2021 Charity Shop Purchases 13 - Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentelmen We Are Floating in Space
Confession time . Although I have heard of Spiritualized I only have the odd download here and there and have never given them a proper listen. I know that many of my blogging colleagues hold them in high esteem so I thought when I saw this, their 3rd studio album from 1997 on the Dedicated label, that I should bite the bullet and buy it for a pound to see what all the fuss was about
I was a wee bit apprehensive as first as I thought it just might be loops and squiggles and repetitive electronic bleeps. I was pleasantly surpried to find that I was wrong. There are tunes there, and pretty good tunes at that, albeit that is still the occassional blast of superfluous white noise here and there.
It is one that I envisage playing often to make up for lost time and will by keeping my eye out for others from them.
I await a slew of comments saying "I told you so", "about time to"and "where have you been for all these years"

ReplyDeleteNot from these parts, and I bought this on its release
No more than I deserve
Deleteand my copy came in the most annoying non-cd case imaginable, you got the cd out as if getting a paracetamol out. Bloody annoying
DeletePotential series there CC! Stupid bloody album album covers, No 2 Sticky Fingers and that stupid zip
DeleteNo. 3. Anything with Sting's pus on it!
DeletePierce's last album "And Nothing Hurt" is wonderful but to be honest all of the albums are well above average. Seek out the "Elvis" version of the opening track of LAGWAFIS. The Presley estate objected to the King being associated with any drug references.
ReplyDelete'loops and squiggles and repetitive electronic bleeps'- you make this sound like a bad thing
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough your name popped into my head as I was typing that SA!
