    Spiritualized "Sweet Heart Sweet Light" - 2012 LP

    Once upon a time....in a land far far away....the rain beat down for days in Norman, Oklahoma.  Being a junior at the University of Oklahoma I was at the height of my "culture seeking".  For most college students the Oklahoma rain and snow meant mud parties or the weed olympics.  For me it meant painting.  Feverishly painting and cranking new music.  I knew art was my ticket....My only salvation.....A dear friend of mine braved the weather conditions to bring me an album......After a couple Milwaukee Best he put on the record.  After 30 seconds I think I fainted.....What was this sound?  THIS WAS IT.....This is what i had been searching for!!! Finally in the middle of bum-eff Okie-homa I had fOUnd it....Or better yet, it found me......The album was Spacemen 3 "The Perfect Prescription" (proof good musack was made in the 80s).  I have ever since followed the career of Jason Spaceman intently.....So when he announced his new project Spiritualized back in the early 90s.....I was beyond stoked.  "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" is one of the greatest albums of the 90s (sorry grunge).  Up there with Nevermind......Spiritualized newest album "Sweet Heart Sweet Light" is the same psychodelic/entering heaven/retro rock/gospel/vein.....it's another gem:
