Kula Shaker: Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts

Exactly what one could expect from Kula Shaker after "K" and also for this underrated since its release, when instead it has the same inspiration as the debut in its blend of psychedelic pop rock and Indian sounds.

    I never listened to it. I remember very well the lukewarm reviews that greeted this. By the way, I bought it in '98 but it didn't impress me much. It must be at a friend's house. Who knows, maybe today I would change my opinion. I know nothing about their later work.

    I don't want to be mistaken, but I believe it was released in '99 (I remember because it came out practically the same day as "13" by Blur; I only had enough money for one, and of course, I bought the Blur album first, this one I got later). As for "K," if you really didn't like this one, I’m not sure it will appeal to you, as the sounds and coordinates are pretty similar (though "K" is a step above it, even if I consider this an excellent album, as I mentioned, maybe give it a listen because it deserves it). After (strangefolk and pilgrims progress) they changed quite a bit, less Indian sound, more psychedelic folk-rock, but still consistently good/excellent albums.

    you're definitely right. I have hazy memories because it was in '99 that my problems started. Even though I was convinced that 13 came out in April or May and Kula around October, that's why I was thinking of '98. That year, a record by a band that disappeared right away came out, the so-called Fuerslide... I don't know if you remember, by the way, I didn't even buy it. I think Ideal Crash by Deus also came out.

    I don’t really remember the psycho, but I do remember the fuerslide. I remember that period more or less, maybe more around March, but who knows. I recalled that Kula Shaker had also released something (on TV, they were still airing the weekly charts of the best-selling records with the related videos, and I seem to remember that both 13 with the video Tender and Peasants, Pigs and Astronauts with Mystical Machine Gun were new entries :D).

    underrated by many because associated with brit-pop, in my opinion. Sure they were pop, but linking them to certain ephemeral (if not poor) phenomena of 1990s England just doesn’t fit. Then try to get your hands on the original lyrics (the original, not the adaptation) of 'Namàmi Nànda-Nàndana' and at that point you'll realize that Crispian Mills has a genius and a passion like few others. I’ve listened to it on repeat; the last time was (funny enough) no more than three days ago...

The clear demonstration that Kula Shaker still had much to say after "Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts".

Despite the excellent subsequent albums, this remains without a doubt their masterpiece.
