began recording seventh album

In 2000, the band began recording their seventh album, Evil Heat , released in 2002. Though the political content was not as strong as the previous album, there was a song originally slated for the album entitled “Bomb the Pentagon”, which was reworked into the song “Rise” after the 11 September attacks . The album, like many of Primal Scream’s previous albums, had multiple producers. Shields produced several tracks, and Andrew Weatherall produced three tracks, his first work with the band since Vanishing Point . Kate Moss sang professionally for the first time with single ” Some Velvet Morning “, a version of the Lee Hazlewood/Nancy Sinatra song. The album also featured another guest appearance, Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant . In 2003 the double CD album Dirty Hits was released containing the better known works and some previously unheard versions and remixes of those tunes.
