Hello,
      anybody out there heard of/fan of ULTRA VIVID SCENE.If
  there is I'd like to know what you think/know of them.
      I read in a magazine (INDIECATOR(sic)) that they were 
  touring with BELLY somewhere and had just released a single
  'Blood and Thunder' from their last LP 'Rev'. Can any one 
  confirm this ?

   G'day,

   I'm hoping someone can tell me what Spacemen 3 sound like ?

   I've got Spiritualiseds Laser Guided Melodies which is pretty cool, very
   mellow but possible over rated after all the hype I've read.

   Thanx in advance.

========================================

That's funny, I haven't really seen any of the Spiritualized hype here in the
states.

Anyway, Spacemen3 sounds somewhat similar to the current wave of Euronoise
bands (My Bloody Valentine, Bevis Frond) though with more of a 60'ish
acid rock bent.  Indescribable amounts of "atmospheric feedback" (for lack
of a better word) coupled with organ and looped synthesizers.  Spiritualized
has a much more polished sound (better production) than S3, but S3 (IMHO)
is more brain blowing.

Spacemen3 only have four albums that you really need to concern yourself with.
There are a LOT of singles and EPs, some of which are almost album sized.
(Dreamweapon is 40+ minutes long!)  These four are...

1. Sound Of Confusion
2. The Perfect Prescription
3. Playing With Fire
4. Recurring

Playing With Fire is currently my favorite, but I alternate between that
and Perfect Prescription.  In all honesty, I would get both.  Sound Of
Confusion would be my next choice, and then Recurring.  Recurring is
essentially one-half Sonic Boom (Pete Kember) and the other half Jason
Pierce and consequently doesn't have as much of a "band" feel as the other
albums.

Performance is a S3 live album which came out after Perfect Prescription.
The recording isn't what it could be, sounding more like sheer noise than
anything else.

You might also be interested in the other two S3 spin-offs:  The Darkside
(formed by an ex-S3 bass and drum player) who have two albums out, and
Spectrum (formed by S3 "leader" Sonic Boom).

Spectrum have one album out and at least two 30min plus EPs.  The sound
is less guitar-heavy than S3, but still quite good.  Don't confuse this with
Sonic Boom's solo album called "Spectrum" which simply isn't all that great.

Anyway, to finish out the discography...  Spiritualized has three ex-S3
members (Jason Pierce, Wille Caruthers, and the drummer whose name I forget)
and an album and EP out.  Lazer Guided Melodies you already know about.
You might want to pick up "Medication," a 40 minute EP which is definately
worth the money.

Hope that helps,

Chris

I wish I had cable TV to have seen it, I'm a new fan of Soul Asylum and 
really like their stuff (I'm only familiar with " And the Horse They Rode in
On") and have only known of their existance for about 6 weeks or so.
I've heard they just came back from a European tour and have a new
album out. Are the songs on the new one as depression-inspired as "And the
Horse......"? (i.e. "WE3", your best friend throwing your friendship in
the trashcan 'cuz his new girlfriend hates your guts and orders him to do so,  
and the pathetically suicidal closing lyrics of "Be On Your Way" and the sarcasm
of "All The King's Friends"). I thought this album was great because it really
fit the general mood I was in over the Xmas holidays and gave me something
to drink about. Incidently, my best friend(of 12 years)'s new girlfriend doesn't
hate my guts anymore and  when I played "WE 3" for them( neither one had ever
heard of Soul Asylum or "WE 3" before), they both cried......
It was a real mushy scene and I'm glad I gave them a guilt trip, they     
deserved it and now our friendship is restored. I hereby drink a toast to Dave
Pirner's songwriting talent, it really hit the spot at a most opportune time
for me. BTW anybody know if these guys are/will be touring in the US soon? I
really want to see them live the next time they're in the Dallas area.

Yeah, the singles are all the same as the original versions of the UK singles.
I don't have it, but I plan on getting it soon, the only problem being that
I don't know if I'll be able to find it.  From what I hear, $100 is a good 
price for it.  I've heard costs in the range of $120-$150.

Oh yeah, if they have an extra copy, E-mail me, I may want to have you buy
it for me (of course I'll pay costs) if it's not too much trouble.
