Primal Scream have been through several lineups and musical styles, with Gillespie, Innes and Young being the only constant element. The band began as a psychedelic rock group, with a formless, loud, guitar-based sound influenced by the primal scream therapy theory (which also gave the band its name). The music was intended to be somewhat instinctual and primal in nature.
The band's debut album 'Sonic Flower Groove' encapsulated this sound with classic gems like 'Imperial' and 'Gentle Tuesday'.
In between the first and second album founder member Jim Beattie left to form Spirea X, continuing the early psychedelic sound, while the central trio of Bobby Gillespie, Andrew Innes and Rob Young relocated to Brighton and ditched their trademark "jangly" sound for a much heavier edge, influenced by MC5, Iggy Pop and The Stooges and the 1960s Detroit garage scene. Tha album also saw the beginning of the band being heavily influenced by The Rolling Stones. The band's dramatic change in sound risked alienating their initial fanbase, and the album was received negatively by the music press. good. Primal Scream remains a curiously underrated album and several critics have opined that a critical reassessment is overdue, particularly given its relatively contemporary style.
With their next album, Screamadelica, the band really started to make an impact. The first hint at their new direction came when the standout track from the previous album, "I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have", was remixed by Dance DJ Andrew Weatherall, employing methods of deconstructing and layering grooves normally found in Jamacian dub music. The resulting track, "Loaded" disassembled "I'm Losing More...", added a drum loop from an Italian bootleg mix of Edie Brickell's "What I Am", a sample of Gillespie singing a line from Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues" and the central introductory sample from the Peter Fonda B-movie The Wild Angels. The track was a phenomenal critical success, played everywhere from Ibiza to Glasgow and, along with The Stone Roses' "Fool's Gold" and The Happy Mondays' "Step On", marks the point where white indie music "got funky".
"Loaded" was followed by "Come Together", a brilliant psychedelic gospel track. The lead track was a remix sampling Nastassja Kinski from Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas and the guitar riff from Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds". This was backed by an instrumental mix by Weatherall containing a sample of the Reverend Jesse Jackson. This became another dance classic and highpoint of the Ibiza scene. The Weatherall mix has since become the most well-known version of the track. Screamadelica was a massive critical success, an album fused with elements of gospel ("Movin' on Up"), jazz (I'm Comin' Down"), dance ("Come Together", "Don't Fight It, Feel It") and rock and roll ("Damaged", "Loaded"). The album is often said to resemble the effect of a mind-altering drug trip, with the earlier tracks particularly euphoric and the latter few portraying the coming down side. The band won the inaugural Mercury Music Prize in 1992 on the strength of the album.
Give Out But Don't Give Up, recorded in Nashville, was another radical departure from the early Scream sound. While Screamadelica had blended dance with rock music, this album was closer to a pure rock and roll record; critics compared it in style and sound to the early Rolling Stones. The album also included a heavy Funk influence and George Clinton featured as a collaborator/producer.
More line up changes added Mani, who was a key addition to the group. Starting with the Vanishing Point album, a complex dance/dub rhythm was present in most of the tracks, harking back to the crossover success of Screamadelica, yet sounding significantly darker and more sinister. Some see this as Primal Scream's reaction to the money-driven perversion and eventual death of the Madchester scene: though Primal Scream were not from Manchester, they were seen as part of a stylistic brethren with bands who were.
Vanishing Point revitalised the band and introduced a far more complex musical dynamic, and saw the additon of Kevin Shields as a third guitarist to the live band. They have since produced increasingly complex yet accessible albums in the form of XTRMNTR and Evil Heat, both within a surprisingly short period of time and with Shields providing a great deal of influence and production talent. The band's newly consistent lineup has also allowed it to coalesce as a live act, reproducing songs from their recent studio albums on stage, but also recreating the band's entire back catalogue. Shields has never been an official member of the band but toured and recorded with them consistantly from the late 90's until 2005.
2006 sees the release of the bands new album 'Riot City Blues' with the first single 'Country Girl' a country/ rock smash hit. Primal Scream are as vital today as they have ever been.
