The Independent - London, June 24th, 2002
In nearly two decades of his performing, we haven't previously seen Bobby Gillespie looking like this. Appearing on stage wearing a white sports jacket over jeans, he might, perhaps, be aiming at the slept-in look of Neil Young circa Tonight's the Night, the sort of rock touchstone that Primal Scream so affectionately cling to. But as the singer, well, sashays across the stage to the thundering opener, new single "Miss Lucifer", arms swinging in an uncharacteristically co-ordinated manner, one can't help but think of, ulp, Bryan Ferry. Not that the Scream have gone all lounge lizard on us yet...
