spiritualized - hey jane [director ag rojas released this disturbingly compelling 10 mins character study of a transgender girl just trying to make a living on the streets about 2 months ago (which kind of missed my radar, but better late than never!). of course things get pretty dark by the end and well... i swear this could easily be expanded into a sundance level indie film. really quite brilliant.] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

Steve Double Whenever an old/classic album is reissued these days - which is pretty much every day - it's inevitably advertised as having been remastered, and it's assumed that that's a good thing. And not unreasonably - when a lot of these albums were originally released on compact disc, they were poorly converted from analog to digital and could generally sound thin/quiet/uninspiring. But remastering is no guarantee of improvement - at best, things will sound incredibly better (the 20th anniversary redo of The Stone Roses' debut by original producer John Leckie is a revelation), [...]

La portada del nuevo disco de Spiritualized ha dado mucho de qué hablar desde que se dio a conocer. Hay quien la relacionaba con algún tipo de símbolo relativo a la medicina o a la salud y también quien la interpretaba como una simple tapa provocativa y burlona. En realidad, creo que ambas opciones pueden combinarse y podría sacarse una conclusión válida para explicar la razón de ser de este diseño. Jason Pierce , el líder de la banda, está viviendo una etapa complicada. Mucho ha cambiado desde los años 80, en los [...]
April 2012. Coachella happened... twice . Kanye West dropped a single... twice . Lana Del Rey collaborated with the internet's most buzzed about rapper... twice . Our favorite album of the year was seriously threatened, if not dethroned... twice . It was a busy month, and it was fun.

Pain makes you beautiful. I first became aware of that phrase when the Judybats used it as the title to their 1993 album, however, the more I think about it, no other phrase seems to capture the art of Spiritualized 's Jason Pierce so succinctly. It would be awfully curmudgeonly not to find a little beauty in the music of Spritualized – dense 100+ member orchestras, celestial arrangements, lush vocal chorales. Pierce's output via Spiritualized is often nothing short of transcendental. His music is a roadmap for an exodus from pain, be it the anguish of adolescence [...]
Para analizar el momento en que se hizo este nuevo disco de la banda de Jason Pierce, tal como un medicamento, vamos a sintetizarlo en tres compuestos o variables en este caso. Uno: La gira conmemorativa por la reedición de Ladies & gentlemen…we are floating in space (Arista, 1997), lo insta a crear un trabajo similar a su obra magna, retomando la opulencia de esas composiciones sinfónicas. Dos: La gira y la grabación del nuevo disco se detienen por una enfermedad degenerativa del hígado y posterior tratamiento con quimioterapia. El fantasma de la muerte [...]
Jason Pierce (you can call him J. Spaceman) is a dying man. He's had his lungs filled with liquid, his heart gave up on him twice, and more recently, he told everyone "... my liver was pretty gone, basically." And yet, he's been turning drug-induced reverie into wholesome music for longer than two decades. He's still at it, drawing copiously from near life/death experiences, making music on borrowed time. He works like an auteur of sorts, projecting his musical vision through the ever-changing neo-psychedelia 'group' Spiritualized, of which he's been the chief songwriter and only permanent member in its 22-year [...]

Spiritualized , it is often remarked, tend to polarise opinion. Few people just 'like them', or 'think they're alright'. More usually, they are either eulogised as avatars of transcendental bliss who manage to marry core values rock'n'roll and dirty ass garage blues with flights of orchestral and gospel choir sumptuousness, all done through a psychedelic filter that is part bright '60s wide-eyed naïveté and part darker '80s industrial drone; or they are purveyors of turgid, bombastic, repetitious, junky fodder, pawning ideas, riffs and arrangements that were already clichéd first-time around on to an ignorant, stoned, uncritical and unsuspecting audience, too [...]
El Festival No. 6 , se llavará a cabo del 14 al 16 de septiembre en Portmeirion, Gales. Pero es necesario advertir que no es como cualquier otro festival, así lo describe Gareth Cooper (director del festival): "Esperamos que este sea uno de los festivales boutique más sobresalientes del mundo. Es fantástico anunciar un lineup que incluye a New Order , Primal Scream y Spiritualized , y estamos especialmente entusiasmados por trabajar en Portmeirion como locación. Es un lugar impresionante que te deja con la boca abierta, donde ofreceremos un evento premium enfocado [...]
Facebook If you accept that Damon Albarn is speaking truth and that these are the end times for Blur , you have to admit they're doing it right. They've got their August 12 date at Hyde Park in London earmarked as the swan song, a lovely new (final) single in "Under The Westway" in the can and ready to surely top the charts one last time, and before they go, they're clearing out the archival cupboards well and proper. On July 31, to mark the 21st anniversary of their debut [...]
While it's not that easy to rank Sweet Heart, Sweet Light among the last several Spiritualized releases, it's clear that Jason Pierce is still a long way from his 90s peak. I'll let you in on a little secret, my editors are probably going to hate: these number scores are not an exact science. You probably knew that. Music Player (reviews): [...]

'Sweet Heart Sweet Love' is definitely not their best work, but this is a step back in the right direction and a reminder of how influential Spiritualized are.
I have to confess I was a little relieved the first time I heard 'Hey Jane', the initial single from Jason Pierce's latest offering Sweet Heart Sweet Light . Clocking in at just less than 9 minutes, the song stays true to earlier Spiritualized form, building, swelling and driving forward until the inevitable gospel choir begins. And it only gets better from here. A lot has been written about this album and the mental state of J. Spaceman during the recording process. A few years after recovering from an almost deadly pneumonia, and recently undergoing chemotherapy for a [...]
Not that we had a winter this year on the East Coast, but Spring is in full bloom here in Brooklyn. Post-bloom actually, which is a good thing for you allergy sufferers. And so thaws my blog which has been on deep freeze since February. So here we are with this year's Spring Fever mix and I think it turned out pretty good! Lots of great new sounds, covering a lot of sonic territory (well, within a certain pale milieu, let's face it). Anyway, here you go, do enjoy. DOWNLOAD SPRING FEVER 2012 [...]
