6th January: Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space (neo-psychedelic
space rock, 1997)
I had a moment listening to this one last night. On a late-night walk around my earthquake-
ravaged hometown, I walked into the grounds of my old primary school, just as "Broken Heart"
came on. It turned a relatively harmless walk down memory lane into something quite
poignant. There's a street that runs through the school grounds - a scarcely used,
relatively useless street that they close when the school is on. We used to play there, on
this bit of road sealed off with gates. I stood there, strings swelling and ever so
powerful, looking around - the buildings that survived the earthquake, the field that was
grass that is now astroturf, the tree I that I referenced in one of my own songs about
nostalgia, and all the new buildings that came up after the earthquake that I don't
recognise. I'm not sure I would have had that moment with any other song.
There are parts of this album that don't really click with me, but there are a handful of
truly exceptional moments that raise it up a lot in my evaluation. Even the long and over-
repetitive sections are often built around an enjoyable musical idea - and for a neo-space
rock album with multiple drug references, it is actually fairly diverse. Sometimes I put it
on and forget about the great sections, because they really do sneak up on you a bit.

I'm an art rock post-rock racecar driver flying in a stable orbit. All systems are a green. We are go for Spiritualization.

A grower, perhaps, and an album I wish I could like more than I do. When it's slow and melodic, it's very pretty and a hazy type of mellow that reminds me of Blur's later work a lot (see: Come Together & the title track). I do think it gets a bit weaker near the end, and I get the point of making things more experimental and challenging at that point, but it's still not as pleasant. A good, enjoyable record nonetheless.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's Jason Pierce and his band Spiritualized, with this legendary classic, that could make you float in space.

Though it's nearly sabotaged by the sad sap subject matter, the cohesive flow and super thick sound win me over. Symphonic and massive, but not above relying on simple arrangements and blaring horns&noise for effectiveness.

I gave it a proper listen and it blew my mind, there is so much that you may miss or not notice when you listen through speakers rather than headphones
