Roxymuzak - The only personal downside was the lack of anything from "Force" but it really didn't matter. After an intro sequence (the same as the one on Live In America) they started with Du The Du and also played The Fox and Shack up. Donald Johnson was unbelievable throughout. Good Together, Wonder Why, Be What You Wanna Be were played. I'm struggling now, but I remember the set list spanning all eras. There was an after show party too (I didn't go, but I presume the band were - they were in the bar afterwards chatting to people).
Stirmonster - don't miss it. In fact, mates willing, I might go. I like Glasgow a lot.

Douglas is right. Don't judge them until you hear Lucinda.

-- grimly fiendish (simonmai...), April 17th, 2005.
I remember when I first read this post of my good man Grimly's. Though I loved ACR terribly, the idea of an extended version of Winter Hill seemed about as exciting as watching paint dry. But I have the Holland 1980 CD now and infact it is the Winter Hill track that really towers over the rest. Absolutely amazing. Also...I found myself thinking during "Loss" that Brian Eno would probably rip his teeth out to get involved with what was going on there, and then I remembered that the band were actually named after an Eno track, and well...one doesn't want to say things like "Manchester's finest" because that could set off a firestorm of never ending debate but...
Also been listening to the Live In America 1985 CD and that shit is hot. Like they stuck a funk band in a frying pan, turned on the heat and told them to rock!

they played two new songs. one of them was awe-inspiringWe got four! On the basis of which I'd say the new LP (due end of 2006, folks) should be, at the very least, worth a listen.

Hey, what album/single is this version of Knife Slits Water on? I can't find it anywhere ... I like it a lot better than the faster/higher pitched one on Sextet.
― burt_stanton, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 23:00 (fifteen years ago) link
piece of crap youtube.
So yeah, if anyone knows what album/single that's on, if any, just uhhh, yeah, post it

I just bought a plane ticket recently for this. Me? Excited?! I heard ACR haven't played in the US in 20 years. I definitely never thought I'd ever get to see them.

they ALMOST had the Fire Engines as well. In any case, should be a blast. More guest "djs" have been added, included Kevin Pedersen from What's Your Rupture? who's coming out with Love is All.
There's also a pre-party of sorts the night before, Adult. are performing and Hang the DJs will DJ with the Part Time Punks guys and I'm gonna DJ some dance music, as opposed to the post-punk-esque 7"s I'll be playing in between bands during the show on sunday.

Will someone please tell me the name of that beautiful black woman who sang with them tonight? Was it really Denise Johnson as the myspace page might have me believe? Oh my god. And you're telling me that *gasp* the guy playing the soprano sax...is the same one...Quigley...the same one that...see I thought it was a different guy and that Quigley had left the band for some reason. I'm in awe. I'm in absolute awe. I don't believe I witnessed what I did tonight. I just don't fucking believe it.
They have a new album coming out, ya'll, they did new songs. And I have high hopes for this album. Oh yes I do. And they did "Flight" too. And "Wild Party". And Joy Division's "Heart & Soul". Oh yes they did.

Yeh, yeh. They told us that back in 2006, too.
Glad you saw them, though. God damn, that Optimo gig was a joy.

I adore Jeremy Kerr's voice. Just let me say that much right now. And when they did "Rialto", too, it was the same effect. They take me back into a place in my teenage years when I was at the college radio station, and they do that like no other band takes me back to that place. I just close my eyes, and I'm back there, in the dark, in a room no one else cared to be in, listening to ACR records for the first time.
And there is just no reason for a drummer as amazing as DoJo to exist. There is just no reason. Why? Why are we so blessed?
Not to discount Moscrop. I noticed this amazing riffage he was doing at times that tricked you into thinking it was a fucking bass guitar.
