Album of the Day: Primal Scream – XTRMNTR
Few albums capture the chaos, energy, and rebellion of their time like Primal Scream’s XTRMNTR. Released in 2000, this groundbreaking record is a sonic assault that blends punk, electronic, and industrial influences into something truly unforgettable. And now, it’s available on 180-gram audiophile vinyl with printed innersleeves—making it a must-have for any serious collector.
Why XTRMNTR is a Masterpiece
XTRMNTR isn’t just an album; it’s a statement. From the opening track, "Kill All Hippies", to the closing notes of "Shoot Speed/Kill Light", it’s a relentless, exhilarating ride. The album’s themes of political dissent, technological alienation, and cultural decay feel just as relevant today as they did over two decades ago.
This record also features one of Primal Scream’s greatest lineups, including:
-
Bobby Gillespie (vocals)
-
Andrew Innes (guitar)
-
Mani (bass, formerly of The Stone Roses)
-
Robbie “Throb” Young (guitar)
-
Martin Duffy (keyboards, formerly of Felt)
-
Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine, guitar and production)
The album also boasts incredible collaborations with Bernard Sumner (New Order), Tim Simenon (Bomb the Bass), and Jagz Kooner (The Sabres of Paradise), adding layers of electronic and production brilliance to the mix.
The Vinyl Experience
This 180-gram audiophile pressing is a treat for the ears. The heavier vinyl ensures superior sound quality, bringing out the album’s raw power and intricate layers. Whether it’s the distorted guitars, pounding beats, or haunting synths, every detail shines through.
The printed innersleeves are the cherry on top, adding a touch of class to this already stunning release. It’s the kind of package that reminds you why vinyl is the ultimate format for music lovers.
A Record for the Ages
If you’re a fan of bands like The Chemical Brothers, My Bloody Valentine, or even Nine Inch Nails, XTRMNTR will feel like a long-lost favourite. It’s an album that defies genres and expectations, offering something new with every listen.
