I'm vaguely surprised they're not up your street. They're like the acceptable child of smack-addled prog. -- ogden

Cool, but I've never heard of them! I'm just listening to Rebuilding the Wall[1] at the moment; I might google some Spiritualized stuff after that.

On a similar note, I see the best odds on RATM winning the chart battle are 1/18 vs 4/9 for Joe McWossname. They think it's all over... -- ogden

Ladies and Gentlemen... is their magnum opus, but they have some great tracks going back to Pierce's previous band, Spacemen 3. The best introduction to the first three albums is the Albert Hall live album from '97. One of the best gigs I've ever been to (albeit it in Birmingham on the same tour). Think I'm In Love, Medication, Shine a Light and Stop Your Crying are standout tracks generally. -- ogden

For varying values of standout, yes. I'm not sure what the non-standout ones are like! -- Chris |
