J. Spaceman spent years to follow up Spiritualized's debut with this album, and his time was well spent. The album manages to place steady rockers (Medication, These Blues) next to sweet ballads (Slide Song, Let it Flow, All of my Tears), but it never sounds forced or out of place. The second half of the album shows more diversity and songs like Feel like Goin Home evoke Jason Pierce's drone-centric days of Spacemen 3. Lay Back in the Sun is an all out, balls to the wall anthem to chemically induced space outs. Those crazy Brits are sometimes a quite pretentious bunch (see Oasis, the Verve), but Spiritualized manage to avoid those pitfalls and put out plain good music.
SPIRITUALIZED - These Blues
live in 1995 on the pure phase tour opening for the banshees
check out kate Radley taking over Sean Cook's bass as he wails out the harmonica
SPIRITUALIZED - Medication
live in 1995
The line 'Everytime I say this I just know this time I mean it, but a feelin deep inside says it's ok one more time' is just genius & so true it's unreal
SPIRITUALIZED - Electric Mainline
LIVE IN 1995
This melodic jam has a transcendent power somewhere between a religious revival meeting and a really good acid trip
