Saturn 5

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Now spinning on Radio 6

[Electric ~soul~]

Dreadful record.

 

Inspirals by numbers. When I heard Saturn 5 for the first time, that's when I knew their days were numbered.

We've always aggreed to disagree on this.

How good were they live back in the early 90's though CZ ?

G-Mex was magic, although the band themselves admit they the best tour they ever did was in 2003 and I'd have to aggree <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Inspirals were superb in the early-90s, live or otherwise.

 

The Beast Inside, coupled with the Island Head EP (7" version), is the best stuff they've ever done. So moody and atmospheric. Just brilliant.

 

I saw them on the Beast Inside tour in 1991, and they blew me away.

 

Dragging Me Down is another favourite of mine. And the version of Sackville that appears on the b-side of She Comes In The Fall. Much better than the album version.

Bands always come out with crap like that. It's like Noel when he claimed that Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants was the best album he'd ever made.

I'm sure they were technically better musicians in 2003, but even you can't believe it was better to see them in 2003 than 1991.

You know that is not true. Tom Hingley is part of the band and every time I've spoken to him about it he has never praised the 2003 get together. (as you well know.)

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

He was slagging the tour off because he hated them, not the fact the tour was rubbish

It was 1990 mate, July 21st <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

21 July 1990 was a school-day for you, mate.

 

Can see you being allowed up to Manchester for that one!!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Finished my GCSE's by then, holiday time!!!

I was working in Savacentre on hard cash.

[gertcha EFM]

and you had probably never heard of them then anyway.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I heard them the week "joe" was released back in 1988, i saw it on the chart show. I have the original 12" of it.

[gertcha EFM]

stolen from woolies ?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

As if Woolies would sell an obsure indie bands 12"

[Electric ~soul~]

I first heard of Inspiral Carpets on a February 1990 edition of Top Of The Pops.

 

As previously stated on this board a while ago, this episode changed my life!

 

From hearing This Is How It Feels, I spent the next few weeks discovering the Stone Roses and the rest is history!!

 

I'll dig out my original thread about this, if I can be arsed.

I remember the epiode well. I'd lay cash on I've still got it on video at home, I've got loads of vid's from that era, I used to record TOTP and Chart show every week.
