('loops' cd is listed under j spaceman. they also list the above 'friendly fire' ep - http://www.sisterray.co.uk)

yes shakey, that was the style. there were two iirc. 'next track from spiritualized coming up. i'm not going to talk to them because, ha, they hate me. only joking... jason?' (band ignores dj and launches straight into song). radio 1 was only on medium wave at the time, i think, so recordings, the ones i didn't obliterate, are a bit fuzzy.

I have all that Radcliffe stuff (2 Sessions) and some Peel stuff on a bootleg cd.

Where did you get that?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 20 April 2006 16:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I got my bootleg from my bass player - dunno where he got it from.

there's a radio sessions bootleg listed on mp3.com and a couple of other places. comments say it's obviously been taped off air.

― koogs (koogs), Thursday, 20 April 2006 16:52 (eighteen years ago) link

I got my copy of it YEARS ago at a cd shop in Missouri called Now Hear This. Definitely sounds taped off the air. It's pretty good, though.

Please note: this list is not a stock list but a list of known available titles at this time

I got my radio sessions boot off of Ebay about 5 years ago.

Radio Sessions Volume One

1992-Radcliffe's Hit The North
1. If I Were With Her Now
2. Step Into The Breeze
3. Angel Sigh
4. Interview
5. Walkin' With Jesus
6. Medication

1993-Radcliffe on Radio One
7. Intro
8. Let It Flow
9. Sway
10. Electric Mainline

1995-Peel
11. Take Your Time
12. Walkin' With Jesus
13. Don't Go

It's pretty good. Don't Go is especially nice. Guitarloops is pretty shocking at first, but I'm warming up to it. It's definately nothing essential or worth paying a ton of money for.

Anyone else got "Friendly Fire" yet? Did you get one Kate?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 21 April 2006 09:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Yep - I've got what Joseph's got. Agreed about "Don't Go".

Why not just search for it on slsk? It's not like it's THAT hard to find there.

i've tried a bunch of times. it would be awesome if you can supply a username.

five months pass...

Is Guitar Loops supposed to sound all distorted at the beginning?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 13 October 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I have worked out that the answer is yes.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 13 October 2006 15:02 (seventeen years ago) link

three months pass...

Did someone mention this (Nov 17) interview yet? J Spaceman has been dead twice!

Separate thread on it, I think.

You know, around. About.

sorry, ignore, didn't find it :-(

Amazing Grace hasn't aged nearly as well as Let It Come Down, but I recall the former being praised (at least in the press) way more highly than the latter for some inexplicable reason.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 20:20 (seventeen years ago) link

let it come down is a brilliant record

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link

YES!!! I've just been listening to 'Won't Get To Heaven (The State I'm In)' on repeat to psych myself up for going out. The whole album (aside from 'On Fire' and 'The Twelve Steps' (respectively, meh and SHITE), is utterly awesome, grand, marvellous, moving etc, but WGTH(TSII) is one of my favourite songs of all-time. It's magnificent! 7:01 in is WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT

― Scourpop (Haberdager), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

otm about on fire, not about the twelve steps

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 21:07 (seventeen years ago) link

works as an intro to the album, i guess

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 21:07 (seventeen years ago) link

cutty OTM

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I dunno, I just feel that TTS is nothing more than a tired re-hash of about 4 previous Spz songs (one of which is, indeed, 'On Fire'). It's not even well-executed garage rock, it's boring IMO, and there's no melodic progression. If it wasn't on the album I'd be over the moon, put it that way.

― Scourpop (Haberdager), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I dunno I find the lyrics amusing - but yes its like a rehash of Electricity and a bunch of other stuff

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

i love the way he re-uses lyrics on LICD

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

There's a more recent Jason interview in the new Mojo... New album due out in 2007. Apparently the creative spark for it came from a particular guitar J. found on tour a couple years back.

Also, the "Acoustic Mainline" bootlegs I've been running across are pretty fantastic.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 23:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Are those the recent acoustic shows? The one I've heard is great, yeah.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 18 January 2007 07:46 (seventeen years ago) link

i love the way he re-uses ~~lyrics~~chord sequences on ~~LICD~~ all of his records

On Fire is a LOT better than I rmemeber. Whole album's sounding very good, actually. The big sound done well.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 18 January 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago) link

And the police SFX going on in The 12 Steps are supercool. Way better than anythig Mansun ever did.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 18 January 2007 22:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Where's Louis when you want to antagonise him?!

Louis, if you're ever in devon, we'll go drinking.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 18 January 2007 22:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I think making a big orchestral record at that stage of his career seemed like a copout to people - even tho the actual sound of the record is pretty damn amazing.

Stop Your Crying was a bad choice as a single though.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 18 January 2007 22:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Agreed.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 18 January 2007 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Offer accepted, but what I really want to know is what everyone thinks of WGTH(TSII). It's really the make-or-break album-clincher in my book, and it works better than anyone could have imagined. It just about pips the Albert Hall 'I Think I'm In Love' to my favourite Spz song.

― to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Friday, 19 January 2007 01:14 (seventeen years ago) link

(not forgetting the Albert Hall 'Shine A Light', which is definitely up there too)

― to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Friday, 19 January 2007 01:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Let It Come Down and Amazing Grace is pretty good too.
I saw them on both tours and the songs were great live. Even if the last tour was in smaller venues (prob helped it all to sound better actually).
I just wish they would play medication again like they did the 1st time I saw them about 9 or 10 years ago.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 19 January 2007 01:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Amazing Grace hasn't aged nearly as well as Let It Come Down, but I recall the former being praised (at least in the press) way more highly than the latter for some inexplicable reason.

Huh? LICD was slammed as an over-indulgent mess. Amazing Grace was widely praised.

I'm happy to hear that people have been reversing their opinions on these records though ...

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Friday, 19 January 2007 08:55 (seventeen years ago) link

LICD still got 9/10 in NME IIRC and was no 2 in their albums of the year.
It's not often NME get things right either. Those were the days!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 19 January 2007 09:33 (seventeen years ago) link

That's true, but NME always loved SPZ (LGM = #3 of 1992, LAGWAFIS = #1 of 1997) ... but I also remember them reviewing a live show from spring 1998 and retroactively slamming LICD (and their fall shows, in which Jason toured with about 13 musicians), prefering a more pared-down SPZ with "only" eight or so performers.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Friday, 19 January 2007 10:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i saw em in spring 1998 and they were, frankly, suckage.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Friday, 19 January 2007 10:26 (seventeen years ago) link

The 13-person lineup wasn't nearly as mindblowing as I hoped it would be. Oddly enough, the best show I saw from them was in October 2003, supporting "Amazing Grace" (their weakest album). The "Smiles"/"Things'll Never Be The Same" set-closing medley from that tour was (is) mindblowing.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Friday, 19 January 2007 10:43 (seventeen years ago) link

In answer to Louis' pleas about WGTH(TSII), yes, it's pretty good, and rescues the second half of the record (bit too samey after track 6).
