Steve Lamacq plays Screamadelica in full to mark thirty years since its release.

Released on 23rd September 1991, Screamadelica was Primal Scream's third studio album. Heavily influenced by the acid house scene, the record was produced by the late, great Andrew Weatherall, who remixed original recordings made by the band into dance-oriented tracks. The ambition was clear from the first single Loaded, released early the year before - the band's first hit single. It features dialogue and vocal samples lifted from Peter Fonda in his 1966 film The Wild Angels, The Emotions' I Don't Want to Lose Your Love and a drum loop from an obscure Italian bootleg remix of Edie Brickell & New Bohemians鈥� What I Am. The following single, Come Together, also charted, and suddenly they could afford to buy an Akai S1000 sampler - which helped to form the sound of the upcoming record. The album covers the feeling of a big night out, so big that it's lasted all weekend - something to which the acid house crowd could relate to. Featuring fragments of rock, blues, jazz, gospel and country, the album was named by Melody Maker as the finest of the year and has only grown in reputation of the subsequent years. In 1992 it won the inaugural Mercury Prize, ahead of records by the likes of Saint Etienne, U2 and Erasure.
