuff, sounding pretty good on first listen.
― Neil S, Monday, 4 February 2013 13:59 (eleven years ago) link
I haven't heard it yet but if it's Love From Outer Space-type stuff it'll be amazing.
― Matt DC, Monday, 4 February 2013 14:17 (eleven years ago) link
posted when I'd heard the first track, some of the later tracks feature vocals and are more in a post-punk vein, they remind me a bit of that Harvey Locussollus record.
― Neil S, Monday, 4 February 2013 14:20 (eleven years ago) link
In fact some melodica work is making it sound a lot like Power Corruption & Lies-era New Order, a good thing in my book.
― Neil S, Monday, 4 February 2013 14:39 (eleven years ago) link
that sounds pretty good, if it's more like Locussolus and less like the post-punky Two Lone Swordsmen record (From the Double Gone Chapel), I liked that one at first and then it wore off ...

this is really good in places, but a bit guilty of being exactly as you'd imagine it to sound, ie like primal scream.
― Ballboy to Afghanistan (LocalGarda), Thursday, 7 February 2013 12:41 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah that's what I thought, I mean in fairness Weatherall did create that sound but it's such a well-worn grove to slip into that unless it's absolutely sublime I find myself wanting to put something else on. Same goes for the whole Richard Norris/Time and Space Machine thing.

this is so sooooo good.its very much in line with his 'love from outer space' groove.in fact thats the final track on the 3rd cd .. oh, and he is hoping to sort out a proper dub version of the asphodells album (as opposed to the soon to be released remix set)

at a family friendly festival a couple of years back i got permission to do the selfish thing and saw him do the extended groove under the 'a love from outer space' banner.
best 3 hours ever.
― mark e, Friday, 26 February 2016 22:15 (eight years ago) link
I've seen him do that as well a day I dunno, I found it all a bit one paced at the time. I was in the middle of five days of Croatian beach festival mentalism and I'd just seen Optimo, so maybe it was a case of wrong set wrong time.
Looking forward to the new album though, even though I wasn't keen on the Asphodells thing I'll always give any Weatherall venture a go.

Most random Andrew Weatherall memory is buying Tiny Reminders by Two Lone Swordsmen in Northampton HMV while at uni, gegting it home, putting it on, and the CD being a mispress that had the audio of a Shakespeare play or Dickens novel (I forget which - it was 20 years ago) instead of music. The graphic on the CD was right, just the wrong audio.
Weatherall changed the way I think and feel about music in a seismic way.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 17 February 2020 14:43 (four years ago) link
Super young. He fell off my radar a long time ago (that's my fault, not his), but I think I listen to his My Bloody Valentine remix more than I listen to MBV these days.

In Dec 1994 I saw Primal Scream at Shepherd's Bush Empire... who were supported by a live incarnation of Sabres of Paradise (as well as a DJ set from the Chemical Brothers while they were still called the Dust Brothers, and an unannounced acoustic set from Noel Gallagher, and an encore appearance from Paul Weller, it was like the 1994est indie gig ever).
Anyway because the internet is amazing I have found a recording of essentially the same set from Manchester the same month - here
And for some reason - maybe something I read at the time? - I have always vaguely wondered if Weatherall was actually involved in this live show somehow or if it was more driven by Kooner & Burns. Despite knowing him by reputation I wouldn't have known what AW looked like at the time.
Anyway probably I will never know, but thought I would hang this memory out on the internet and maybe someone will one day reply.
