Jason Pierce combines touches of gospel, the classical minimalism of Steve Reich and Terry Riley, and the swirling guitar rock of his old band, Spacemen 3.
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.
