LVSaint Posted 4 July, 2012 Posted 4 July, 2012 How about an album. Primal Scream - Screamadelica. Playlist in this order - Damaged I'm Coming Down Loaded Come Together Higher than the Sun Movin on Up Shine Like Stars
shurlock Posted 4 July, 2012 Posted 4 July, 2012 How about an album. Primal Scream - Screamadelica. Playlist in this order - Damaged I'm Coming Down Loaded Come Together Higher than the Sun Movin on Up Shine Like Stars Almost tempting to go with the original tracklisting - start with the promise and optimism of the early noughties (movin on up), culminating in the high of the 2003 season followed by the comedown and crash and then the revival.
