Screamadelica
, March 7, 2001Reviewer: monkey_man_fear_satan - See all monkey_man_fear_satan's reviewsTHE album of the 1990's. Dance, psychedelia, dub rock, Stones rock. For the Primals, things would never be this good again. -
A moonstone milestone.
, December 12, 1999Reviewer: Vadim - See all Vadim's reviewsBobby G is one of the few visionaries who shape the face of modern music, alchemist blending and melting styles and ideas. This record is a long-thought-dead hairy, smelly, leather-panted, violent rock'n roll idol crashing into the club and raping shiny-happy short-skirted dance culture who actually comes to like it and they are eventually having a mad drug fiesta together. Please apologize me for such horrible images - but don't be a sanctimonious old lady, this is what this great record is about. Buy it, it is bloody good. Yours, Cpt Goodtrip. ...

Pro Reviews: Screamadelica
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews There's no underestimating the importance of Screamadelica, the record that brought acid house, techno, and rave culture crashing into the British mainstream an impact that rivaled that of Nirvana's Nevermind, the other 1991 release that changed rock. Prior to Screamadelica, Primal Scream were Stonesy classic rock revivalists with a penchant for Detroit rock. They retained those fascinations on Screamadelica one listen to the Jimmy Millerproduced, Stephen Stillsrip "Movin' on Up" proves that but they burst everything wide open here, turning rock inside out by marrying it to a gleeful rainbow of modern dance textures. This is such a brilliant, gutsy innovative record, so unlike anything the Scream did before, that it's little wonder that there's been much debate behind who is actually responsible for its grooves, especially since Andrew Weatherall is credited with production with eight of the tracks, and it's clearly in line with his work. Even if Primal Scream took credit for Weatherall's endeavors, that doesn't erase the fact that they shepherded this album, providing the ideas and impetus for this dubtastic, elastic, psychedelic exercise in deep house and neopsychedelic. Like any dance music, this is tied to its era to a certain extent, but it transcends it due to its fierce imagination and how it doubles back on rock history, making the past present and vice versa. It was such a monumental step forward that Primal Scream stumbled before regaining their footing, but by that point, the innovations of Screamadelica had been absorbed by everyone from the underground to mainstream. There's little chance that this record will be as revolutionary to firsttime listeners, but after its initial spin, the genius in its construction will become apparent and it's that attention to detail that makes Screamadelica an album that transcends its time and influence.

Primal Scream Biography
Primal Scream's career could in many ways be read as a microcosm of British indie rock in the '80s and '90s. Bobby Gillespie formed the band in the mid-'80s while drumming for goth-tinged noise-rockers the Jesus Mary Chain, who were the exact opposi...Full Primal Scream Biography
