When Spiritualized’s Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space album came out in 1997 it was a definite moment in the growth of my musical appreciation. I pulled it out of the pile somewhat randomly this evening and listened to it for the first time in years, but it still works. Apparently this version, packaged like a giant pill-box such as you might get from the pharmacist, is a ‘Special Edition’ and might well have been worth something in 2025 had all that careful replica packaging not been ravaged by repeated plays down the years. Digging it out was the most interesting thing I did today, anyway.
