As usual with Jason Peirce, be it in Spacemen 3 or Spiritualized, when you start to listen to one of his works is like stepping into a vessel that will take you on a long trip and will you leave somewhere. Even if you are left close to the departure point you will feel far away, transfixed by the experience. That is the case of the most recent work of Spiritualized, "Sweet Light Sweet Heart", composed while Jason was doing liver medication, that left in mental the state that he translated into the expression "huh?", that appears on the cover.
The album was inspired by the experience of playing live "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are floating in Space" and was played entirely in his show in the Royal Albert Hall in November 2011 (that I, for some stupid reason, missed, although I was in London at the time). The official video for the first song, "Hey Jane", is not for everyone...
Although not universally acclaimed, this is one of the albums of the year to me.
