''Sonic Flower Groove'' is the debut album by Scottish indie rock band Primal Scream, released in 1987. ''Sonic Flower Groove'' featured psychedelic, Byrdsy jangle pop and was the only Primal Scream album to feature founder member Jim Beattie (credited as 'Jim Navajo'). The album sold well enough to reach number 62 in the UK Album Chart, but performed poorly by major-label standards.〔Strong, Martin C. (2002) "The Great Rock Discography (6th edition)", Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-312-1〕 The disappointment was a major reason for the original Primal Scream splitting up shortly after ''Sonic Flower Groove'', leaving vocalist Bobby Gillespie and the guitar duo of Andrew Innes and Robert "Throb" Young to reorganize the band. Mayo Thompson of Red Krayola was the producer of the album, after work with Stephen Street did not please the band.〔Green, Jim; Aswad, Jem & Neate, Wilson "(Primal Scream )", ''Trouser Press'', retrieved 2010-07-04〕 ==Critical reception== At the time of its release, critical reception was mixed. ''Underground'' called it "a real gem of a debut album" and "one that's sure to top all the polls come the end of the year", but others were less impressed. ''Melody Maker'' were impressed with "Gentle Tuesday" but said "the rest is not pop. It is dandelion fluff", stating that the album was "swamped with problems" with "no songs, just a dusty pile of dull leftovers".〔 A later Allmusic review called it "one goofy headscratcher of a release, the sound of a band that didn't quite know exactly what to do yet trying to record a big-budget (of sorts) debut album and ending up with little more than a pristine but dull photocopy of ''Turn! Turn! Turn!''".〔 In 2002, the ''Evening Times'' stated that it is "now regarded as a retro masterpiece".〔Middleton, Fraser (2002) "Explosive; THEY SANG ABOUT BOMBING THE PENTAGON, THEN IT HAPPENED.
