Notes: Interview featured in February 1999 - Pulp Magazine, see Ian Brown Media for the article.

1999 - When The Kingdom Comes Recording Sessions
When The Kingdom Comes (with Paul Weller)
Notes: From March 1999 - No Disco TV Show Interview with Mani:
M : "... I've written a song that sounds like The Who in 1964, a proper can't explain kinda thing, sounds good, yea... did another couple of like, punk rocky numbers... a dubby kind of number... what the other boys have got, I don't know... ya know, I've just committed my own stuff to tape and stuff... but I'm sure there's like, eh an old raging torrent of tunes just ready to cascade as soon as them doors are open... ya know, it's up to... ya know... let the legal eagles sort it out... I'm bored with all that legal shit now... it's wasted me too much time in the past... destroyed me whole band... I won't let it... I'm fucked if I'm gonna let it destroy the Scream... no way."
From September - October 1999 - On Target Magazine, Mani Interview: We've done a great song with Weller - it's the first time he's picked up a Rickenbacker since The Jam, so he says anyway. It sounds like a cross between 'I Can't Explain' and 'Fast City Rockers' (sings chord progression) a proper Mod song with a John Entwhistle bass solo from me (laughter) it sounds right that, you'll like it."

1999 - Strange Fire & Skill The Jam Tribute Recording Rumours
Notes: Oasis members Noel & Liam Gallagher both contributed, seperatley, to the LP. Ocean Colour Scene's Steve Craddock recorded a cover of Carnation with Liam, whilst Noel played a new arrangement of To Be Someone.
From September - October 1999 - On Target Magazine, Mani Interview: Have you had any involvement in The Jam tribute album? "Weller's good mates with the Scream so we'll probably cover something. I was such a fuckin' big fan of The Jam when I was a kid, it's good to have Weller as a mate now and all that. It's weird it's like 'fuckin' hell it's Paul Weller man'. I used to idolise this cunt years ago. Strange. Aziz (Ibrahim) who plays guitar in Ian Brown's band he's doing a solo thing and Weller's been working with him. They got me down the other week and Steve White on the drums and we bashed a couple out and we've got a couple more to do. That'll be interesting. I wouldn't mind working with Weller himself on some of his gear. I think he's got a couple lined up for me as well, we live in hope. That'll be an achievement for me - I've always wanted to work with him."

1999 - Primal Scream are in a contractual disagreement with publishing company Complete Music
Notes: The company was demanding the final LP of the contract was to be completed. Andrew Innes and Martin Duffy made 'Electronic Music For The Cinema' to finish the contract. Complete Music said the LP does not count towards the contract, despite releasing it and taking money from the profits. The publishers demanded a 'Primal Scream' LP to complete the contract.
I think Exterminator was the final LP which would release them from the contract? After leaving Creation, the band would sign to Sony.
From April 1999 - Leagues Mag: 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."

DJ Mani - 06 February 1999 Saturday - The Complete Stone Roses, Mean Fiddler, Dublin * Support Act(s): DJ Mani
Notes: Mani DJs as support for the tribute band. The show mentioned in 06 February 1999 NME Magazine and Mani is interviewed by Leagues Magazine, printed April 1999. See Primal Scream 1999 Media for the complete article.
From April 1999 - Leagues Mag: "It is pretty weird but I'm buzzing to see it because I've never seen The Stone Roses, you know what I mean. I first heard about Stone Roses tribute bands when the Scream played the SFX and I saw a poster for The Stoned Roses and I thought, 'I'd love to turn up at that and see their faces.' But apparently these guys tonight are good. Apparently they can play the songs really well, probably better than us at our most E'd up when we couldn't hit a note. They gotta be better than that man. I just love being out of the house. All I'd be doing now is sitting inside watching Casualty, waiting for Match of the Day, having a few fat spliffs. Listen, any chance I get to come 'ere mate, I'm having it. Last weekend we did Scotland and this weekend over here. More power to the Gaels, man."...The sight of 500 Stone Roses aficionados burning up the dancefloor to Northern Soul, rare groove, electro and funk records is odd, but it is Mani manning the decks and this man has considerable influence over these people. The Fiddler's backstage room is a heaving pit of bowl-headed adoration. Mani is the perfect host, signing autographs, shaking hands and greeting every "you changed my life" with "ha, go on out of that, mate". He finds a loose "eke" in his pocket and offers the remains of his supplies to his newfound buddies before exiting from the back-door where he stumbles and spills his records down the stairs. He leaves us, though, with one last thought for 1999.

March 1999 - Mani appears on "No Disco" TV Show
Notes: Mani Interview on Irish TV. See Media for complete article.
Broadcast: No Disc - Ireland TV?
From March 1999 - No Disco TV Show Interview with Mani: M : ".. yea, that's how LPs should be, it should take you somewhere ya know... click off the lights in your bedroom, bang yer feet up and light up a big fat one and just let the music take you somewhere... I mean, music that doesn't take you anywhere should be put up against a wall and shot, I think.. no, it's from the heart... where the Scream's concerned, the music's from the heart... we mean it... we really do mean it... and we're meaning it even more now..."
I : "Why are you skirting around it ?"
M : "Well we're in some contractual nonsense with this, Complete Music, the publishing firm who was over the boys before.. see eh... they reckoned we had one LP to do so Innes made a solo LP... electronic music for the cinema... Innes and Duffy made it, and that should have got us out of the deal, so we're free to negotiate another deal, but they're saying "no, it doesn't count" and stuff, but it does count... it was an LP of music man... and mighty fine music it was too..."
I : ".. and are they saying that just because Primal Scream wasn't written on the cover... "
M: "... yeah probably, that's probably it... it was by... "The Completion" it was called, which means the completion of the deal, ya know, and they're kicking off, but er... as soon as all this is sorted out, then we're away..."....

1999 - XTRMNTR Sessions
Notes: Primal Scream mixing sessions for the LP with Brendan Lynch. The band ask David Holmes and The Automator to mix some of the songs.
From September - October 1999 - On Target Magazine, Mani Interview: Is there a working title for the Scream's new album?
"Not as present. We wouldn't have a clue what we're gonna call it. We've been mixin' ourselves with Brendan Lynch who does Paul Weller's gear. We've farmed a couple of more dancier numbers out to like David Holmes and The Automator in New York and various other people, we're just letting people have a go again. We'll probably get Andy Wetherall to come and have a little blast at a few. It's sounding pretty similar to how Vanishing Point was - very fuckin' diverse again with some good tunes on there yeah, yeah. I'm excited again about music I really am - it's taken the Scream to do it again for me again after The Roses all fuckin' imploded an' that. I could have easily given up you know what I mean?"

30 September 1999 - Andrew Innes & Bobby Gillespie attends Iggy Pop in concert at LA2 (Astoria basement building) Charing Cross Road, London

From 09 November 1999 00:02 Tuesday - The Independent.co.uk (independent.co.uk) Review by Nick Hasted: Pop: Return to primal instincts. DEATH IN VEGAS SHEPHERD'S BUSH EMPIRE LONDON. DEATH IN Vegas's The Contino Sessions rounds off the Nineties just as Primal Scream's Screamadelica began them, with dance-rock'n'roll, a hybrid, open form expressed with the primary-coloured, slick style that has defined this decade's most confident music. Adopting Primal Scream's open-house policy to sympathetic collaborators - Dot Allison, Iggy Pop, Jim Reid and the Scream's Bobby Gillespie himself on The Contino Sessions - live, Death in Vegas maximise their basic principles. This is a late-Nineties soul revue, 40 years of rock'n'roll style machine- tooled into instantly identifiable sound and vision.
Visually, the evening depends on the spectacle of up to a dozen musicians ranged in front of rapidly changing projections, normal fare for dance acts, but constructed with unusual care by sometime visual artist, Fearless. "Dirge" begins with the suspicious sight of marching Nazis, but the footage mutates into freezing Soviet PoWs and liberating Allies; the sight of a strung-out Dot Allison at the front of a brightly lit stage with such images looming behind her can't help but thrill. Musically, soul dominates: Hammond organs, horns and a trio from the London Community Gospel Choir providing soothing harmonies on "Aladdin's Story" and the technoid stew of "Neptune City". It all sounds fine, undeniably. But it's hard to ignore how traditional the drums sound at even the most anthemic moments, how it falls short of inspiration.
There's an appearance by The Jesus and Mary Chain's Jim Reid to break the mood, looking wounded and weakened, uncomfortable in the spotlight so soon after his band's dissolution. But the real centre of the night, the bonding presence that provides a sense of community the Gospel Choir just can't, is the appearance of Bobby Gillespie. He's greeted as a conquering hero, appropriately - for tonight, we are in his world. Singing the apocalyptic blues "Soul Auctioneer" with rare conviction - his best lyrics and vocal in an age - the man so often derided as a magpie and chancer is a revered originator in this company. He comes back at the end, leading us in a near-wordless soul mantra, and we finish satisfied. What Death in Vegas are doing may be just a streamlined version of all that's gone before. But then, so has this decade. And really, it wasn't too bad.

The Scream’s new album Exterminator is due out this month, and the band are currently preparing for a world tour.

Alan McGee said: 'He's (Kevin Shields) joined the band. He just won't admit it'. McGee also described 'Exterminator' as 'the best album that Creation Records have ever put out'.
From 2001 I Am Without Shoes Exclusive Mani Interview: > IAWS: Favourite song on Xtrmnr and why? Favourite Roses song and why? Mani: Favourite song on Xtrmnr… well, I find it hard to say really. Pills maybe, just because I’ve never heard Bobby Gillespie rap before! And Accelerator, just for the instant blast, it sounds like a Stooges outtake. My favourite Roses song… I’ve got a soft spot for Mersey Paradise believe it or not, I don’t really know why. IAWS: Some great melodies, especially from Reni. Mani: Yeah, Reni was the unnoticed talent, he has a fuckin’ great voice, especially on that song. > IAWS: Do your kids prefer Primal Scream or S Club 7? Mani: Ha ha! Definitely Primal Scream - we whoop their asses! My kids got taste. > IAWS: Why is Xtrmnr so ace? Mani: Er… because it is! (Laughs). IAWS: Simple as that? Mani: Simple as that.
"XTRMNTR is a biting condemnation of government, capitalism, and complacency filled with both damning lyrics and beautiful noise. "Insecticide shots for criminal cops/All jails are concentration camps, all judges are bought," rails Gillespie on the fiercely funk title track.
Such diatribes are expressed over throbbing electro-funk rhythms, computerized firestorms, and impulsive stabs of free jazz -- imagine Rage Against the Machine as a techno band.
In contrast to Primal Scream's best-loved album, the definitive Madchester rave-rock platter 'Scramadelica' the angry XTRMNTR builds upon the urgency and claustrophobia of the band's 1997 album, 'Vanishing Point'.
"Blood Money" is a stealthy, horn-embellished instrumental that would have made the perfect soundtrack to a William Burroughs spy film. "Swastika Eyes" is a pulsing, industrial-disco barrage, and "Accelerator" sounds like the Stooges crossed with My Bloody Valentine -- in fact, MBV front man Kevin Shields provides production assistance on several tracks (as do the Chemical Brothers and the Automator), including the droning, mesmeric "Shoot Speed/Kill Light. Rarely have political albums sounded this disorientingly wonderful."
From The Independent (independent.co.uk) 07 November 2003 01:00 Friday by Steve Jelbert: "I just wanted to write about the culture, and make a record which felt like living in London or any big city. The paranoia, the claustrophobia and the concrete, the threat of violence, just the grimness of living in Britain, because I think it is a grim country. There's a sense of dread there. I guess it's construed as being political," he explains. "Much the same way as Metal Box by Public Image Limited still captures the end of the Seventies. Thatcher's coming in and you know it's going to be heavy. It's damp, wet - that's what that music feels like."

Notes: From 08 March 2000 NME Article "Mani ran into Brown at New York City's Soho Grand Hotel last Monday during the Primals' tour of US and told nme.com he'd love to work with him again. Mani said: "I went, 'No fucking way man, it's Ian Brown'. And we were just all, like, we embraced and even though we don't see each other in like a year, it's like we met yesterday." "I kind of miss working with the guy. If we wrote a song that merited an Ian Brown excellent vocal then, yeah man, he can do it. He's always been a funky monkey. He's working with a couple of really good programmers, you know, and more of a technology-based thing. It's something he's always wanted to do and I'm happy for him." Mani has also been in contact with ex-Stone Roses drummer Alan 'Reni' Wren who is working on getting a record deal with his new band. Mani played bass on some of Reni's recent demos, but it's highly unlikely he'll join the band."

11 March 2000 - Mani visits Wes Kent of Revolution Records, Diss, East Anglia
Notes: Mani confronted Wes regarding his recent feedback review of Exterminator. The industry questionnaire included a score of 0 out of 10, with Wes adding 'this record must have taken all of 10 minutes to record'. Primal Scream sent Wes postcards from several of their stop-off points during the recent Australian and Far Eastern tour. The band admired Wes for his honesty. Mani met Wes went out for a pint with him to discuss the review, Wes said: "I always say what I think, no matter who the band is."
From 23 March 2000 - NME article: PRIMAL SCREAM stopped off for a head-to-head with one of their fiercest critics during the first leg of their British tour - in a record shop in Diss, East Anglia. Mani popped in to 'have a chat' with Wes Kent of Revolution Records in the town following the band's show at the University Of East Anglia in nearby Norwich. The showdown had happened because in reply to an industry questionnaire - sometimes sent out when labels are searching for initial feedback to review copies of material - Wes had awarded 'Exterminator' 0 out of 10, adding 'this record must have taken all of 10 minutes to record'. Somehow Primal Scream heard about the slating and in response had been sending Wes postcards from several of their stop-off points during the recent Australian and Far Eastern tour.
The Eastern Daily Press, one of the region's newspapers, reports that the band had taken it all in good humour and were actually pleased to have come across someone who expressed their own opinion. "It must have been our worst review ever," said Mani. "So we wanted to come and meet the man himself. Everyone else has been saying how good the album was but Wes told it how he found it." But even after the meeting and being taken out for a pint, Wes remained unbowed, explaining that he would not review his grade. "I always say what I think," he claimed, "no matter who the band is."

Notes: John Peel Roadshow, BBC Radio1 FM. Turns out John was sharing the same hotel as Primal Scream in Newcastle.
"As you can tell, we're now in Glasgow. We have two favourite bars in Glasgow. We've been in the first and we're now in the second and unfortunately, I can't pronounce the name of the one we're in because it's in the Gaelic ... a fellow in a kilt has just gone by, which you don't see that often oddly enough. We checked out of the hotel in Newcastle and we were sharing the hotel with Primal Scream. The embarrassing thing being that a couple of them were at the reception when I went in, and of course I don't really know 'em (chuckles). It was only because someone had said to me outside 'Are you here to see Primal Scream?', which I obviously wasn't. So there you go, we have brushed, almost rubbed shoulders with the greats."

Bobby guests at the J Mascis And The Fog
No Fun (Stooges cover)
Notes: Ron Asheton, Stooges guitarist, and Bobb join the band n stage. Bobby sings with with J Mascis/Watt and Ron plugs in and gets loud. Bobby said an audience member spat at him during the performance so he wielded the mic stand as an axe towards people on the front row.
A J Mascis And The Fog/Stooges fan wrote "...The professional lithe spanner and pastichemonger (Gillespie) surprised and delighted us by making a guest appearance for a finale of the aptly named (in this instance) 'No Fun'. After yelping a bit and throwing his best Ig-shapes, he proceeded to swing the mic stand around his head and, hammer-thrower style, launched it into the faces of the people at the front of the crowd. Next, he brings it down axe-style onto someone's crown. Chaos and claret. The band played-on unperturbed. Mascis probably had his hair in his eyes, and Ron's gut was presumably blocking the view for the rest of the band (rest his soul). Bobby's justification afterward? Someone spat at him. Not pleasant, but the indiscriminate nature and disproportionate ferocity of his response has marked him out as a Grade A nasty for me ever since."

From 2001 I Am Without Shoes Exclusive Mani Interview: > IAWS: I saw you and Bez DJ at Ambitions in Oldham. I shook your hand while you were DJing and said ‘Thanks’. You looked a bit annoyed and looked towards Bez. So I’d just like to ask if you ever get sick of us lot bothering you for autographs and the occasional handshake? Mani: (Laughs). Worst part of the job mate(!) No, I love it, love meeting people, these are the people that make you, and you can feel the love they’re giving you.

From I Am Without Shoes Exclusive Mani Interview: > IAWS: Favourite gig in the Scream Team? Favourite gig in the Roses?

Some gigs you really enjoy, others you don’t… quite so much.

Notes: Organised by Mean Fiddler. The venue held 12,000 people, it was spread over 3 rooms. Line up included Asian Dub Foundation & DJ sets from Liam Howlett (The Prodigy), James Lavelle, Andrew Weatherall, Luke Slater, Psychonauts and Adrian Sherwood. Ian Brown meets James Lavelle of UNKLE, Ian would later record and work with UNKLE. Adrian Sherwood was DJing, Adrian responsible for the One Love remixes which featured on the Roses' Waterfall single. Andrew Weatherall, well known for remixing Primal Scream tracks, also spun some records on the night (despite not being on the promo poster). DJ Jon Carter was responsible for a remix of I Am The Resurrection on the 2001 The Stone Roses The Remixes CD.
Mani did not see Ian's set but they did meet up after the show.
From I Am Without Shoes Exclusive Mani Interview: > IAWS: First off, the Resolution gig at Ally Pally, how was it and did you bump into Ian Brown? > Mani: Yeah, it was good, great gig. I actually missed Ian’s set, it was pretty short and started quite early. We caught up with each other later on. Partied till the early hours after that…
Review by by Neko for Nekozine: 'It was supposed to be the party of the year: Resolution at Alexandra Palace featuring live performances by Primal Scream, Asian Dub Foundation and Ian Brown, plus DJ sets by James Lavelle, Jon Carter and, you guessed it, Liam Howlett, also refferrred to a 'Liam Prodigy'. There was no way I was going to miss this event, so I even interrupted my snowboarding holiday in Switzerland to go back for 2 days to London just for Resolution. So would my high expectations of this party and in particular Liam's DJ set get fulfilled? It's 9 pm on New Years Eve and we finally find the right entrance to get into Alexandra Palace, after walking up the hill all the way from Wood Green and walking around the building like 4 times in search of the entry for the press. Yes, I had got myself a photopass for the event, but, at the entrance I am told that as only artist there will be 'no photos' for Liam Howlett. Umm, ok then. I also get a list with the times, Liam will be on from 11.30-0.30, just before Primal Scream. This also means he will be on at midnight, at the start of the new year. We wonder what will he play at this point? Any special surprise at the stroke of midnight? As we get into Alexandra Palace is still pretty empty and James Lavelle is just Djing in the main room. We pay a short visit to the other 2 rooms, but they are so empty and cold that we don't stay long. The only DJ worth seeing in Room 2 would probably be Jon Carter, but unfortunately he is on at the same time as Liam ... After James Lavelle, Ian Brown comes on stage. At the front there is many Japanese people cheering to his set, but I am really not a big fan of him. Booooring, I need another drink! After Ian Brown has finished we go a bit to the front now, because after the 45 minute set of this guy called 'Curley', Liam will be on next! Curley's set is 'ok'...nothing really special. We're just waiting now. I had made a few flyers with the URL of my web site to give to people in case I bump into some Prodigy fans. So I ask some of the people around me: "sorry, are you here to see Liam Howlett of The Prodigy?", "no, I'm here to see Primal Scream", "Nah, Asian Dub Foundation", "Liam who?". I'll get rid of some of the fliers anyway. At 11.15pm suddenly Keith Flint is spotted at the back of the stage, and also Liam Howlett appears for the first time. The venue has become a bit more crowded now, and I also spot a few familiar faces that I've met at DJ sets before. At 11.30pm Liam starts his set with Rage Against the Machine's 'War within a breath', while his star studded following (half of All Saints, Donna Air, Keith Flint, Leeroy Thornhill etc) take place on the side of the stage. Next he plays a track I don't know, but very danceable with cool beats. Some people are starting to get into it, but there's just a bit too many Primal Scream fans pushing to the front. Fading into this unknown track are now parts from Meat Beat Manifesto's 'Radio Babylon'. This is my 10th DJ set of Liam and I'm pretty sure he played this track at each of them. Radio Babylon is followed by a really cool rock track, which I unfortunately don't know the name of either. Loads of cheering by some Prodigy fans as ex-Prodigy dancer Leeroy Thornhill jumps on stage to hand Liam a cigarette. nother unknown track then before Liam continues with Public Enemy's 'Welcome to the Terrordrome', another regular of his DJ sets. The atmosphere in Ally Pally is ok, but not too overexcited, it's a bit more crowded now and most people seem to be having a good time as the clock goes towards midnight. Another regular of Liam's DJ sets follows: 'Alarmclock' by Westbam. While he continues his set with 'Punk Shock' by Rasmus we realise that it soon is going to be midnight. A digital clock on the projectors next to the stage then starts to count the seconds backwards from 50 to 1. The audience is counting loud as the clock goes: "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!!!!!!" 2001! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! So, is Liam playing anything special at midnight? To many people's disappointment, nope he doesn't. 'Punk Shock' keeps playing and Liam seems a bit too, erm, occupied to care...During the last few bits of the set now Primal Scream already enter the stage and Mani is dancing around on stage to the last bits of Liam's set which is rather amusing to watch (see pic below). Spencer of the ProCON team also mentions to me that he thinks its time either Liam used some new records or cleaned his old one's, due to about 2 of his records he played were clearly skipping...But at Ally Pally the party continues now with the main act Primal Scream. As they start their set with 'Swastika Eyes' people keep pushing and we really can't be bothered to stay at the front anymore, although I really love the Primals. Instead I make finally use of my photo pass and enter the photo pit for the first 3 songs which is quite cool...'
