There's been a lot of talk regarding the fantastic Satanic Sessions box sets recently and I thought it would be a good idea to have the stuff about it and the satanic majesties album itself in one thread. A kind of less organised version of with sssoul's galant and vital ratbag boogie thread!

For years I have ignored ‘Their Satanic’, but ever since I am listening to the 8 CD set of outtakes: man, what an ENCREDIBLE album! The Stones didn’t change direction with Beggar’s, they already did with Satanic. At least, that is true if they would have stuck a bit more to the outtakes. As it seems to me now, Satanic is a bit spoiled by endless overdubs of the weird&wonderful.

All tracks seem to be from a chore band of Keith Richards leading the band and Nicky Hopkins on piano and Brian Jones on Mellotron. I think all songs are truly written by Keith, as they are based on his guitar riffs (with Citadel a truly classic riff, as big as Jumping Jack Flash). Even the Brian Jones classic ‘Gomper’ turns out to be a song centered on Keith’s riff on the 12-string, and Nicky and Brian’s addition on dulcimer and piano. Brian’s main instrument seems to be the mellotron. About all strings, brass, mandolin and what more instruments seem to be from Brian’s mellotron. What makes it really a classic album is Nicky Hopkins piano and harpsichord additions –that man truly is a genius.

Once you listen to the outtakes you really start to appreciate the album much more. If only they didn’t indulge in endless noodling with the overdubs and kept the jamming parts to a minimum, this album would have been a much stronger rock album.

Thanks for that. I'm hoping to find some mp3s as I don't know what to do with "rar" (help?).

I've replied on the download thread and provided a link for you that should help.

I'm going to see if I can manage to upload this stuff(or atleast some of it) on to esnips, where you can listen online via it's player and download each mp3.

I really like having clips handy online!

It takes aaaaageeessss to upload though, especially when your pc is as crap as mine!

It is a good Idea indeed.

Mathijs, nice to hear it's grooving you.
I'm not half way through downloading it.

A friend burnt me a sample of Satanic outtakes,, but I haven't heard this box. I do agree there is a great album in Satanic, and its easy to get distracted by the silliness, i.e. "See What Happens". some of the in between song bits, etc. But the songs are not simply of their era, they have the usual Stones' eye perspective - humorous, ambivilant, distant, ironic, sardonic. And they are very good songs, 80% of them...Brian's last major contribution on an album scale, the remaster (or the MOFI vinyl) shimmers, and it for me bridges the Buttons/Flowers/Dandelion/We Love You era with Banquet/JJF...Despite its otherwordly aspects it has some surprisingly rootsy music - the psych/Bakersfield (w/bluesy intro) 2000 Man, the North African firelit ambience of Gomper, Citidel - fantastic of course, Roxy made another classsic (Streetlife) with its riff, but it could have been a hit a la JJF (imagine J Miller produced). The album radiates forward momentum, an openness to experiment & the talent to make it mostly work.

Like Glam I also got lost in rar crap. Isn't there just one simple one step way to get this set again?

Im so glad you guys opened a thread to the unseen brilliance of this album and its outtakes- i bought it a few years back because it was £7 and i thought "oh this is that weird Sgt. Peppers rip-off [thats what the couldnt give a damn music journalists taught me- i should never have listened!] i'll give it a try even if its meant to be crap"

lo and behold it has actually become one of my favourite albums of recent months, even my friends absolutely love its other-worldliness, and it is so much more than just an answer to the Beatles..its very dark and foreboding in places!

For some reason unknown to me Keno's site is used an awful lot as a reference, but unfortunately his site is so awfully full of mistakes....

Great pictures majesty! Never seen them before!

A few months back I was reading excellent track-by-track notes for these boxes. Just yesterday, I was going to attempt to make a one-CD best of the sessions, but I lost the damn notes. Anybody have a link to them?

Later, I will post my track list for the best of.

thanks,

RAR - problems? RAR is a kind of ZIP-format, and it works exactly the same. Just google it, download and install. You can richt-click the rar-file and choose where to extract... done! There are free trial versions for thirty days, but they never expire...

There are many versions: rar for windows, rar for something else, and win-rar (another version for windows). This is a link to a site where you can download rar for windows for free: [www.winrar.nl].

Two point to keep in mind: in the installation, you can probably choose which file types should be associated with rar: uncheck them all except for .RAR. Not 100% sure about that anymore, but take a look at it. Second: you are asked which items should be added to your regular right-click options-menu (you know, the menu where you can choose copy, cut, paste, rename, etc) You can just uncheck all those options if you like. Good luck!

Jelle, do you mean right click the file after you down;oaded it?

Yes, that's it!

1. Download in install RAR
2. Download the desired .rar file to your computer
3. Right click and choose an option: 'extract to...', or 'extract here'.
4. Start winamp and do not forget to turn up the volume...

PS sometimes ZIP or WINZIP is also capable of extracting RAR archives, but I can be wrong here... not sure, but it's worth a try?
