The most underrated band to have come out of England. They've saved my life climbing the walls, many a time. The lovely thing is, I am about the same age as JP and so as his music matured and got less space rock, so have my tastes, and as much as I adore this album and Laser Guided Melodies etc, And Nothing Hurt is my current favourite.
oops, i replied to the wrong message lol . but, while i'm here i say i agree. he really just stripped away some of the fuzz and psychedelia but, the core is still similar
🗣 *Spiritualized Will always to me be the original line up of ‘Sean Cook,Mark Refoy,Kate Radley’ backing Jason Spaceman!* *That lineup on the first 3 albums extraordinary & seeing them live from 92 to 97 were with that lineup = transcendental (adding acid blotters & other nasty addictions)* 💯🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
@@seamusmalarkey759 I'm actually interviewing Mads Bjerke (who mixed and engineered Pure Phase (as well as some other Spiritualized albums) on my channel on March 30th at 15:00 UK time if you're interested.
Fancy seeing you here, Chris! Haha My favourite will always be ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, We’re Floating in Space’. Came out in ‘97, and by that time, I could really relate to the subject matter. It’s certainly seen me through some dark times. At some point, when I’ve got the money, I’m going to buy the special edition with the individual cds in the blister packs. That how much it means to me. Take care mate.
This album was the soundtrack I had for part of my student days. This, "The Sky Moves Sideways" by Porcupine Tree, and "Leftism" by Leftfield, all came out around the same time. Each was in its own way sheer genius, and I spent a fair amount of time sitting on the floor in a grotty house, freezing cold, just floating on the sounds. Pretty sure it saved my sanity.
The albums you mentioned saved me in highschool. I would also add Lazer Guided Melodies, The Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation, Underworld's Dubnobass and Second Toughest albums, Orbital's Brown and Snivilisation albums and Smashing Pumpkins' first 3 albums.
I’m high too, I love big pharma, I wish you could still buy Tuinol and Quaaludes for cheap. I love 70’s style medicine, the synthetic chemical addictive mellow. Weed is just too much pure anxiety. Not cool with the killer fentanyl tho, Pharma could supply safer dosing and fuck with the cartels profit line + opiate scare is always the big drag forcing people into the dangerous and dirty shit made clandestinely.
Been Listening to Spiritualized for about 4 months now and loving their output. "The Slide Song" stands out for me on this one. "Let it flow" and "Electric Mainline" too. Great album!
I was a huge Galaxie 500 fan, and and Spacemen 3 too, then an acquaintance in my group of friends let me borrow a tape with their 2 first records, I didn’t want to give it back!
🗣 *That was a heavy monkey on my back throughout that decade & they were the soundtrack!* *I prefer the 12 inch 1994 release over the reinterpretation on the 2nd album!*
i like the new green cover honestly - it fits, this is a very green-sounding album if that makes sense (particularly on electric mainline, lay back in the sun, and the title track)
As a slightly synesthetic person, I totally get it! Seeing this particular shade of green and the ovular thing in the middle, on this cover, always makes me think of watermelons. It's that shade of green to me. And also because I usually listen to Spiritualized on the most brilliantly sunny days. Lay back in the sun and listen. It is euphoria ❤
🗣 *Great album been a fan since the breakdown of Spacemen 3 must of seen this band over 20 times during the 90’s but it’s the original lineup with ‘Sean Cook’,‘Kate Radley’ ,Mark Refoy that backed Jason Pierce that I remember & were the best sound that was Spiritualized!* *First 3 albums was them at their finest!* 💯🎵🎵
You're right, such a solid band and I'm happy I saw them as that group back then so many years ago. I love this album, it is incredible. I'm seeing Jason Spaceman's current Spiritualized tonight in NYC!
Here's my INTERVIEW with Mads Bjerke who engineered/mixed this album (it's quite the story) and some of Ladies and gentlemen. We talk about his career for a while but we soon get into the Spiritualized stuff: ruclips.net/video/nAlt1kEihzs/видео.html
One of my favourite albums ever! I have always wondered does anyone know what synthesizer was used on this album? Love that warping synth sound throughout the album.
I think it could almost be a farfisa put through a tremolo and a phaser, or at least I've got similar results that way. Would love to know what actually went on in the studio though
@@pickybleatinge3744 Def a Farafisa - but not phased digitally, they phased the whole album by tape - you want to know what went on - new interview published yesterday - mind blowing: thequietus.com/articles/30057-jason-pierce-j-spaceman-interview-spiritualized
@@lenini056 Jason Pierce from Specemen 3 is Spiritualized. He released the album 'Laser Guided Melodies' as Spiritualized after Spacemen 3 broke up, then this album.
@@DangerfieldChris I can confirm the process - I was the engineer that did it. Back in 1994/95 Geoff Travis (Rough Trade Records) connected Jason with Spring Heel Jack and myself (I was SHJ engineer at that time) and Jason explained that he had spent the budget on two complete album mixes, but wasn't happy. I had an Akai DD1000 4-track digital editing machine at that time and I put the mixes in - panning one mix to 7-1 o'clock and the other mix at 11-5 o'clock. This created an amazing stereo spread with all sorts of phasing and glued the mixes together. As the album was recorded on analog tape the timing would drift between the mixes. The mixes were done in different studios on different machines and that compounded the problem. I had to cut up the songs into 2 bar sections and retime one mix against the other. It took weeks. We also added new content to the mixes and the Pure Phase sound was overlapped in several places. Lay Back In The Sun was also recorded and mixed at this time. Jason was happy with the result and he and I went on to work together on Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space - Let It Come Down and Amazing Grace.
Funny thing is the ONLY time I like it is when the heroin isn't stealing all my emotions. This music is for feeling and heroin does not allow this. Heroin not only numbs your body, it takes your soul.
this is 'controlled chaos' in it's most perfected guise. no big studio tricks, deepdeepdeep lyrics and unreal production. 'ladies and gentlemen...' is this style perfected, but for it's first appearance in the sonicverse, this shit kills. 'here it comes and there it goes and it hits me takes me home...' at least we agree this cat kills, no?

@@Estorium I count myself so lucky i was around when all this amazing music in the mid 90`s was kicking off, wonderful memories!
mid 90s the best time of my life, Pure Phase forever

Pure Phase, the entire song is the beginning of “Transparent Radiation” of of “The Perfect Prescription”. I love it.
Spread Your Wings ❤️
Yes
It really is fucking perfect, aintit!?
Good dope good fun

The Slide Song is absolutely gorgeous, agreed. Oh and wouldn't you know it's just started.
This quality sounds amazing.
Absolute killer and criminally underrated ! 👍😎🍄🍄🍺🍺🍺

Remember Kate staring at me in one of the spiritualized concerts in 1991
You're right, such a solid band and I'm happy I saw them as that group back then so many years ago.
I love this album, it is incredible.

The amount of times I kicked with this on the turntable, flipping the record constantly as twisted my bedsheets into knots...
Excellent 💖

If I ever do heroin, would definitely take it listening to this record.
It's a good mix. But don't. I am in conversation with the mixer of this album here in a couple of hours: ruclips.net/video/nAlt1kEihzs/видео.html
Funny thing is the ONLY time I like it is when the heroin isn't stealing all my emotions. This music is for feeling and heroin does not allow this. Heroin not only numbs your body, it takes your soul.
