The 4th and final studio album by Spacemen 3, is often considered the introduction of 2 brilliant solo projects (Spiritualized and Spectrum) rather than the work of a functioning band.
Rock critic Lester Bangs (cautionary warning: dead at 33 from an overdose of Darvon and NyQuil) wrote, 'In the beginning there was feedback: the machines speaking on their own, answering their supposed masters with shrieks of misalliance.'
Spiritualized's most celebrated album, and Kate Radley's last as a member, the core line-up added Damon Reece on drums as well as featuring contributions from Dr John, the London Community Gospel Choir, B.J Cole and 19 technical personnel.
This record is a step forward from Spiritualized's denser space rock of the first three full-lengths to a sweeping orchestral sound with large swaths of strings, brass and choir helping to fulfill the widescreen splendor.
