Spiritualized

[crownie]

dont seem to be to popular, but got 2 of there albums and they are sensational.
have a bit of modern pink floyd feel to them.

Great band. "Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in space" is a phenomenal record. Have found their stuff a little too overblown since then, but still pretty great. Similar to Mercury Rev in a way. Made a perfect record ("Deserter's Songs") and then went a little too overboard with their new sound. Not that I'm complaining too much.

 

[crownie]

yep, first was floating in space then i got "let it come down" and its more over blown ect, still really good.

 

[Shinboners]

I've got "Lazer Guided Melodies" and "Ladies And Gentlemen...." - both are pretty good albums when you're in the mood. If you're not in the mood, it can sound like glorified elevator music.

I also liked the pre-Spiritualized band, Spaceman 3. Check out the song, "Big City" for their finest moment.

time for a bump.

All of 'Ladies And Gentlemen...' live in NY. Almost two hours of pure awesome. Download link is here. http://www.ideensynthese.de/spiritualized/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9640

On Lazer Guided Melodies, it's a very good record...but the songs are done even better live. Smiles and Angel Sigh are a bit meh on the album...but on '****ed Up Inside'...oh god. Take Your Time and Shine a Light on Royal Albert are also much better than on LGM. Would love to see them live.

Ladies and Gentlemen... is one of my favourite albums ever.

Thanks for the link. I was at the Radio City show last week; it was fantastic.

Good result that Truck. NME(?) album of the year in 1997 from memory. I saw them perform the album at the tail end of last year in London - it was also a brilliant show, must have been a 30 strong group of musicians/singers on stage. Was a very appreciative audience indeed.

Lay Back in the Sun, off "Pure Phase" is still a favourite.

Saw them at Primavera in Barcelona last year. Top notch.

I went to the Opera House performance of Ladies and Gentlemen... with a gospel choir and orchestra and it remains one of the greatest live performances I have seen.

I haven't got any of their albums but they were absolutely amazing when they closed the ATP festival at Mt Buller.
