Okay, so we\u2019re naturally doing it through a screen, and getting the astonishing Western Australian sea views of Tame Impala mainman Kevin Parker\u2019s home Wave House second hand \u2013 but there\u2019s a palpable air of anticipation from the ever-growing list of excitable live comments coming in at the side of the screen from other fans. We can\u2019t quite figure out how to turn this off, but it only enhances the experience. Audience chatter, eh? Takes you back. We\u2019re all gathered &#8220;here&#8221; to witness a live stream of a very special Tame Impala gig celebrating the 10th anniversary of psych-prog behemoth debut album <em>InnerSpeaker<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 to be played tonight (or early morning) in full, live and very loud. The camera\u2019s on, there\u2019s a bit of crackling, amp noise and some \u201cIs this on?\u201d chat from the band and then they pile into the swirling intro of &#8216;It Is Not Meant To Be&#8217;. Considering the changing cast of live Impala members and the ultra-processed, spacey sonics that Parker has spent over a decade lovingly knitting together \u2013 it\u2019s quite remarkable that Tame Impala sound exactly like Tame Impala should with seemingly no outside influence. The location obviously helps. It\u2019s not just the views from Parker\u2019s home and the ridiculously cool decor. (Our online editor Ben is watching as well, and we both agree that our Ed-in-chief should make Kevin an offer on Wave House for a <em>Shindig!<\/em> summer holiday home. How about it Jon? Jon? Come back\u2026). Wave House was of course where large swathes of <i>InnerSpeaker<\/i> took shape. As spiritual homes go, it\u2019s pretty spectacular. The next hour is an intimate experience. Parker grooves against the ever-darkening skyline, peeling off scalding space-rock riffs and delicate lysergic guitar peals. The professional camera and sound crew aside, it\u2019s like eavesdropping on a really great band practice. There are occasional guitar farts and bursts of feedback between songs but the performances themselves are sharp and super-focused. It\u2019s rare to see Tame Impala do a whole album live in sequence, but <i>InnerSpeaker<\/i> really works live. There\u2019s no jamming, it\u2019s all economically done but it\u2019s still blast off after blast off. &#8216;Desire Be Desire Go\u2019 remains a ferocious beast, like the 1967 Nazz firing into a wind tunnel. Every now and then, rather endearingly, you see a cameraman slip a prism filter onto the lens just to make things that little bit more psychedelic. Reaching the back end of the album, \u2018Bold Arrow Of Time\u2019 is even heavier than the brilliantly sludgy original, while \u2018Runway, Houses, City, Clouds\u2019 is a kaleidoscopic, echoey ride powered by Jay Watson\u2019s propulsive drums. Finishing off on a crunching \u2018I Don\u2019t Really Mind\u2019, we\u2019re quickly then back at the front door of the website after an exhilarating hour of big melodies, proggy noodling and pummelling riffs<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">It\u2019s a potent reminder of just how strong a debut Innerspeaker was.
