Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Well I just listened to BVSC and Spiritualized. Here are my thoughts.

BVSC is an instant cop for me. As a spanish person, I am ashamed that i had not given this a prior listen. The music on here is amazing. I love this style of music and it is something i would want in my collection.

Spiritualized on the other hand is not something that i am that into. I honestly can't put my finger on it but it just doesn't hit me at all. I might need to give it a few more listens to decide.

You don’t need to enjoy drugs to enjoy Spiritualized but it certainly doesn’t hurt. It is like gospel music but he is praising burying yourself in drugs To cope with a broken heart as opposed to Jesus.

Yes, the whole album is basically a drug trip... from the initial euphoria, through the horrible bad turn in the middle of the night, and back out the other side as the sun comes up. It... gets intense.

Here’s a question, Kate Radley, his former bandmate and muse, inspired most of the heartbreak after she left him. Her new partner wrote another huge 97 hit from one of the other critically acclaimed UK rock albums of 97. Can you name the other band and the song?

OMG STOP! This amazing description makes me want to actively try and hit up a drug dealer to get some mushrooms/acid from them! Not that it's a bad thing I guess. I'm just so curious about the euphoria and I want to do psychedelics ! 👀👀👀
 
Ok so confession time. I have only ever listened to Spiritualized once before. I was given the VMP book for a gift and worked my way through it, listening to one a day. Pretty sure Spiritualized was in there.

Not sure if I like it enough to keep it yet, but its certainly got you guys excited so maybe I will stream a few times before making a decision.

Another thing of note, assuming they follow the original artwork it's one of the best packages in terms of extras and design. The whole thing is done up like a prescription order from a drug store. The liner notes, inner sleeves, etc... It's like a Mondo style package before Mondo was doing this...

Its definitely a great album and one that rewards repeat listens.

DO NOT DO THAT.

WHAT PART OF "HORRIBLE BAD TURN" WAS UNCLEAR?

I accept no responsibility.

mmmm true! I feel like it could be part of the 'experience'. I thought of a relationship, how people experience their most 'happiness' from the connection/joy being with the other person, but when there is a breakup, the person finds it so hard to cope. Like, I kind of want to feel that because I want to know what that happiness feels like. The level of happiness must be so strong for you to be so sad when it takes a bad turn/finishes. That's what came to my mind when you said 'euphoria' then.....'horrible bad turn'! I'm so naive and unexposed though 🙈🙉

Their was a promo CD version were each track was on a tiny CD in a blister pill pack and you had to pop out the cds like you would a Sudafed.
