Andy did you hear theNo Joy / Sonic Boom 12' that was out earlier this year. I really liked it, might be a bit disko for you but might not, in any case I thought it was the best thing he'd done in a while, possibly even as far back as Experimental Audio Research - The Köner Experiment but I'd admit to not following him super closely.

Totally off topic but check out the Tomorrow Syndicate, I think you might like them.

i'm super pumped for the new spiritualized record, you see I've always had a penchant for stoner-gaze music like spacemen 3 and the telescopes I just don't try to play that way on guitar though secretly i want to be playing that stuff

Absolutely! And why not?
I regularly listen to bands like Spacemen 3, Loop, Ultra Vivid Scene, Mary Chain, Suicide.....bands that I got into when I first started listening to music and bands that made me learn guitar. They made music I could actually play within a few weeks of starting to learn the guitar. That sort of music stays with me.

I learned how to play guitar from Spacemen 3... It's the only way I can play... If someone plays a blues scale my brain shuts down. My buddy built me a Vox Repeater clone recently so now I'm really set, ha

I taped the only Spiritualized show I have seen back in 1997. It is short and sweet. Available at my dropbox (link below) for a limited time.

It's evolved quite a bit since the original incarnation :)

Thanks a lot - And thanks again for your advice along the way! The new version features the original fuzz circuit and the treble/bass booster - plus a send/return loop to connect a wah where the 'palm wah' would sit in the signal chain of the old Vox guitars.

I'm also doing a limited edition with a NPN germanium version of the fuzz, finshed in grey 'hammer tone':

This is the first thing I've ever heard from them, and holy damn shit, I'm in love. I just keep replaying it. I'm in complete awe

That is amazing. Have any sound clips of it? That could possibly be just the thing for my bass rig...

Great to see this. What was your show, ADB? (SHort on disk space here).

I have seen a lot of good shows of theirs, including the Albert Hall. Vertiginous. I always associate that era with Jehova Kill-zone Julian Cope as IIRC some of the former's band joined the latter.
