Primitai claim to be playing a show at the Purple Turtle on Tuesday October 19th but I’ve checked the venue listings and no trace of them can I find. Curiouser and curiouser.
The majority of this album sounds like a bizarre, sonic amalgamation of the tapes my father used to make my brother and I listen to whenever we went out in the car between 1986 and 1991. Here is a full list of those tapes;
Asia by Asia.
Queen: The Works.
Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of War of the Worlds.
For those of you who didn’t have the good fortune to be sitting in the back seat of my family’s red 1983 Ford Orion (registration number A309 PTP) during the aforementioned period, let it suffice to say that the music on this album is not particularly special in anyway whatsoever. It’s hard, but not that hard. It’s fast, but not that fast. It sounds a bit like Manowar, but not enough to actually be confused with Manowar.
But all is not lost. If you go on Youtube, there is a fantastic, self made video for the title track which features scenes of the chaps rocking out in a warehouse, intercut with very old, red-tinted footage of warships firing their 12 inch guns in naval combat. It’s really rather good.
