The song titles on the album, 'Moving On Up', 'I'm Coming Down', 'Loaded', mapping a raver's trajectory, this pioneering rock and acid house infused album (Primal Scream's third) was not only a milestone of their career, but one of the cultural events of the '90s. With Andrew Weatherall and erstwhile Rolling Stones producer Jimmy Miller at the controls the Scream settle into a hedonistic groove and soar, well, Higher Than The Sun. Essential. (J McN) (Mojo)
I got into this album after hearing Primal Scream's version of the 13th Floor Elevators classic 'Slip Inside This House'. The Jimmy Miller production credit also sold it to me. The album achieved lasting recognition in the early 2000's when it was featured on a series of stamps recognising the great British albums. C.B.
