Very shocked to hear this. Anyone with a love of Dance music will know who Weatherall is.
The Primals owe their career to him for the work he did on Screamadelica, easily one of my favourite albums of all time.
RIP Andy

Yes, I saw this on the BBC News page last night, and it wasn't really what I wanted to hear just before I went to bed. It is quite poignant that his death has occurred within days of the 30th anniversary of Primal Scream's 'Loaded' entering the charts. This was a track that made a huge impression on me at the time, and was quite unlike anything else amidst the synths & drum machines we had been tolerating - maybe the groove of baggy had arrived a few months previously, but this put the soul, and a flowing bass-line, into it as well. Eighteen months later, I was also bowled over when 'Screamadelica' arrived - I recall Radio One reviewing it on the Evening session, and I thought "this is something else"  . In time, I learned that Andrew Weatherall was involved - he was one of the DJ/producers with an air of mystery about them (William Orbit, Paul Oakenfold, Norman Cook and Stephen Street were others) who we were vaguely aware of without realising they were behind many of the records that we liked, and over quite a long period. R.I.P. Andrew Weatherall. |
