The Primitive Radio Gods: Mellotron On!

Rocky Road

From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

This finally turned up yesterday and I have had a chance to play it a couple of times now.
Its the album that gathered dust for several years on a record company shelf before being partially re-recorded as White Hot Peach.
The sound is much more immediate than WHP.
The songs are sensational often based around acoustic guitar occasionally reminiscent of Love although Wayward Pilot's Mission sounds extremely Lennon/MacCartney-ish.
There is a way they have of dropping small chunks of full-blooded harmony into the songs that just bristles the hairs on your neck.
As does th sometimes plain ELECTRICITY of feedback guitar in a way Spiritualised at their peak used to manage.
The PLG's ability to pull songs out of the most unlikely of things (where do radio broadcasts go to?) is guaranteed to keep you coming back to this one. Or at least to keep me coming back.
WHP has been on my Desert Island Discs list since I first heard it... until now, Mellotron On has just replaced it.
I also received Still Electric, a spooky set of what at first listening seem much more electric experiemnts... but that's on half a listen in the car.
There is quite a lot at

including downloads.
There are few better ways you could spend your day.
