Ivy Ivy Ivy

Primal Scream are making a fuss about the anniversary of their Screamadelica album. I bought it at the time. Oh dear. It didn't work for me. One or two actual songs, and lots of aimless noodling, I thought. I think I played my copy twice. It was widely reviewed as brilliant, and appears on lists of top albums, so opinions obviously vary (me v. everyone else).

I suppose I bought it because I liked their previous single, Ivy Ivy Ivy, which is a belter.

Ivy, you're a girl that I can never taste
I get violent feelings when I see your face
You're so warm and beautiful and soft and kind
Close my eyes and you're shining in my mind
Oh oh Ivy, Ivy

I've just listened to that a few times and I feel better. Now, where's The Las There she goes and Inspiral Carpets Move? I have them on vinyl, don't you know!

Edit: You can hear the song on YouTube. The sound seems to be the studio verson, and the accompanying concert video is only approximately related.
Edit Edit: Same video on this blog page is synched fine. I hate computers.
