Creation Records

There is a very good recreation of a gig at a 80s shithole uk venue in Nico 1988.

That pre-Smiths Morrissey biopic of a few years ago was particularly bad at this.

sorry to pop in here with an interruption, but that WHAT??

i just watched the trailer and omg how did i miss this????? it looks absolutely, tremendously terrible. i must watch it.

It was a lot better than I expected. Then again, I was expecting very little, but it was mmm passable.

Well, I tried to sorta sum it up

i can't find page 2 where you obviously talk at length about revolving paint dream.

Alack.

A lesser-heralded aspect of the collapse of Creation is the whole decade of attempts to make Edward Ball a big star, though I appreciate that if I had a label like that I would probably indulge my friends just as much.

The funny thing is, "Pirate Playlist 66" is one of my favourite albums of all time, whereas I find most of his other albums alright/interesting at best.

Thing about Creation I often think about is how in 2000 when they no longer existed but to release the final singles from XTRMNTR they spun off seemingly utterly uncommercial things like Exterminator and *still* they made the UK Top 40. That's the fanbase era of chartdom in full, gleaming effect.

like Accelerator ahem

Can I just say the best song ever released on Creation by anyone is Love in a Car

I've not heard that LP in forever because i only have it on tape. would buy a CD but the only choice seems to be the 5cd deluxe box which is 4 CDs too many (i must already have 6 copies of Christine and shine on)

I loved Creation's breadth of styles and their onward progression through various styles.

And yet, House of Love, Ride, various others I never saw what the intense love was about.

scrolling through their discography it occurs that the only thing saving them from turning into a complete embarrassment in the second half of the 90s was SFA. not sorry

but after Xtrmntr and Guerrilla my third favourite Creation album is C'mon Kids :(

oh that's up there for me too, don't think of them as late 90s though! and XTRMNTR isn't even 90s lol (i like it too)

cmon kids as best boos album is a great call tbc

nah was just saying C'mon Kids was second half of the 90s!

This thread prompted me to sell The Telescopes Precious Little EP at the record store. A nastier sounding piece of vinyl would be hard to imagine. I got $5 for it though!

House of Love is a total classic, on the other hand.

I can’t think of any record that encapsulates the nightmare of the last 20ish years as well as XTRMNTR.

Right? I discovered it right at the beginning of lockdown, it absolutely hits the right (f-ed up) tones of the times.

C'mon Kids is a masterpiece, one day I will poll it.

Will just need to make sure Dog Latin is around

there's a 33 1/3 book inside me about C'mon Kids.

It's a great British Psychedelic album, as good as Piper, Butterfly, Sgt Pepper etc.
