It is everything that one would hope for and expect of the successor to their last much lauded studio lp, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE. LET IT COME DOWN will be proceeded by a single, STOP YOUR CRYING, taken from the lp and scheduled for release on August 27th. The 11 song lp was entirely written and arranged by Jason Pierce and utilises some 100 musicians, including gospel and choral singers throughout the recordings. It was recorded initially at Air studios before moving to the renowned Abbey Road Studio Two where all the orchestral and choral recordings were recorded in live sessions, produced by J Spaceman and John Coxon. Recordings began at the end of 1999 and were completed at Abbey Road at the end the summer 2000. Once recording commenced, a new conglomeration of musicians was brought in who now comprise the present line-up of SPIRITUALIZED. Alongside Jason are keyboardist Thighpaulsandra and sax player Ray Dickaty who have been part of the group since the Royal Albert Hall show in October 1997. Sometime member and co-producer John Coxon also returns to the band playing guitar and keyboards. They are now joined by Doggen (guitar), Martin Shellard (bass), Kevin Bales (drums) and Tom Edwards (percusssion). A further five brass players will complete a new 13 piece band that will be touring the UK in the wake of the lp release. LET IT COME DOWN is the fourth studio lp from SPIRITUALIZED, following LAZER GUIDED MELODIES (1992), PURE PHASE (1995) and LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... (1997). It was LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... that was the breakthrough lp, topping most writers' and magazine end of year polls by the end of 1997 and becoming SPIRITUALIZED's first UK Gold record. Following its release, SPIRITUALIZED toured extensively including playing memorable shows at the Royal Albert Hall (October 1997), The CN Tower in Toronto (the official highest show on earth) and the World Trade Centre in New York (both in 1998). The Royal Albert Hall show was released as a double live cd/vinyl in October 1998. LET IT COME DOWN is the most song based lp yet from SPIRITUALIZED and represents a remarkable achievement by Jason Pierce in both writing and arranging an lp on such a vast scale. It represents more than a two year undertaking, from writing and notating the original songs, the recording process through to completion of the mixes in May 2001. The full track listing is as follows:- ON FIRE OUT OF SIGHT DON'T JUST DO SOMETHING THE TWELVE STEPS THE STRAIGHT AND THE NARROW DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOU STOP YOUR CRYING ANYTHING MORE WON'T GET TO HEAVEN (THE STATE I'M IN) LORD CAN YOU HEAR ME The first play of STOP YOUR CRYING will be on the Steve Lamacq show on Radio 1 on the 3rd July, after which STOP YOUR CRYING will be exclusively streamed from http://www.spiritualized.com -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 53.c210-85-66.ethome.net.tw
