Deus Ex Machina: Bobby Gillespie.
The album that was missing this year has arrived and has manifested in all its splendor. To put it together after creating it, some significant figures were called in, such as ex-My Bloody Valentine Kevin Shields and Andy Weatherall, who already had a hand in the 1991 milestone "Screamadelica". Among the various guests, even Kate Moss!
After a lackluster "Vanishing Point" and the splendid and biting "XTRMNTR", this album positions itself just below their masterpiece. We find developed the concepts of the last years of Primal Scream from the electro-punk sounds to the sexy and melancholic melodies.
It starts with "Deep Hit Of Morning Sun", psychedelic and sublime, then in random order there's "Miss Lucifer", which is the continuation of "Swastika Eyes" and really makes you want to turn up the volume until you piss off the neighbors. Then "Autobahn 66" and "A Scanner Darkly", two similarly retro tracks, almost vintage mid-80's.
This album smells like freshly baked bread, which immediately whets your appetite. A melting pot of new and already deeply entrenched sounds in your imagination.
For years, whenever I find myself traveling and the plane flies above the clouds, peeking down from the window, I observe that mass of water that looks like cotton and with the sun hanging in the sky by an invisible thread, I hum to myself: "I'm higher then the sun/haa-a-ha/ Higher then the sun".
What will be my next catchy tune from Bobby G. and company?
Sublime!

03 Autobahn 66 (06:15)
Dreaming, dreaming
Seeing, seeing
Dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming
Dreaming, I'm still dreaming
Dreaming my life 'til the day that I die
Dreaming my life 'til the day that I die
Seeing, always seeing
Colour so beautiful, softer than sin
Colour so beautiful, softer than sin
Dreaming, I'm still dreaming
Dreaming my life 'til the day that I die
Dreaming my life 'til the day that I die
Seeing, always seeing
Colour so beautiful, softer than sin
Colour so beautiful, softer than sin
04 Detroit (03:03)
They tore down the Berlin Wall
They let the hammer and sickle fall
They fitted me for a uniform
Had it ready the day I was born
I destroy everyone I love
I destroy everything I touch
I don't own my own skin
All I got is original sin
Brought down in a broken home
Mixed blood brittle bones
I destroy everyone I love
I destroy everything I touch
Love sex
Female hex
Open eyes
Empty legs
No release
Exist to cease
Gimme a knife
Break my teeth
They tore down the Berlin Wall
05 Rise (04:21)
A life of work, is a life of crime
You pay your taxes, you serve your time
All that money, where does it go?
Schools, prisons, hospitals, roads
Government funding of military science
Genetically engineered ultraviolent
DNA, killer genes
To program microchips, marines
See stealth bombers and tomahawks
On CNN, pay-per-view war
RISE, RISE
RISE, RISE
Hey wage slave where's your profit share?
They got ya down they're gonna keep you there
Freeze your mind, metamorphose
Cocaine karma in the heroin zone
Multinational life is cheap
Soldiers, workers, maggots meat
Get on up, protest riot
Are you collateral damage or a legitimate target?
RISE, RISE
RISE, RISE
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
Deaths head factory suicide
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
Deaths head factory suicide
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
Deaths head factory suicide
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
Deaths head factory suicide
RISE, RISE
RISE, RISE
06 The Lord Is My Shotgun (03:56)
Cancer mind
Grave yard dirt
Name on your tombstone
Knife in your skirt
Head on collision
Motorcycle crash
Ain't goin' to prison
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bad seed baby
Gimme your disease
Death's head angel
Lay your curse on me
Lord is my shotgun
Your Satan's jewel
Plough your death valley
Sow my seed in you
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bad seed baby
Gimme your disease
Death's head angel
Lay your curse on me
Lord is my shotgun
Your Satan's crown jewel
Plough your death valley
Sow my seed in you
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Bury you alive
Sometimes I think you're
Too sweet to die
Other times I think you should be
Buried alive
Bury you alive (x8)
07 City (03:24)
Everyone I see's
Diseased or broken
Holes in their arms
They got cocaine eyes
Self mutilation
Is self surveillance
Wanna get to heaven
You gotta die
Here she comes
Here she comes
She's crawled out of a garbage can
Here she comes
Here she comes
She's gonna waste another man
Ah sick city
Gonna be the death of me
Ah sick city
Gonna be my death, gonna be the death of me
Little Johnny Junk's
A subway pilot
He'll knife you in the head
For Chinese rock
Catch a falling spike
Ride a silver rocket
Score a body bag deal
From the Vietcong
Here she comes
Here she comes
She's crawled out of a garbage can
Here she comes
Here she comes
She's gonna waste another man
Ah sick city
Gonna be the death of me
Ah sick city
Gonna be my death, gonna be the death of me
Your meat on a hook
In your own snuff movie
Tortue loop hallucination
Nerves spliced
No innoculation
From the viral programme
There's spiders in your mouth
Shoot insecticide!
Here she comes
Here she comes
She's crawled out of a garbage can
Here she comes
Here she comes
Gonna waste another man
Ah sick city
Gonna be the death of me
Ah sick city
Gonna be my death, gonna be the death of me
SICK SICK SICK
SICK CITY
SICK SICK SICK
SICK CITY
SICK SICK SICK
SICK CITY
SICK SICK SICK
SICK CITY
SICK CITY
08 Skull X (03:52)
The sky's black with locusts
My eyes are burning stars
There's a mountain of gold teeth
in every bank vault in this world
Wanna try and steal my face, my body and my soul?
Ridden on a bed of nails
Walkin' into walls
Ooo baby, do it again
Ooo baby
C'mon baby, do it again
(repeat x2)
Do I drown in my streams
Do I kill you in my dreams
Do I draw a knife across your throat?
Is your mouth an open grave
Will I fall upon your blade
Are those needles in your eyes
The blood of Jesus?
Ooo baby, do it again
Ooo baby
C'mon baby, do it again
(repeat x2)
Another teenage suicide, slit your wrists and laugh
When boredom kills
Shot morphine pills
Be faithful unto death
In every home a rapist
Are killers family men
Why do children
Hate their parents
Keep a shotgun underneath your bed
Ooo baby, do it again
Ooo baby
C'mon baby, do it again
(repeat x2)
So fly the skull and crossbones
Burns the union jack
Hang on to your eyeballs
Paint the daytime black
Choose your best friends carefully
Don't betray your code
Live outside society
Stay inside you soul
Ooo baby, do it again
Ooo baby
C'mon baby, do it again
(repeat x2)
Don't you find hard to laugh
When your mouth is full of broken glass?
Thoughts mutate to locusts
Skull exploding
Don't you find hard to laugh
When your mouth is full of broken glass?
Thoughts mutate to locusts
Skull exploding
Ooo baby, do it again
Ooo baby
C'mon baby, do it again
(repeat x2)
Do it again
C'mon baby, do it again
Do it again,
C'mon baby, do it again
Do it again,
C'mon baby, do it again
Do it again
C'mon baby, do it again..
