Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • History [ ] Formation & early years (1982–1984) [ ] Bobby Gillespie moved to, in southeastern Glasgow. Digital Juicer 3 Full Download. There he attended, where he first met Robert Young. Another schoolfriend was, who took Gillespie to his first gig, a concert.
McGee and Gillespie were heavily influenced by, and they joined a local punk band, The Drains, in 1978. The Drains guitarist was a 15-year-old Andrew Innes. The band was short-lived, and Innes and McGee moved to London while Gillespie chose to remain in Glasgow. After the punk movement ended, Gillespie became disenchanted with mainstream. He met up with another schoolfriend who shared his outlook, Jim Beattie, and recorded 'elemental noise tapes', in which Gillespie would bang two dustbin lids together and Beattie played fuzz-guitar. They soon moved on to and cover songs before starting to write their own songs, based on and basslines.
Gillespie later said that the band 'didn't really exist, but we did it every night for something to do.' They named themselves Primal Scream, a term for a type of cry heard in.
Still essentially a partnership, Primal Scream first played live in 1982. First recordings (1984–1989) [ ] Their first recording session, for McGee's independent label Essential Records, was a single track entitled 'The Orchard', with Judith Boyle on vocals.
Beattie later claimed that they burned the master tape. After the aborted recording, Gillespie joined The Jesus and Mary Chain as their drummer, and alternated between the two bands. While the Mary Chain became notorious for their chaotic gigs, Gillespie and Beattie expanded Primal Scream's lineup to include schoolfriend Young on bass, rhythm guitarist Stuart May, drummer Tom McGurk, and tambourine player Martin St. This lineup was signed to, an founded by Alan McGee, and recorded the group's debut single, 'All Fall Down', which received positive reviews. After the release of the single, Gillespie was told by Mary Chain leaders and that he was to either dissolve Primal Scream to join the Mary Chain full-time or resign.
Gillespie chose to remain with Primal Scream. Stuart May was replaced by Paul Harte, and the group then released a new single, 'Crystal Crescent'. The b-side, ', was released on the compilation, which led to their being associated with the scene of the same name. The band strongly disliked this, with Gillespie saying that 'they can't play their instruments and they can't write songs.' The band toured throughout 1986, and Gillespie became disenchanted with the quality of their performances. He said that there 'was always something missing, musically or in attitude.' The band switched to McGee's newly set-up subsidiary.
Before the band entered in Wales to record their debut album, McGurk was asked to leave the band. The group subsequently began recording using session players. They spent four weeks recording with producer before deciding to halt the sessions.
May was subsequently dismissed and Gillespie's former bandmate Innes was brought in as his replacement, and the band finally found a new drummer, Gavin Skinner. With their new lineup, the band re-entered the studio, this time in London with producer. By the time was completed, it had cost £100,000. The album reached number 62 on the British charts and received poor reviews, with calling it 'pristine but dull.' The backlash from the album caused internal strife within the band. Beattie and Skinner subsequently resigned.
The band, now consisting of only Gillespie, Innes and Young, relocated to to regroup. Young switched to guitar, and they recruited bassist Henry Olsen and drummer Phillip 'Toby' Tomanov, who had both been in 's backing band, The Faction. They traded in their sound for a harder rock edge, or as Gillespie said, '[w]e had found rock 'n' roll.' The band re-signed to Creation Records and released their first single in two years, 'Ivy, Ivy, Ivy'.
This was followed by a full album,. The band's new sound was met with poor reviews, called it 'confused and lacking in cohesion'.
Fans responded as unfavourably as the critics, with many of the old fans being disappointed or simply confused by the new sound. The album featured keyboardist guesting. Screamadelica (1990–1992) [ ]. Bobby Gillespie on tour in 1991 at Club Citta, Kawasaki, Japan The band were first introduced to the scene by McGee in 1988. They were at first sceptical; Gillespie said: 'I always remember being quite fascinated by it but not quite getting it.' The band quickly developed a taste for it and began attending raves.
The band met up with DJ at a, and he was given a copy of 'I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have', a track from Primal Scream, to remix for one of his shows. Weatherall added a drum loop from an Italian bootleg mix of 's 'What I Am', a sample of Gillespie singing a line from 's ' and the central introductory sample from the. The resulting track, ', became the band's first major hit, reaching number 16 on the. This was followed by another single, 'Come Together', which reached number 19. The band entered the studio with Weatherall,, and producing, and now full-time on keyboards. They released two more singles, 'Higher Than The Sun' and 'Don't Fight It, Feel It' which featured the lead vocals of Manchester singer Denise Johnson, both of which were successful. The album, Screamadelica, was released in late 1991 to positive reviews.
Ink Blot Magazine said that the album was 'both of its time and timeless.' The album was also a commercial success, reaching number eight on the UK chart. The album won the first, beating Gillespie's former band The Jesus and Mary Chain. The supporting tour kicked off in, and it included a performance at the before coming to an end in. Throughout the tour the band and their increasingly large entourage gained notoriety for their large narcotic intake. Around this time, the band recorded the. Some of the tracks had a more American sound than previously, and displayed a influence.
Give Out But Don't Give Up (1992–1995) [ ] The band began work on their fourth album in Roundhouse Studios in London in September 1992. In March 1994, the first single from the new album, ', was released. It was the band's highest charting single to date, reaching number seven on the UK charts.
The single was not received well, with NME calling them 'dance traitors'. The album, was released in May to mixed reviews. Whereas some praised the band's new -influenced sound, some dismissed the album as tired and drawing too heavily on their influences. Two more singles were released from the album, 'Jailbird' and '(I'm Gonna) Cry Myself Blind', both of which charted progressively lower. While touring in support of the album, relations within the band began to wear down. The band's American tour, when they supported, was, in the words of manager Alex Nightingale, 'the closest we've come to the band splitting up.' After the completion of the tour, the band remained quiet for a long period of time.
Gillespie later remarked that he was unsure if the band would continue. The only release during this period was a single, 'The Big Man and the Scream Team Meet the Barmy Army Uptown', a collaboration with and, which caused controversy due to offensive lyrics about and their fan base. Vanishing Point (1996–1998) [ ] After a short hiatus, the band returned with a new lineup., fresh from the well-publicised break-up of his previous band,, was added as the band's new bassist, and Paul Mulraney was added as their new drummer. The arrival of Mani revitalized the group, who were considering disbanding after the failure of Give Out.
The album was recorded in the band's personal studio in two months, and was mixed in another month. Most of the recording was engineered by Innes, and produced by and. The music on the album had a complex shoegazing dance/dub rhythm, harking back to the crossover success of Screamadelica, yet sounding significantly darker. Some songs on the album were inspired by cult 1971 film; Gillespie said that they wanted to create an alternative soundtrack for the film. Other lyrics were inspired by the band's past experiences with drug abuse. Gillespie described the album as 'an anarcho-syndicalist speedfreak road movie record!' The first single released from the album, ', was released in May 1997, and reached number 8 on the British charts.
The album, titled after the film, was released in July and revitalized the band's commercial viability. It received almost unanimously positive reviews upon release, calling it a 'swirling, hypnotic acid-trip', and Musik saying that 'this group's place in the history book of late 20th Century music is assured.' The inclusion on the album of the title track from the film Trainspotting also helped cement the band's place in alternative modern culture. The band scheduled a short supporting tour to take place during July. Unfortunately, the band had to postpone the dates. This led to speculation that there were problems within the band, and that one of the members may resign.
The band's press agent issued a statement saying '[i]t's not a drugs thing and it's not a nervous breakdown.' Before the tour was scheduled to begin, Mulraney left the band and they were forced to use a drum machine. The initial dates were poorly received, but they eventually hired drummer and the gigs improved.

This notably featured the bands' first collaboration with, on his remix of the title track.

XTRMNTR and Evil Heat (1999–2005) [ ] Recording sessions for the band's sixth album went well.
The band were for the most part free of drugs, and their lineup had finally stabilised. Despite their new-found peace, the band pursued a harsher and angrier musical direction. Many of the songs they wrote had overtly political lyrics, Gillespie said the band wished to convey 'What it's like to be in Britain in this day and age.' The album featured multiple guest appearances, including the, 's, and former guitarist, who had become a semi-permanent member.
The first single from, ', was released on November 1999. The song's overtly political content, Gillespie said it was about 'American international terrorism', made it controversial.
Nevertheless, it was a hit, charting at No. 22 on the British charts. XTRMNTR itself fared well, reaching No. 3.
The political content was well received, with Allmusic calling it a 'nasty, fierce realization of an entire world that has. Lost the plot.'

They were eventually forced off by officials after overrunning their allotted time; the festival organisers were at that point already annoyed at the band when, in response to their invitation to join other recording artists in signing a Make Poverty History poster which would be auctioned off for charity, lead singer Bobby Gillespie instead altered the poster so that it read 'Make Israel History'.
