I'm more of an OM fan than Sleep or Shrinebuilder, but Al is bloody awesome in all of it. He's a nice guy too. He is, I met him years ago in Bristol after a Sleep show. Nice bloke. He's quite similar to Geezer I think, most of his bass lines are just lots of variations on a core riff with pretty simple fills. Nothing complicated or fancy. Just nice grooves and solid timing. 1 Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted August 25, 2021 Posted August 25, 2021 I've got a remastered version of Space Ritual on CD. On Monday night, heading along the M4 (largely unlit) at 11pm it was not difficult to feel like I was entering hyperspace... Lemmy's bass on the album is really clear on this version. It is utterly unlike his music with Motorhead, and is essentially the glue that holds the entire songs together and even the dominant melodic element on many of them. Solid as a rock, massively powerful and then throwing in little runs and walking excursions with loads of improvisation. It's easy to see why Space Ritual inspired so many people to start playing bass. 2 Quote

The bass is nice and prominent in the mix, too. Tremendous stuff from Lemmy. 1 Quote

PaulThePlug Posted August 25, 2021 Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Huge Hawkwind fan... well up to the mid 80's stuff... Such a classic album, so fluid and moving texture... Is the Space Ritual Remastered worth getting, is it that much better than the earlier 2 cd release? Edited August 25, 2021 by PaulThePlug Quote

Listening in the car, the sonic generator fired up and felt like it was bubbling away on my left shoulder. Quote

Graham Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 The new Wolves In The Throne Room Shame they've now cancelled their tour, particularly as they had Blood Incantation and Bell Witch/Aerial Ruin with them, but it was fairly inevitable. 1 Quote

I've been listening to it for a few weeks now (I help with a mate's music site). It's properly good, looking forward to the day I might hear it live... 1 Quote
Dad3353 Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 The whole album, but this is the track that just finishing. Good Stuff... Quote
Lozz196 Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 As I’m going to see Buckcherry in November I’ve been listening to their last two albums a fair bit recently, Hellbound of 2021 & Warpaint of 2019. Quote

I’d never heard of them at the time, but they were really nice guys and even shared their rider. When we played the place was already heaving, full with Canadians trying to get the best spot. They were excellent of course. Great evening. 2 Quote
