Andrew Weatherall - 6 Mix - 2 May 2009

Another fill-in for the Queens Of Noize on 6music on a Saturday night. Excellent stuff here from Mr Weatherall, including a Manics remix! I've not had a chance to listen to it properly yet, but cannae wait to do so.

Looks like this is gonna be a semi-regular thing from now on, he says "back in six weeks" at the end of it. Yee-ha!

Primal Scream - LA House Of Blues, 2000

What to say about Primal Scream? They've been my favourite band for about the last 20 years, seen them all over the place a ridiculous amount of times over the years, and will continue to do so for as long as they choose to play. Always a mental night!

This is the best live show I've ever heard by them, from LA in 2000 (XTRMNTR tour). Check the lineup: the band complete with Kevin Shields on full sonic attack duty, along with a horn section and a flautist, not to mention the addition of Sex Pistol Steve Jones for the encore. They are on fuckin fire here, with a stunning set to boot. Hell, even the usual lowlights of Medication and Rocks sound great on this.

Don't know the source of the recording, but it's perfect quality. I defy you not to get goosebumps when you hear Shoot Speed Kill Light. Be sure to check in on the Webadelica forum if you're a fan, plenty more goodies in the download section...

Secret Knowledge - Afterworld

Hmmm - this is a one-sided 12" white label jobby, dunno whether it actually got a proper release. Doesn't look like it from Discogs. Think I picked it up round about the time I saw SK supporting Saint Etienne at the Garage (back when it was the Mayfair) in Glasgow. Remember thinking what a wee chap Needs was - I always expected him to be a big tall cunt. I cornered him to ask when he would be playing at Pure, but it never happened (probably no bad thing)...

Similar kinda structure to Sugar Daddy, if not in the same league, it's well worth a punt. In fact, having just listened to it right through it's way better than I remember.

Planetary Assault Systems - Planetary Funk Vol. 3 (Visit To Pro-form iii)

My favourite Planetary Funk, this one. It's definitely a game of two halves - side A is full-on bangin' techno, I've heard both tracks played out over the years, mostly at Club 69. Side B is more contemplative, a very nice all-rounder.

Saw Luke play live with a full band at Glastonbury a few years back, on the Jazz-World stage of all places (my one and only trip to that stage). He was tip top back then, and I hear there's a new Planetary Assault Systems album in the pipeline for 2009. Cannae wait...

Random XS - Y.A.M.

Another DJAX release from Random XS, one of the first acts to appear on this blog way back in January, when I had beginner's nerves and was only posting the 'TUNE' off an EP. I've gone for the full shebang this time, but the 'TUNE' is definitely B1, flange-tastic and fucks yer head about with loads of spacey noises. Another one which graced the decks at Pure on more than one occasion...

Fudge Fingas - Ghost House

A bit of hot new local talent here, Fudge Fingas has a sound that to my ears certainly seems to be inspired by producers such as Carl Craig and UR with a large side helping of Chicago house. If you're in Edinburgh tomorrow go check him out at the mighty Club For Heroes at the Wee Red Bar in the Art School, playing alongside other guest Tyler Parks (Ingognito, Lisbon). They've got a crackin lineup over the coming months, including Truffle Club (half of Optimo remix team and 20% of Big Ned) and, er, ME! Don't worry, I'll give you plenty of notice for when Ripped In Glasgow will be hitting the decks...

Oh, while I'm on the subject of plugging things go check out new blogger Hakan's site, techtech2009 - he's so serious about doing it properly he's gone and bought a new Technics deck for the purpose!

Two Lone Swordsmen - The Third Mission

Just realised that I haven't put up any Weatherall stuff for at least a fortnight!

This sees the boys in experimental / ambient mode. Listening to it again reminds me of the time I saw Mr Weatherall DJ-ing at JD Twitch's short-lived ambient Sunday night club, Sonora. Think I've still got a poster from that one somewhere...

He's quite the talented boy, eh? Not a huge amount of stuff that sounds like this though, even by 2LS standards. Bit of a weird one - three shortish tracks on side A then a biggie (9:30) on the B-side.

Genetic Waste - Genetic Waste

Fuck me this is one helluva weird 12". Came out on the Ongaku label in 1993, as did this upload from last week. Took a wee notion for it after firing up that Emmanuel Top 12" below.

Side A is fucking evil, sinister, hardcore madness. Side B? A beautiful ambient piece - couldn't be more different. Dunno anything about the guy who produced it (Daniel Pommer according to sticker on the sleeve), but I'd question their sanity. He's got a track on an album called "History Of Rotterdam Hardcore" so go figure...

Emmanuel Top - Lobotomie / Pulsions

The A-side is a great acid track that takes a while to build. When it does, it's well worth the wait. I remember being dead excited when I found this as I'd had the name Emmanuel Top floating round in my head ever since having one of those "what the fuck was THAT?" moments round at someone's flat. It gets completely nuts at about the 8min mark and doesn't let you go till the end. Lobotomy? Aye, it gets that way...

Well worth a punt on the B-side as well, a very energetic track that's not a million miles away from this track. Intense as hell!

Electro CT - Metropolis Musica Part One

I have to be honest and report that I had no idea what this record was when it appeared in front of me - didn't recognise it at all. Through the magic of Discogs, I've learned that it's a French dude called Olivier Daric, "a pioneer DJ from the Paris rave scene", so there you go...

The A-side's got a great flow to it with some Clangers-style noises that sound like those things you blow into while moving the stick up and down at the bottom, then these really nice UR-style strings come in. It sounds a bit like something on the Touché label. I'm glad I picked this one out. Oh, just realised that was the B-side I was talking about. The A-side? A great pulsing techno track, bit faster than the other one, with more strings and great noises. I'm making this clear as mud, eh? Go download it and lemme know what you think...
