Primal Scream "More Light" (Deluxe)

 

I really dug this band's breakthrough album from the early 90's, "Screamadelica," and was really into that whole UK-based alternative/indie/pop/dance scene.  The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, The Farm, Black Grape, etc., etc., etc..  Maybe you remember this song from 1991...



...and maybe not.  Rolling Stones comparisons flew wildly then and there are still echoes of them on this new record.  That song is the final track on the main album which really bodes well if you can sequence that kind of quality LAST!  Just for comparisons, let's visit the opener and its official video...



That sax line made me look to see if was the little cutie from The Zutons playing it.  In between and including these two bookends is one of this year's most solid psychedelic rock albums.  The Deluxe edition I purchased was a Japanese release with two bonus tracks (both worthy) and what's dubbed the Extra Light disc with six more (just two are filler).  One of the extras is a Troggs cover. 

I wish I could tell you what prompted me to give this album a try but I can't.  I'm just glad I did.  May very well end up on my Best Of list for 2013.
