Spiritualized: Live at The Albert Hall

Busting out the old guns. I've been listening to old records by Beck, Blur, and Nirvana among others. They're all taking me back. Gave Spiritualized's live album from 1998 a spin earlier. Magnifique! They were touring for "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" when the album was recorded, so they draw primarily from it, but there are a few older tracks in the mix, including "Walking With Jesus" from the Spaceman 3 days. These guys sound really good live. They don't move around much (i was fortunate enough to see them in 1998 and 2008), but the music is spectacular. It's much more like going to the symphony than a rock concert. If you haven't heard it, go pick it up (you can find CD copies for pretty cheap). If you have it but haven't listened in awhile, give it a spin.
