Spiritualized - I Think I'm In Love


Time to sumuraize the festival with some pictures and a majestic cathedral of sound. That’s what many people associate with SPIRITUALIZED. Or, as bandleader Jason Pierce put it to New York Times last year when describing the latest album "And Nothing Hurt": “My original line, on the top of the recording list, was that it would sound like something that came from Columbia studios, but broadcast from a satellite.” There’s more to it though. For example, an almost reckless dedication, a deep understanding of music history that goes way beyond rock, affectionate songwriting and, of course, an unmistakable sense of space.

In 1992 SPIRITUALIZED, formed as an off-shot from SPACEMEN 3, released their debut album "Lazer Guided Melodies". In a review Melody Maker wrote: “The sound of heaven … at times, SPIRITUALIZED are making 21st Century gospel.” Seven more albums have followed, including 1997 classic "Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" where they collaborated with The London Community Gospel Choir and New Orleans voodoo funk maestro Dr. John.

Spiritualized did perform at 20.20 on Linné, Thursday Aug 8.

Here are some pictures from the festival, enjoy!

Today's tune "I Think I'm In Love" live at Metro Theatre in Sydney on 16 January 2009, the tune is taken from the third studio album "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space", released on 16 June 1997. The album features guest appearances from the Balanescu Quartet, The London Community Gospel Choir and Dr. John. The album's title is from the philosophical novel Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder, the context being:


Only philosophers embark on this perilous expedition to the outermost reaches of language and existence. Some of them fall off, but others cling on desperately and yell at the people nestling deep in the snug softness, stuffing themselves with delicious food and drink. 'Ladies and Gentlemen,' they yell, 'we are floating in space!' But none of the people down there care.
