Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
It may sound like a soundclash conceived by graphic designers in Hoxton, but Primal Scream’s Evil Heat is oddly fantastic. The plot this time is to streamline the massive sounds of 2000's superb Xtrmntr, and to combine two currently potent genres: raw, sexually charged electro and raw, sexually charged rock'n'roll. The key, as ever with Primal Scream, is their collaborators. Hence old mucker Andy Weatherall returns to the fold and turns "Autobahn 66" into a beautiful motorik meditation that simultaneously recalls their own Screamadelicaand the autobahn fantasies of Krautrockers Neu!. Meanwhile, My Bloody Valentine's genius leader Kevin Shields feeds most of the other tracks through his disorientation and distortion effects deck, so that even the most rudimentary New York punkers like "Skull X" and "City" sound originally twisted rather than mere homages.

In the midst of it all there's Gillespie, posing like fury, yelping the received wisdom of a thousand dirty rock biogs, far more camp than he can possibly conceive. But Evil Heat, perhaps accidentally, captures the paradox at the heart of truly great rock'n'roll: that the old myths and ideas can still be reinvented, sometimes as comedy, sometimes as revolution, sometimes as both simultaneously.--John Mulvey

CD Description
Eighth album from Primal Scream and the follow up to their 2000 release 'Xtrmntr'. 'Evil Heat' features contributions from Kevin Shields, Robert Plant, Andy Weatherall, Jim Reid and Jagz Kooner. A head-on collision of experimental psychedelic, blues, punk and rock 'n' roll. Includes the single 'Miss Lucifer', and 'City' a reworking of the David Holmes track'Sick City'.

5.0 out of 5 stars get evil, 24 Nov 2002
As a complete work, this is, arguably, even better - but certainly more consistent, than xtrmntr. Xtrmntr probably has some better individual songs, but Evil Heat has a great collection that doesn't live in the shadows. Single 'Miss Lucifer' had be wanting more, and the album doesn't dissapoint. 'Deep Hit Of Morning Sun' didn't appeal to me as an opener, but has grown on me with time. The album hardly lets up pace, 'Detroit' and 'Rise', standing out particularly. There's some great stuff on here; Mani's bass is becoming more and more prominent in the Scream sound, and they're sounding all the better for it. This is as good an album as Xtrmntr (which was pretty damn excellent) and desreves to be one of the best albums this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars BAD VIBRATIONS!, 7 Aug 2002
By A Customer
Try wiring your stereo up to a microwave oven and then play a combination of Can, The Stooges, Suicide, The Doors, Kraftwerk and Sigue Sigue Sputnik (!?!) and you'll really get some 'Evil Heat'. This is one of the most disturbing albums I've ever heard -from the jarring stylistic leaps to the actual lyrics themselves ('genetically engineered ultra violence'!) but it all somehow works. As always with The Scream there are some duffers ('Detroit' sounds like the Cd player is busted)but they're cancelled out by the corkers - City, Autobahn 66, Rise, SkullX.
Kev Shields does his customary jet engine production job on the rockin' numbers while Weatherall brings the mellow drugs with him. I imagine a lot of people will be put-off by the electro-throb pulse of the whole album but this isn't Dead or Alive, this is the sound of absolutely right now filtered through paranoid sci-fi fantasies and soft porn fever dreams.
Screamadelica seems a long time ago now and really is no longer relevant. Time to trade it in for this instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars SHAKE IT BABEY!!!!!!, 6 Aug 2002
Primal Screams new offering is actually less compromised than 1999’s Xtmnr. Xtrmnr, far from being compromised itself, offered slight relief by being flawed towards its closure. The inclusion of 2 remixes, (one of which was by Chemical Brothers and sounded as if it belonged on Surrender rather than a Primal Scream album) an awful baggy style number which went nowhere (Insect Royalty) and a ballad which was a little dull (Keep Your Dreams) meant that the album trailed off and failed to match the raw intensity of the first 6 tracks (luckily, awesome finale Shoot Speed Kill Light stopped it from being a complete failure). In terms of this continuity, Evil Heat is a vast improvement, and sounds far more complete.

There is nothing on here that really matches those first 6 tracks (and its final track) but there are echoes of them to be found here; the hyped up guitar battering of Accelerator (City, Skull x), the fuzz bass of Exterminator (Some Velvet Morning, featuring kate moss who is actually very good), and the adrenaline rush of the first and proper mix of Swastika Eyes (Miss Lucifer, nowhere near as good as Swastika Eyes but is still a Jagz Kooner production, so they are similar).

Elsewhere we get warped psychedilia (Deep Hit of Morning Sun), the overrated 'krautrock' of Autobahn 66 (I was honestly expecting this to be special and its not) a track that sounds like Garbage, and Babylon Zoo(!) (Detroit), a very aggressive punk anthem about ‘collateral damage’, and ‘taxes’ (Rise, a raw version of Pills) a very funny wonky blues number called Lord is My Shotgun (great when your drunk), and A Scanner Darkly, a peculiar number that sounds as if its going to be one of those dark, brooding instrumentals but turns into a quirky 80s style melody that sounds like Cat Stevens ‘Is Dog a Doughnut’ or something off McCartney 2. Final track Space Blues #2 is one of those tracks that is included just to make an album sound complete and is hardly a classic in it’s own right (yep, plenty of them around these days).

Each and every Primal Scream album thus far has captured a certain essence and spirit (lets forget about Sonic Flower Groove for now). Screamadelica was a reminder of those crazy acid days when people rediscovered dancing, Give Out But Don’t Give Up had stadium retro rock and roll plastered all over it, Vanishing Point had a road movie concept going for it (in dub!) and the aforementioned Xtrmnr became one of those rare monumental albums that told us how the youth are effected by cruel political movements. Evil Heat is a less compromised album because there’s little to relate to here, it’s just a downright dirty, claustrophobic, sleazy and intense selection of songs that offers little form of light relief, because its so twistedly engaging from start to finish that you cannot press stop on your CD player. This album captures the essence of pure, undiluted rock and roll rebellion better than any other album in a while, and in doing this Primal Scream have once again excelled themselves as the masters of truely great, exciting and uncompromised music.
