Good stuff!

Wow! Just wow!

What a complete cunt. Begging for work on twitter and tells a fan to fuck himself. He's definitely a legend in his own head.

Almost sounds like a bit of a throwback to some of the middle eastern themes from Naveed.
Sounds quite simple, but I imagine a lot of depth/layers are lost in live performance compared to production.

Raine Maida is doing an AMA on reddit. Pretty much confirmed Mike Turner was involved on SMII

"Mike smith is bubbles no? Did you mean Mike Turner . Yes we speak and Spiritual Machines 2 would’ve be right without Mike involved"

Thoughts on "Spiritual Machines Acoustic Live"? I love the ethereal feel, the atmosphere of the music, the production of the instrumental track... but I gotta say Raine's frankly shoddy vocal work almost ruins the songs for me. Maybe I'm being harsh, but it feels like he's either not trying or has ...

Fair warning, this is about 2.5 hours long. However, it is a great abridged version of Mike's life and his times with OLP, Fair Ground, Crash Karma, as well as his endeavors at Pocket Studios, and his current role in mixing live recordings ...

So Jeremy went on another tirade on Twitter last night.

https://twitter.com/Taggart7/status/1365497094149206020?s=19

The whole tread is laced with cringey replies of Jeremy stating his feed is his "reality" but also being super vauge and criptic with his responses when people ask him directly ...

I had to unfollow him. Just can't take the nastiness anymore.

He really comes across as a bipolar/alcoholic type, very narcissistic (and yes, I'm sure a lot of famous musicians are), and he just can't let things go. Very bitter.

For a guy whose career was made by a couple older musicians giving ...

Jeremy is getting roasted on twitter right now.

Serves him right imo. He does more than his share of chirping.

Olive branch or more bitterness?

I wish he had a stronger role with olp. Talent for days! First time I heard of him was supes dead live on much music.

The more I've analyzed over the past couple days, I've come to the conclusion that it's the vocals. I really want to love Wipe That Smile but Raine at the end just ruins all that it was building to for me. I always had a soft spot for Love and Trust but even it irks me nowadays. Raine's voice ...

Maybe it's because I've recently listened to the album in it's entirety. Boy and world on a string are a bit weak and out of place, but I enjoyed how the music flowed from one song to the next. The vocals and lyrics are low point, but the music is solid. Picture and apology are amazing jams that I ...

I've followed OLP since '95 and Naveed is still my favourite album, but HIPT doesn't get enough credit.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd put it above Burn Burn, Curve and Gravity.
If I'm being completley honest, and I might get some heat for this, but I think Clumsy isn't as strong of an album as ...

Apparently Raine and Mike still communicate.
Take that for what it's worth.

honestly this is shocking to me.... in a good way, but shocking. and to hear raine say it in his own words, on his official twitter. wow.

it makes me a ...

Doing an album called SM II without Mike is very, very odd to me.

however not unexpected.... raine's ego is a force to be reckoned with

I don't pretend to know whether mike or raine are better or worse human beings than each other, and I only became a fan after mike left and never got to meet ...

Follow up album to spiritual machines maybe? They've vaguely teased about it since somethingness.

Taggarts twitter is a disaster. He goes on about being better, being a bahd and canadianity etc. Then every other tweet after that is shitting on everybody else.

Bitter little man.

Cant find Canadian version anywhere. Even on the links that say Canadian, the American version plays.

What gives?

Yeah, become a bitter little man. Does a lot of chirping on Twitter. Needs a haircut and a shave he looks like a homeless man.
