I remember when Sonic Flower Groove first came out. It was such a huge disappointment. The 1st two singles and the 3 early bbc sessions are so awesome and I was so looking forward to the album. A then I listened to this wishy washy overslick collection of songs and it was immediately clear Primal Scream had lost their sense of direction completely.
I 100% agree. I was so excited to get the LP. They could fit such genius into less than 2 minutes, what would a whole album be like ? Shut, that's what. It wasn't the songs, I'd heard most of them on bootlegs, the FEEL was wrong. Both half baked, and overcooked. SGT was a mess, a wasted opportunity.
@@iancopestick6757 for some reason I think that the long lost Stephen Street sessions might sound better than the Mayo Thompson mixes. those early singles and radial sessions are the bees knees.
@Jessica King I disagree, the trilogy of " Vanishing Point ", " XTRMNTR ', and " Evil Heat ", are some of, if not THE. most innovative rock-'n'-roll records ever. I'll admit that sometimes, SFG, Give Out, they've been nothing more than pop professors tinkering around with rock-'n'-roll history. I personally DESPISE " Dolls ", and pretty much the whole " Riot City Blues " LP. I will agree that they haven't made a good record since '02, BUT " Vanishing Point ", " XTRMNTR ", and " Evil Heat " are incredibly exciting, forward looking, innovative records. Name me a band since The Stones who've been able to come up with 3 great records like that. Even The Clash couldn't do it.
Fever Claw is such a cheerful song, shame they never recorded it in studio
Awesome sound! I love the extra verse in Velocity Girl.
If this were released as a 12" EP I would buy it in a flash
Fantastic! Remember taping this from the radio at the time!!!
Brilliant! best version of Silent Spring.
Thanks for share!
Yay! Velocity Girl.

The version of Imperial on SFG is much better than this version, what are you all on about?!
