]]> Fri, 05 Mar 2010 Silent Sound http://www.spiritualized.com/news/#166 Silent Sound by Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard
Music by J. Spaceman. Introduced by Dr. Ciarán O'Keeffe.

More info: http://www.silentsound.info

Silent Sound first took place in 2006 in Liverpool. There will be a second performance on Sunday 7th March 2010 in Middlesbrough at the gothic Town Hall.

Conceived by British artists Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard, Silent Sound is an otherworldly experiment using controversial mind control technology to transmit a subliminal message during a live music performance. The artists joined forces with J. Spaceman from Spiritualized, commissioning him to create a new composition for the project to carry their subliminal message.

Sunday 7th March
Doors 6.30pm

Middlesbrough Town Hall,
Albert Street, Middlesbrough TS1

Tickets £8, £6 concessions

Places are strictly limited.

Silent Sound sets out to warp your perception and stage a remarkable experience loaded with potential which intensifies your experience of being in the here-and-now. Drawing on the powerful psychological set-up of 19th century Spiritualist public performances and inspired by Victorian entertainers The Davenport Brothers who were famed for attempting to contact the souls of the dead using their ‘spirit cabinet’, the artists perform inside their own specially created soundproof cabinet. From the stage inside their cabinet they repeatedly broadcast a spoken 'message', this signal is fed into a custom-made Silent Sound machine, which subliminally embeds the message within the music and transmits it throughout the performance.

The event will be recorded live and a limited edition CD will be available.

Silent Sound 2010 is part of the AV Festival

]]> Wed, 16 Sep 2009 Ladies And Gentleman press release http://www.spiritualized.com/news/#158 ‘LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE’

Release Date: November 16

Label: Sony Music


“This album is so precise and everything on it sounds amazing; it's arranged so nicely. Jason Pierce is a genius”
Ben Goldwasser, MGMT

“I had a job cleaning a private golf course from 4am to 6am. My boss was a fucking idiot.
What got me through that job was listening to [Ladies and Gentlemen]”
Guy Garvey, Elbow


Spiritualized will re-issue their classic album ‘Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space’ on Monday 16th November on Sony Music.

The album release co-incides with the upcoming live performances of the entire album; part of All Tomorrow’s Parties  ‘Don’t Look Back’ series, as previously announced. The band were approached two years ago to perform the album live on its 10th anniversary.  It took a while for  J.Spaceman to finally agree to the idea. ‘It was a decision made at altitude’ he says referring to being on top of Mt. Buller in Australia at the time. The live performances will see the regular band augmented with strings, brass and choir.

It is now 12 years since ‘Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space’ made a profound impact in the summer of 1997, both critically and commercially, with its psychedelic soundscapes and heart-rending lyrics. It has influenced a whole range of musicians ever since. It was NME’s album of the year for 1997 and reached No.4 in the official charts.  Originally packaged as a giant pill offering a written prescription, the concept was creatively inspired reflecting the depth of emotion and trauma laid bare on this truly remarkable work.
 
The album will be released with new artwork on special limited edition formats with bonus content. These bonus tracks were in storage and subsequently forgotten about until Jason Pierce moved house and discovered the ‘lost’ recordings from 12 years ago. The tracks give a valuable insight into the artist’s work-in-progress – demos, instrumental versions, sessions mixes – and highlight an aim for perfection prior to recording the definitive version.

The formats include:

The Collector’s Edition. This will include 12 x 3” Mini CD’s of the complete full album track-by-track, an homage to the original release. This will be accompanied by 2 bonus discs (as per tracklisting below). Only 1,000 of these sets will be made, making these extremely limited.

The Special Edition will include the original album in the legendary and unique pill pack style packaging, alongside the 2 bonus discs. This Special Edition will also will be a limited, one-off release.

The original album with new artwork and a revised version of  opening track ‘Ladies & Gentlemen’ (now including “Can’t Help Falling In Love” as originally intended for this album), will also be released as a Standard 1CD Version.
