Spiritualized

To continue with the rediscovering my favorites theme that was in my last post, I figured it was time for some Spiritualized. Much like Godspeed, I discovered Spiritualized when I was taking my baby steps in to the world of not so radio friendly music. At the time I considered Spiritualized to be pure audio bliss and after trying this out again, my initial thoughts have stayed strong. Spiritualized songs seem to have three blueprints. 1) Songs that take heavy influence from Jason's former band Spacemen 3 and therefore have a heavy drone quality to them. e.g. "Electricity" 2) Slow paced romantic songs where it's hard to tell if Jason is singing about drugs or a woman. e.g. "I didn't mean to hurt you". 3) The up tempo, life affirming numbers that just throw good vibes everywhere. e.g. "Do It All Over Again". All three come togethor to make records of interesting diversity and incredibly good song writing.

Look out for a new Spiritualized release this year, it was due for last year but Jason got rather ill and needed to spend a few months in hospital. It wouldn't surprise me if the new release blows anything else from this year right out of the water.
