Posted as it's apparently a news story now: Do musicians ever deserve to be jeered off stage? Sonic Boom was treated to a hail of boos at Koko on Tuesday. His crime? Not being familiar to the young crowd

It says quite a lot about the changes in my lifestyle that once upon a time I'd go all the way to Northampton to see Spectrum, but now I can't even get myself up to Hackney. (But then again, ugh, Hackney.) I am glad that Sonic and especially Will are having a 4th or 5th resurrection. They're people who get the credit, but not the worldly rewards for their huge ~influence~.

Long interview with Sonic on the making of Soul Kiss (Glide Divine). Well worth reading...http://dockellisrecords.wordpress.com/2014/04/04/soul-kiss-glide-divine-spectrums-timeless-masterpiece/

I wish I had bought that Soul Kiss (Glide Divine) gelatin-filled edition of the CD when I'd had the chance way back when
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 17:53 (five years ago) link
The gelatin in my copy pretty much evaporated after a while

I don't even have the case anymore - just the CD and it's pretty beaten up which is very unusual for my CDs. That album spent some time being the go to 'rock n' roll' element of the holy triumvirate. It saw some action, you could say.

Well goddamn. Sonic revealed a bit of a new Spectrum song on his instagram. A new album/something on the way too.

yup, exciting! I posted it here but *crickets* The Comprehensive Spectrum, E.A.R. and Sonic Boom Discography POLL

Ohh, great news! Have to say I'm really curious about this. I like 'Just Imagine' on first listen, way more of a call-back to the 'Spectrum' days than I expected!
That hideous album cover though 😅

It's vintage Sonic Boom and I'm really glad he's back by the sound of this!

Sonic produced this album by London-to-Portugal band Camila Fuchs, and I'm starting to really like it.https://camilafuchs.bandcamp.com/album/kids-talk-sun
