Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, Spiritualized®




Some snow/space music for you.

Really, this is one of the most phenominal albums I think I've ever heard. These guys have been around since 1990, but Jason Pierce has been the only constant member since. Who cares though, when Pierce does a perfectly good job of writing, composing, and singing all of the band's material?

"Please read this leaflet carefully before you start to take your medicine. If you have any questions or are not sure about anything, ask your doctor or pharmacist."

This album really is just like taking a bunch of drugs. Especially their seventeen minute song called "Cop Shoot Cop," (my favorite) which is like overdosing on heroin. They know it too, and one reason I recommend buying the album is the inside packet, which folds out and is written just like instructions for taking medicine, which is described as a "white tablet marked 07822-18974-2." According to the leaflet, Spiritualized is used to "treat the heart and soul."

When should you be extra careful while taking Spiritualized?
If you are taking any other medicines, including those not perscribed by your doctor. This is extremely important, as using more than one medicine at the same time can strengthen or weaken the effect of the medicines involved.

If you drink alcohol regularly or use recreational drugs.

Important: Spiritualized may effect your ability to drive or operate machinery; if affected you should not drive or operate machinery. This may be made worse if you take alcoholic drinks.

What are the possible side effects of Spiritualized?
You may become a little forgetful or experience memory loss.

Some of the effects of Spiritualized may last into the following day. These include sleepiness, unsteadiness and you may stagger when walking. Elderly people may become confused. If this happens tell your doctor and he/she may decide to change your dose.

In rare cases, sudden anxiety, delusions, excitation, sleep disturbances and amnesia may occure. If these symptoms occur, you must inform your doctor. He/she may want you to stop taking this medicine.

As with other medicines, some unwanted effects can occur. These may include: delirium, a sense of intoxication, visual and auditory hallucinations, euphoria, fever, cold sweats, slurred speach, numbness of the extremities, lack of coordination, stupor, memory loss, bloodshot eyes, mental detachment, paranoid psychosis, temporary paralysis, jerky eye movement, imbalance, sense of well being, purposeless movement, lethargy, dizziness, visual disturbances, palpitations, disorientation, confusion, personality change, arrhythmia and changes in the level of sexual desire.

Large doses can lead to loss of consciousness, convulsions or coma.

In cases where Spiritualized is used over a long period of time, dependence may occur.

If you are concerned about these or any other effects, talk to your doctor.


Yeah. Exactly.

Side note: Don't bother downloading this if you are just going to put it on your ipod, forget about it, and put your ipod on shuffle. Listen to it straight through, ok?

Highly recommend going to one of their shows if you catch one, I hear they put on a real great show.
