I was listening to Primal Scream last night (Xtrmntr) and got 2 other albums, it's sorta clear to me now that their music can be cool, but mainly they're just as good as their producers, Shields, Orb, Jah Wobble, etc,
It's that in general sometimes I dislike them, I loved Xcellerate and Screamadelica but they're really lauded for Screamadelica and that's the sort of album that they abandoned the sound totally after last album and became stones rip off, I just can't stand some of his attitude, ie atglastonbury, when he releases crap like country girl, drops bomb pentagon as single and that a lot of best moments I like aren't dowen to band, few examples 'shoot speed kill light' mental production and Bernard Sumner on guitar, acellerates Sheilds distortion, they can make a good racket but they don't seem to have a soul or style
Maybe...

Mani
I reckon Mani's playing is a big part of what makes Xtrmntr/Vanishing Point so great though...
Yeah
Fair point, I can't stand Gillespies voice though
Really?
Don't mind it myself. I've always had a soft spot for the boy Gillespie.
I have their demos from '83/'84 somewhere on tape, they're great, super-twee jangly pop music!
Some's ok
