Acording to NME Primal
Scream are currently in the studio working on the follow-up album to 1997's 'Vanishing
Point' - their sixth studio album since 1987's 'Sonic Flower Groove'. Bobby Gillespie is
yet to reveal details but he joked that the band were also planning to make a road movie
in the style of the 1971 film Two-Lane Blacktop, which starred the late Beach Boys drummer
Dennis Wilson and singer/songwriter James Taylor.
Gillespie said: "We're getting into underground movies, man. It's going to have to
have somebody in it who doesn't mind not speaking very much because we haven't written a
screenplay yet. Like in Two-Lane Blacktop the dudes don't really speak much, they just
look cool. So maybe I'll do it."1999-03-24
Asian Dub Foundation plan to team up with Primal Scream to play another benefit show in
the summer for Satpal Ram, the Asian man jailed in 1986 for defending himself against a
racist attack. The two bands teamed up last March for a similar show. ADF bassist Dr Das
told NME: "We went to see Satpal recently and as
usual it was a really good meeting. He really inspires people, it helps us focus."
Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, Andrew Innes and manager Alex Nightingale visited Satpal
- who still protests his innocence - in jail recently. Gillespie told NME: "He was in good spirits and he just
wanted you to know as a result of the pieces you printed he's been getting a lot of
support from around the world." Since NME's last
piece on Satpal Ram, his case has been taken up by Amnesty and Birmingham Six lawyer
Gareth Pierce.
If you want to send a letter of support, write to: Satpal Ram, E94 164, HMP Frankland,
Brasside, Durham DH1 5YD.

Mani on the new album
What's the state of play with Primal Scream?
"We're in a bit of murky water at the minute with this publishing company who are
trying to screw us for another LP when we've already fulfilled the thing with them. So
once again it's this court monkey business that follows Gary Mounfield about, man. It's
put the breaks on it for a bit.
We've got songs but we're just a bit reluctant to record them just in case this label says
we want them now. We wanna get a new deal and then it's buzz for us. What we have written
is staggering. It's punk, rock, dub, The Who, The Stooges on "Raw Power",
everything. It's just a step on from "Vanishing Point" again. It's a lot more
experimental as well. That's what I like about it, it's dangerous."
I'm not sure when this article appeared, but it sort of contradicts the more recent news
about the Primes album coming out later this year.

Bob contributes on the new Death in Vegas album.
We've done a track with Bobby Gillespie on it and one with Iggy Pop. We actually wrote the
track 'Soul Auctioneer' with Bobby in mind and then we gave him a tape of it and he was up
for it. It's a quite dark track, it puts you in the mind of Dr. Octagon or
something."
The Death in Vegas album is called The Cantino Sessions and comes out in February/March
apparently.
