Their 2001 album Get Ready largely departed from their more electronic style and focused on more guitar-orientated music. According to Sumner, ” Get Ready was guitar-heavy simply because we felt that we’d left that instrument alone for a long time.” Long-time fan Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins played guitar and sang backup on the track “Turn My Way”, and in 2001 toured with the band on dates in the UK, US, and Japan for a short period of time. Phil Cunningham (formerly of Marion ) joined the band in a live capacity, deputizing for Gilbert, who declined to tour in favour of caring for her and Morris’ children. Primal Scream ‘s Bobby Gillespie provided vocals on the track “Rock the Shack”. Singles from the album included ” Crystal “, ” 60 Miles an Hour ” and ” Someone Like You “.
