Primal Scream - Screamadelica

[Skuj 226]

I put this in "What music are you listening to?", but I think this album deserves a thread. 

 

I searched the forum for Screamadelica:  There were no results for your search. Try broadening your criteria or choosing a different content area.

 

Wait...WHAT??

 

I've just rediscovered this magnificent album. Back in '91 I loved it, but I criminally glossed over many of the tracks. 

I wish the damn thing was released with both versions of Come Together, back to back, fast followed by slow.

And I wish the track Screamadelica itself was on it, closing out the album. After some intense/quiet tracks near the end, Screamadelica would serve as excellent "exit music".

 

(Does anyone know wtf I am talking about?)

OMFG. I'm that old? Really? You guys don't know Primal Scream, or Screamadelica?

 

Well, er, this band has been around since the 80s, and Screamadelica was the 3rd album, in 1991. And it is fucking magnificent. It basically traces the journey of someone at an acid party, I think?

This forum has a lot of zoomers/gen z on it, but this song in particular sounds familiar to me

Yeah, I'm very aware that I'm an old guy here, ha! But I really thought that Screamadelica was Sgt Fucking Pepper, or something. We must investigate this album, y'all!
