PRIMAL SCREAM: BEAUTIFUL FUTURE (B-Unique Records) **
Whither Primal Scream. Uptown and single Can’t Go Back demonstrate their career-long ability to write elegant, haunting pop that’s all their own. They cover Fleetwood Mac’s Over And Over with feeling and Bobby Gillespie sings it like Gram Parsons. But it’s always their stab at socio-political commentary that lets them down – witnessed on the excruciating Zombie Man and Suicide Bomb.
